15 years later, what has become of Prison Break star Wentworth Miller?

In 2005, the public discovered the character of Michael Scofield, a talented engineer who was locked in the Fox River prison in order to break out his brother Lincoln (Dominic Purcell). At the time, the public was captivated by the charisma of Michael’s interpreter, Wentworth Miller, during the filming of the first season of the 33-year-old.

The success is total, including in France, where the series is broadcast on M6 Famous credits Sung by rapper Faf Larage, younger brother of Shurikni from IAM. The show ran for 4 seasons and ended (temporarily) in 2009 with the TV movie The Last Escape.

Miller, who got his start on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and ER, eventually found his own series, but once it ended, he struck while the iron was hot. We immediately find it in Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010), an episode of Doctor House and a thriller directed by Karl Urban, Vertigo.

Combining Prison Break into a superhero series

But with the truly superhero series The Flash, the actor will be back. First hired to play the villain Leonard Snart, known as Captain Cold, opposite Barry Allen, played by Grant Gustin, he returned to the series at regular intervals thanks to the public’s enthusiasm for the actor and his sense of supervillain coolness.

Two years later, he and the other Arrowhead characters got their own series called DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, in which he reunited with fellow prison escapee Dominic Purcell. On the show intermittently from 2016 to 2021, he still plays Captain Cold.

At the same time, Miller went “on the other side” of the camera, writing scripts for Park Chan-wook’s psychological thriller Stoker (2013), with Mia Wasikowska and Nicole Kidman, then (with DJ Caruso) the horror thriller The Forgotten Room (2016).

Prison Break Season 5

If Miller is less present, it’s because he’s off in 2017 to film the fifth season — many would say “one season too many” — of Prison Break. It was poorly received and highly criticized, leaving fans with a bitter taste, and the actor was content to appear in two New York episodes – Special Unit and DC’s Legends – before disappearing from the screen for a while.

He’s making his big comeback with his friend Dominic Purcell in Snatchback, a TV series adapted from a true story about a team of secret agents responsible for freeing hostages around the world. To be continued…
