Bravo magazine No. 21/2008
Exclusive! Wentworth Miller
A true Hollywood-Star in Germany – BRAVO makes it possible. No matter where “Prison Break”-Star Wentworth Miller (35) went, the fancrowds were huge. And the excitement was mutual: Wenti was hot for Germany – Love at first sight. He took himself the time for pictures and signatures. He also showed only his best sides for the exclusive photoshooting for BRAVO. Cool posing, his steelblue eyes – a real star. This was to be noticed in the interview too: he talks completely relaxed about his future plans, his love for the German fans and reveals, why he likes German food so much. No airs and graces or diva behaviour. Wentworth Miller, a star to touch….
Bravo: Only for BRAVO and your fans you took a nine-hours flight from LA to Munich. How did you pass the time on the plane?
WM: My iPod has to be with me. I loaded it with the 3rd season of “The Closer” before the trip. I watched several episodes. This is my favourite way to watch series. I don’t like them to watch bit for bit on TV, but rather buy the DVDs and watch, for example, “Law & Order” for a whole weekend.
Bravo: That is what possibly many of your fans do with “Prison Break”….
WM: I totally understand. Our show is created with lots of cliffhangers, so you don’t know what happens next. I don’t know how you can wait seven days for the next episode. I couldn’t do that. I would be too tantalized (?).
Bravo: The German fans have to wait until fall until Season 3 is broadcasted. What’s going to happen?
WM: My character Michael Scofield is back behind bars. Only this time, the situation is completely different for him, cause he’s got no plan, no tattoo – nothing he can count on! Not even his brother is by his side. And it’s going to be real tough since there are no rules in this prison in Panama. “Kill or be killed” is the strategy to survive. There are some new characters of which you don’t know who they are or what they want. It’s going to be exciting, I can promise that!
Bravo: There’s talk that the fourth season might be the last….
WM: We wil continue as long as the plots are good and as long we have fans who want to watch the show. In the US the show’s success is only mediocre. Whereas in other countries such as Germany the quotas (?) are amazing. Well, as long as people tune in, we will go on.
Bravo: Only recently have you been to other European countries like Italy and Sweden. Are the German fans in any way special?
WM: Everywhere my fans are very friendly and enthusiastic. They are all the same regarding that. But what I appreciated about the BRAVO Supershow was the extreme closeness to the fans. I think it’s great that Bravo involves them in such an event. That’s why it is important to me to spend as much time as possible with them and give autographs. They deserve it.
Bravo: You went out for some German food. What did you like most?
WM: I tried all kinds of dishes, like Schnitzel and Bavarian veal sausage and everything. But I really enjoyed strudels. I love desserts (laughs). A lukewarm (?) strudel topped with icecream…. I could have this every day…
Bravo: Do you speak German?
WM: Hm, not really. (says in German) Bitte, danke, guten Tag, auf Wiedersehen. (Back in English) When I received my Golden Bravo Otto for “Shooting-Star”, I yelled some German words towards the fans.
Bravo: Why don’t you stay a little bit longer and learn German?
WM: (laughs) I’d like to, but I have to get back to work soon, the next season of PB starts shooting. I’ve had a long break because of the writers’ strike. During that time I tried to see my friends and family as often as possible. They have been missing out on me, because the previous seasons were shot in Chicago and Dallas.
Bravo: But now it was worth coming! You won the Golden Otto for “Shooting Star” and Silver for “Best male TV-Star”. What are you going to do with your trophies?
WM: I’ll make room for them on my bookshelves right next to my favourite books. I will soon move within Los Angeles and in my new apartment I will position the Bravo-Ottos for everyone to see. Probably at each end of a shelf, so everyone can see them!
Bravo: Next to which other trophies?
WM: It is the first time I really won something. The Ottos are the first prizes I can hold in my own hands. Wow, they’re quite heavy! Great, those little Indians, I’m gonna polish them everyday! (laughs and says in German) Danke!
Bravo: What do those prizes for your work mean to you?
WM: I’m not someone who is doing this job to gain prizes. It’s a great thing but it’s not why I became an actor. I like to tell stories. But those trophies are the icing on the cake. It’s a great feeling to know your work is cherished. And it is especially exciting, since BRAVO has such a long history. It is nice to rank in a long list of stars who won Bravo Ottos already – musicians and actors to go back until James Dean in the 50s. This is something very special!
Bravo: So overall, your visit to Germany was successful! What have been looking forward to the most?
WM: I’m always excited to go to a foreign country! Everytime, I’m happy to meet other artists. I’ve heard there are great rappers in Germany. I know, that Azad performed “Prison Break Anthem – ich glaub an dich (my add: I believe in you)”, the title song to our show.
Bravo: If the fans nominate you again next year – will you come?
WM: By all means! I was welcomed so heartily and had a great time with the German fans…
