It all started with the tattoo

From the rip-off-skin monster in Buffy to the fascinating and intelligent fugitive in Prison Break: Wentworth Miller tells us his fantastic climb to success.

If we ever have to go unfairly to prison, we would like to meet someone like Michael Scofield. Maybe he's not the most popular, and the tattoos may be a little bit disturbing, but it takes little to undestand that he's got the brains. If the thing you have to do is to avoid the electric chair, no matter the cost, he's the perfect man for it. To play the part in Prison Break is Wentworth Miller, the actor born in England (but from an american family), who gave a face and a voice to Michael. Miller gave to the character a particular charm, both discreet and piercing, which determined many casualties among the hearts of female fans around the globe. We met him in Milan, where he came to promote the second season on DVD and the first season in Blu-ray. He appaeared exactly like he'sin the show, short hair, foxy expression, but he laughed in 20 minutes more than he laughed during the 3 years on the show. Above all, he proved to be a down-to-earth boy, available and ready to sign an avalanche of autopraphs.

You're in Italy to promote the DVDs and Blu-ray of Prison Break, which is also the first series to arrive in this new format here in Italy. What do you think about this fast progress in the entertainment industry?

I think nowadays the TV is ready to compete with the cinema, even to surpass it, both in the writing and in the visiual effects. The new technology allows people to enjoy a series like never before and this makes a great atmosphere. It's an evident fact, even from my personal experience: i owe a lot ot the TV, because now that Prison Break it's such an international hit, I get o lot of offers for cinema roles.

During the first season you were in jail, then you got out and after you got in again. What do you preffer, like an actor, for your character?

I have to tell you the truth: I was happy when Michael returned to jail. That's his area, the place where, paradoxically, he feels at ease. Outside the prison he's more reactive, he must manage a large number of problems and chalanges, but it's between prison walls where he gives his best. There we see working his incredible intelligence.

Amongst other things, now Michael it's in even more trouble, because he has no tattoos!

"In fact it's pretty funny: now that the tattoos are useless, I avoid to apply them on my body, with the result that I have to wear long sleaved t-shirts. If I wouldn't do it people would notice that there's no tattoo in reality. Anyway, even if I don't know what happens in writer's minds, I'm sure that the tattoos will become important again in the future. Not now, where we are, but maybe they'll be able to inspire Michael in one way or another. They're still a symbol of Michael's genius, and we can't just forget them."

Even Prison Break was affected by the writer's strike, which made the third season being reduced to half. What's your opinion about this?

"I think the strike was important, because their reasons were fair. It's also true that there were many collateral damages: if the writers stop all the other people working on a series or a TV program remain without a job. But there's more: in Texas, where we were filming the series, our constant presence there helped the local tourism to develop, because we all used their services, restaurants and bars for example. 10 episodes less than anticipated was a serious problem even for them. So, the issue is complicated. Thank goodness, the strike is over."

Who are your favourite characters from Prison break? And with which member of the cast do you particulary connect?

"In both cases I say Sarah Wayne Callies, with her Dr. Sara Tancredi, and Paul Adelstein, who played agent Kellerman. I particulary like these characters because they're ambigous: nobody is completly good or evil, they have many shades. Sara helps Michael because she realises he's a good person, but thinking about it you realise the helps escape bad prisoners like T-Bag, without even counting her drug past. Instead, Kellerman is a bastard, but after you start feeling for him because he's betrayed by his partners and he finally sacrifices himself to have his revenge. It's this ambiguity that makes me apreciate Michael too: he's done everything to save his brother, but this made hin comit/accept different crimes."

In the past, you appeared in different Tv shows, sometimes with small parts. What's you're favourite one?

"I have a strong memory about the Buffy part, because it was my first part on a series and I was nrevous, even though my part was small. I remember being excited thinking of being on the same set with David Boreanaz, who I apreciate a lot. I was playing a monster who ripped his own skin, in a pretty cruel scene. It was fun, because at the end of filming, the group told me I was good at playing it and if they needed a rip-the-skin monster again they would call me for sure."

Reading on the internet I saw that you're a fan of Law & Order, it's because there are so many lawyers in your family?

"No, it's not beacuse of that. Curiously, even though I'm in a series where the episodes are connected to eachother, as a TV watcher I prefer the series where every episode is independent. Series like Law & Order, CSI or Without trace allow you to see an episode once in a while, without making you feel frustrated for not knowing what happened in the previuos episodes. It's a challenge for the writers who have to write a believable and captivating story which must end in 40 minutes. Also, I don't like to wait a week to know what happens next: I wanna see more episodes at one time, and that's why when I have a little spare time I start a dvd watching maraton, sitting on my couch."

Some readers wrote us telling they would like to see you smile more often. Do you yhink there's aplace for commedy in your future?

"In fact, on Prison Break there's nothing to laugh about. To answer your question: I would like it, I try not to limit myself. During the last few months I refused various scripts, which wanted me palying a character very similar to Michael Scofield's. Even though I'm very happy to be a part of Prison Break, I don't want my career to be narrowed around one character or a genre. I would like to try commedy, but also romantic movies or thrillers diffrent from the series. I think one actor always has to explore new paths, even though that means working with first hand direstors or on low budget movies. The important thing is the talent and the desire to create something beautiful for the people watching."
