Here is the interview I mentioned in the other board, The one about Went in Cannes. The intro is in french but it mostly just talks about how Went and the gang went to promote PB in Cannes and then the questions are all in english. Not much new but some really cute Went moments

You know what's funny about this interview is that it isn't translated properly. They ask him why PB is so popular, and he says it has a little bit of everything...action, suspense, structural engineering. I'ts a cute joke, but they translate "structural engineering" to "good looking men" which has a totally different meaning and makes him seem conceited.

That's what sucks with translating, you might get teh gist of what the people are saying but you won't get the proper image or the completeness of what they said or meant.

A translation of the italian scans:
First scan:
The co-protagonist of the cult series Prison break talks This show is a prison
After playing Michael Scofield for 4 years, Wentworth Miller wants a change. "I don't want to lament" he says "but I feel trapped in a box"
In the TV Show "Prison break" Wentworth Miller plays a young engineer who's willing to do everything (including going to a maximum security jail) to save his brother, an innocent man sent to death row. The love for the family and the determination caracterises Wentworth too: "Like Michael I dedicate too a lot of time to myfamily and friends" revels the actor to Sorisi (the italian magazine). "Like him, I have a lot of respect for organising things, I'm precise and methodical. But, on the other hand, I wouldn't be capable of doing what he has done. I could go to jail, but I wouldn't ne able to escape."
Being an english major helped you in becoming a better actor?
"It sure it did. Thanks to my training I'm able to apreciate at their true value the scripts I got. I can see the true shades of a character and apreciate better some details. Studying teached me the value of discipline, a thing you need to make way in this business."
Did having an africanamerican father and a white mother stand in the way of your career?
"I can't deny it. In Hollywood it's better to match a stereotype. The producers are searching for the new Tom Hanks, a young Denzel Washington. And because of my looks I can't be put in one category. Maybe in a few years I'll be the model.
What do you respond to people who say Prison Break is very violent?
"Besides being an action series, Prison Break shows the best qualities of the human spirit. The prtagonist it's pushed by his love for his brother and he faces the evil with all his forces to save him."
The primary intention of the producers was the show to last maximum 2 seasons, instead we're already at the 4th:
"I think the series won't last too long. At least that's what I hope, because I start feeling like a prisoner myself. I know I shouldn't lament, but I don't like being trapped in a box."
Are you protective with your private life? How do you manage to avoid the paparazzis?
"It's enough to know how to give up your social life. Going to parties isn't for me. It's a dangerous road and I prefer not to take it."

Last scan:
I won't escape from TV Wentworth Miller, "Prison Break" fugitive, speaks
Wentworth Miller, english born raised in Brooklyn, is Michael Scofield, "Prison Break" protagonist (the second season on DVD and first season on Blu-ray are out april 9), which counts many fans in Italy too. So many fans, that added Milan to the promotional tour.
The fugitive Michael Scofield is good or bad?
"He has the same damned charm as Hanibal Lecter. Anthony Hopkins accepted the character with the belief that he's not a bad person. Every person is on a balance between good and evil."
Do you have the same will power as your character?
"In a certain way, yes. I would love to be more involved in the process of making, into scenaries, directing and editing."
Will the 3rd season interrupted because of the writer's strike continue?
"No. In mid-may will begindirectly with the 4th season. The important thing is always to be a begining and an end. "Prison Break" is not "Law & Order" or "CSI", and can't be ebdless."
Do you wanna do cinema?
"Now, the TV series are better written than the movies and the actors are always searching interesting stories. I belive that nowadays the TV gives you better oportunities."
And is also watched by a larger number of people:
"It's incredible the success "Prison Break" has in foreign countries. In China the show is banned, but every week 135 mil chinese people download it...illegally."

OK, while we are waiting for the better quality video, here is the transkript!
Stupid interviewer: Prison Break is ready for its 4. th season and Wentworth Miller has already charmed a whole world. But himself has trouble with getting used to the huge interest around him as a person.
Went: We’ve become a culture that is obsessed with celebrities, we seem to want to know everything. There are 3000 pictures of me out there, holding a cup of Starbucks coffee, coming out of a coffee shop. Apparently you know, it just doesn’t get old, just you know, only gets more interesting, to see me and that cup of Starbucks coffee.
Stupid interviewer: Despite his fame, is it important for him to keep his private life and family private.
Went: I try to keep a very distinct line between my public life and my private life. I feel as though my family, their privacy, their safety is my responsibility and I have a lot of respect for keeping them away from the business as much as possible.
Stupid Interviewer: But I bet your parents are really proud of you.
Went: They are, they are. My mom gets asked to come up with head shots and, you know, autograph this and that for the neighbors and for distant cousins, that kind of thing, and she enjoys that part of it; so they get the perks, and none of the responsibility.
Stupid interviewer: The handsome actor lives constantly with speculations around him as a person, and he gets confrontated about the rumors about him being gay all the time. Its probably a reliefe for Went when I tell him about the latest rumour from Norway.
Stupid Interviewer: latest gossip, how do you stay fit? Went: (laughs) That’s funny. I like to exercise, I like to swim, I like to hike, running, and the show is very physical. There are a lot of stunts, a lot of car crashes, a lot of climbing and falling
Stupid interviewer: To sit only cm away from one of the most beautiful men in the world makes anyone loose their consetration (touches his arm) Went: Yeah, bulky sweaters.
Stupid interviewer: I get that confused that I actually manage to ask the same question over again.
Stupid Interviewer: what kind of exercise do you do? Went: swimming, hiking, running
Stupid Interviewer: yes, yes, but in private? Went: In private? Swimming, hiking, running (laughs) Thanks to Emmy from Excommunicated
