Movies are great but Dominic Purcell's day job is still Prison Break. The show keeps audiences on its toes. First they're breaking out, then they're on the run, then they're chasing the conspirators, now they're running again. Purcell filled us in on the action-packed antics coming up in the rest of the season.
Do you think you guys are going back to prison?
“God no. If anyone’s going to be behind bars, I could imagine Michael being behind bars and Lincoln trying to break him out maybe.”
What do you think of the dynamics constantly changing?
“Yeah. I think the dynamic of the show is continuing to rise. People are just loving the show and I don’t think Prison Break has a problem with dynamics. It’s just getting more and more intense. I suppose there’s an unusual dynamic between Kellerman and Lincoln and Michael. Lincoln’s having to justify his reasons to why he shouldn’t kill Kellerman so, yeah.”
Are you doing any more stunts?
“The other day I was on a moving train on the roof and that was kind of terrifying. The stunt man was insisting that I was going to be all right but I felt very precarious up there.”
Stacy Keach is coming back for an episode. Will he and Lincoln resolve any issues?
“I don't know. I think his issue’s more to do with his son. I think Pope and Michael have something to sort out.”
How do you think the brothers’ relationship is evolving?
“I think the relationship hasn’t had time to really grow. It hasn’t had time to really gestate because they’re much more concerned about trying to evade the law. But there have been glimpses. There have been moments of insight into the way the guys are ticking, but we haven’t had an opportunity to really explore that yet because the brothers are so caught up in that frenetic world of escaping.”
Would you like to?
“Of course. As an actor, you’d love to. Michael and Lincoln have to service the plot at present and the other characters are the guys that are getting all the fun stuff to do. Michael and Lincoln are just having to deal with the A story.”
What's your real relationship like?
“I just have the utmost respect for Wentworth just as a person. He’s very polite, genteel private guy. He’s a good friend.”
