Stacy Keach Interview

by Patrick on May 10th, 2006

The Warden, Stacy Keach, revealed his true feelings about his six-month prison stint in Redding Jail in 1984, how the Pope has turned into an “avenging angel” and hopes for Season 2 of Prison Break to TVGuide.com in this informative interview. Here are some of the highlights…

TVGuide.com: Does Michael attempt to plead his case?
Keach: Well, he apologizes. He bashes the Pope on the head, ties him up and throws him in the closet — but he apologizes before he does it. [Laughs]

TVGuide.com: Wade Williams (Bellick) told me that once the boys escape, the show will adopt a Fugitive flavor. How will the Pope fit in?
Keach: I don’t know that he does. I’m not sure. When I signed on to this thing, it was originally for four shows, so I don’t know what they have in mind. Now, I’m going to be in Chicago anyway in the fall, doing King Lear at the Goodwin Theater, so I said, “Look, I’ll be there anyway. You don’t have to fly me in and out! Keep the Pope alive!” Make him a weekend warrior and put him on a Harley looking for those guys. Prison Break will resume production in June, and I am going to be in the first couple episodes [of Season 2], I know that. The truth of the matter is, the Pope has more reason to go after Michael than anyone else. He took this kid under his wing and trusted him. He feels so betrayed by this. You’ll see that in the season finale. He’s like, “Do whatever you can to get this kid!”
