5 Things You Didn’t Know About Prison Break
1. It was filmed in John Wayne Gacy’s former cell
The producers of Prison Break were intent on making the series as authentic as possible, but viewers had little idea just how close to reality it would tread.
2. Prison Break’s stars were cast at the last minute
Once FOX gave the go-ahead to shoot the first season in 2005, series mastermind Paul Scheuring worked to get everything in place for the new show: directors, crew members and supporting players. But, Scheuring almost forgot to cast the stars. The roles of Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows went unfilled until less than a week before the show started filming.
3. Prison Break was almost a superstar miniseries
4. A spinoff series was made exclusively for mobile phones
Prison Break’s instantaneous ratings success, especially with the all-important young male demographic, made it an immediate favorite with sponsors. In fact, Toyota was so eager to identify itself with the show that it signed a deal with FOX that gave it sole sponsorship rights to an exclusive internet spinoff show. The first of several “mobisodes,” Prison Break: Proof of Innocence, became available on the internet in May 2006 and several others have followed.
5. Wentworth Miller is Mariah Carey’s video hunk of choice
Both of Prison Break’s stars, Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller, have become prime-time heartthrobs for the female audience due to their chiseled looks and — let’s face it ladies — that irresistible convicted-felon, bad-boy aura. But some hard-core Prison Break fans might be perturbed to know that Miller has a whole other career as an object of affection on MTV. Miller is a favored love interest of Mariah Carey — in her videos at least.
