Dominic Purcell Interview
Love this interview with Crave and Dominic Purcell!
Crave Online: What do you think of Prison Break continuing to change the dynamic?
Dominic Purcell: 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.
Crave Online: Will you get to do any more stunts as you guys run?
Dominic Purcell: 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.
Crave Online: Do they let you do a lot yourself?
Dominic Purcell: Yeah, I’m a physical kind of guy. I’ve always liked being physical. It takes a stuntman to really say, “Look, we don’t want you to do this. No, no, I’m serious, you’re not going to do this” to get me not to do my stuff.
Crave Online: Did you expect Prison Break to become such a hit?
Dominic Purcell: Well, you never expect a show to be a massive hit around the world. You just don’t expect that. The best you can hope for when you sign up for a TV show or a pilot is that it gets picked up. That’s your first step. The second step is ratings. So no, I didn’t expect it to do what it’s doing.
Crave Online: What do you relate to about Lincoln?
Dominic Purcell: Michael’s sensitive and Lincoln’s sensitive even though he disguises it through his brutality and his armor that he has. The two characters have a similar kind of sense of humor which we’ll be seeing this year. Lincoln tends to call Michael on sh*t a lot and vice versa. So there are a lot of similarities.
Crave Online: Do you ever wish you had switched parts?
Dominic Purcell: No. I never wanted that role. I was always fascinated with Lincoln.
Crave Online: Do you have brothers?
Dominic Purcell: Yeah, I have five brothers.
Crave Online: Did you and Wentworth bond to give yourselves that kind of bond?
Dominic Purcell: Not really. We just good friends. Wentworth and I are pretty easygoing guys. Went’s obviously very, very private but we have a great relationship in that we come to work and we can easily discuss certain things and it’s not a problem. There’s no censorship between us. So Went’s always offering things and likewise. Wentworth and I have to work out, and are working out, the history between the brothers and the way they interact, the way they did before they were incarcerated. That’s been one of the funs and joys of doing this season.
