Prison Break
Season 4
Casting News
Michael Rapaport has signed on to Prison Break Season 4 as a regular.
Rapaport will play a government agent who has an interesting offer for Michael Scofield and his brother. Rapaport is probably best known for his role on My Name is Earl.

I assume he will be playing the character Don. I don’t remember him from My Name is Earl, but I do remember him from Boston Public. So who will be playing Penrab?
Yeah i’ve seen this guy before. He starred in My Name is Earl and a few series of Friends.
He won’t be playin’ Don Sona44.
It says he will be playin’ a government agent offering Michael something.
yes, and the name of that government agent will be Don
yes, and the name of that government agent will be Don
it was said few days ago
Isn’t he kind of goofy and funny? I can’t see him on pb…should be different
God! This wuss on PB ? that’s just not right
Is he going to bring some comic relief to the show? He had his own sitcom last season and the movies I’ve seen him in, he’s usually the funny guy! It’ll be interesting to see what kind of character he’ll portray.
he was in next friday i think he was a mailman and i think he was in an episode of ER as a dying patent that just wanted to see his daughter before he died
yeah i honestly cant see this guy on a serious show like prison break
As for Michael Rapaport joining the Prison Break cast: I think his role could be convincing once they give him a suit, new hair and a pair of Mahone glasses. Originally I doubted that William Fichtner could play the role of Agent Mahone so well. But he did, and now he’s one of my favorite characters.
I completely agree with Juan. While i’m a little… confused by this casting choice, i’m looking forward to what he’s got to offer.
If anyone saw Paul Adelstein in his Private Practice roll they’d never think someone like him could pull off a Kellerman-like roll. So maybe this Michael guy will do well.
But i still hope that these new government types dont remove Mahone [or hopefully Kellerman] from the picture.
it seems like a good choice !
i like him !
i still hope they bring Kellerman back, hopefully because they shoot in LA maybe Paul Adelstein can do both shows ( PP and PB)
we will be so lucky, i loved him so much in season 2.
ya i agree bring kellerman back think about it season4 we cud have michael and linc, kellerman,mahone,don this new guy and penrab lol awesome
Thanks Juan. I just finished reading all the comments posted and I was surprised by qq’s response… I was just giving my honest opinion. Er, is that post script for me?
hey guys and Nikki :
have you noticed that no one has commented on
the ” W M hints that season 4 is the last ” post ?
i guess no one wants to think about that
While I think this guy is an odd choice, he has done drama before. he was in Copland as Supercop & did very well in that role. He usually plays funny roles because he kinda looks goofy & funny. As for season 4 being be last I agree. There wasn’t a comment box for that comment.Since they moved filming to LA that was a last ditch effort to keep the show on the air. When they start cutting money instead of spending you know the end is near.
true SOP - hadn’t noticed that!!
That’s because there was no way to post any comments on PB season 4 comment.
I LIKE PRISONBREAK . BUT MICHEAL IS GOOD FOR SEASON 4.
qq .. Will you P-L-E-A-S-E just shut up and start acting “normal”??!
Nobody, I mean, N-O-B-O-D-Y likes you and the stuff you say about these innocent people, who are just placing their comments / opinions / questions, the little dumb things you say, you have absolutely NO reason, what so ever, to attack these guys …
We, and with the word “we”, I can speak on behalf of ALL of US, are tired of you and your useless, lame comments .. FOR NO REASON AT ALL …
As a matter of fact; I think you should apologize to sona44 and Mahmuda.
{Actually, ALL of “your victims”, should deserve an apologize} ..
Great! Season 4 will be the best.
Nikki i wanted to leave a comment on wents comment on season 4 being the last, but the page isn’t loading properly. where there usually is a place for comments, its just blank! Any ideas as to why?? Cheers
yes Nikki
i guess it’s more a technical problem than a choice
i really thought that people would not leave any comment because they did not want PB to end but it was only my personal feeling
Sorry Nikki. I know you had to take those posts down but I had to defend us all. I can’t wait for Season 4. I just hope they do not stray away from the Sona penitentiary set like the rumors suggest. I guess they could convince the audience that they transferred all the prisoners to another prison because of all the prison escape attempts resulting in so many deaths. I originally thought they would move them all to the other wing of the facility that Lechero spoke about when he talked about where the tunnel used to connect to. But unless they film on location it wont really be convincing. I don’t want to see more Rapaport and less Knepper just because I need that sinister brand of comedy. I just wonder if the introduction of all these new characters are to make up for a lack of Sucre, Bellick, Theodore & Pistachio.
Nikki!!! It’s not that easy for us PB fans to be getting so many updates and scoops on our favourite stars, so why won’t you let us post comments on them?! Why are the pages blank? I so wanted to comment on the photos at the Fox Upfront 2008, and of course the official summary! Since there’s no way for me of posting them over there, I’m gonna have to do it over here then! With all that’s been surfacing lately, it is safe to say that Season 4 will the best season ever! I mean, what can be better than MiSa and Michael removing his tattoos!!!!! OMG, more shirtless scenes perhaps?!
There you go! I had to get that off my chest! I’m so excited people!!!!!!!!!!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry guys - there was a glitch in the comments. Let me know if you see it on any more posts!!
eeew! that loser is gonna be on pb?! aw man! i thought pb s4 was gonna b the best!
I agree.. i dont like that guy joining PB. I dont understand why the choice him in the first place.. anyone would be better then him.. He cant play that kind of character, cant watch him without thinking about him as a goofy.. and he always to sounds like an idiot.. “an-an-and you know..” “an-an-and you got too..”
