Prison Break Panel - Comic Con - Live
NO WENTWORTH!! Everyone’s upset, and Dominic seems a little hurt that they are upset!!
After the sneak peek clip everyone came on stage.
Sarah Wayne Callies thanks the audience for their fan mail and says she’s gotten a ton of origami swans. Meanwhile Dominic Purcell takes pictures of the audience!! Sarah says that Sara is coming back a very different person. She says that she sees it in friends of hers that are coming back from the war, and it’s an interesting time to relate to this…
Matt Olmstead adds to this, saying that they couldn’t give Sarah a role during Season 3 because she’d just be tied to a chair. “There are no physical barriers, but there are barriers,” he says in regards to their characters.
We are told that, this season Michael will be affected by stress in a way nobody can predict.
Sarah talks about her “I think in the beginning of the series Sara was an advocate on behalf of men on death role. She was profoundly influenced by Gandhi. And I think now there’s a very small part of her that thinks that it’s all out the window. That it’s easier to be motivated by rage and hatred and revenge. And if it were not for Michael she would not bother looking beyond that.” She says Sara needs to look inside herself. And where are the characters going? To the ultimate extreme and they all know they can die. She says a small part of Sara wants to give into that, and throw herself into the bullets - rather than look at herself in the mirror at the end of the day and wonder who she is.
Sucre will be back, along with Mahone and Bellick - which we already knew!!
A fan asks what they do behind the scenes, do they have fun, and will we ever see bloopers?!? “We’ve been doing this for four years,” Dominic says. “And it comes to the place where you’ve got to crack jokes!” He says he’s serious about what he does, but he also realizes the absurdity about it. “We’ve all got a really good vibe,” he says. Dominic also gives a nod to the writers. “The writers on this show allow the actors to be spontaneous and give us permission to play with their words. That is unique and gives us a good deal of comfort.”
Sarah agrees. “I think there’s also points when you’ve been working for 16 hours and sprinting and running, and you hit a certain point where it’s all funny. And then you just need to go home!”
Dominic talks about Wentworth and says they work well together. “A relationship for me and Went is all about friendship. Working with Went has been one of the easiest things of my professional career.”
One of the fans wishes Sarah’s daughter a happy birthday (on Monday). Sarah thanks her and then talks about being on network television every week. She says it’s great for her own mom to watch her! Although not the drowning or the head in the box scene. “I may get back to theater, sooner rather than later,” she says. Not sure what that means!!
Another fan asks about a clip at the end of the Season 2 finale with what looked like an animal lab. Dominic and Sarah say they want to know too! Matt says that it was scripted to be Padman putting on a mask and walking into an animal testing facility - just to add in some intrigue. The writers argued about it and decided to cut out right before he walked in. It may come into Season 4, it may not…
That’s it guys! Dominic bolted immediately. I tried to get an autograph from Sarah but the staff shoved us away and she left. Dominic then got swarmed offstage as everyone exited. I do have to say, he seemed VERY grumpy!! I don’t know what was up, but this panel didn’t have the energy that the one before it did (24). Still, I was thrilled to be here!! Hopefully I can an interview or set visit soon. Maybe we can start rallying together to get one!

Went is supposedly off filming :( I actually saw a paper from Fox last week that did not have Wentworth on the list, so I was wondering.
Sierra

Thank you, Nikky! Even Went is not into what you wrote, it was interesting! ;)
Sierra
Jul 25, 2008 at 7:35 pm

No Wentworth?!! I would be hugely disappointed if i had gone to the Comic Con. He is the reason why i am watching the show. His relationship with Sara spices things up. I kept wondering why there weren’t pics coming out of the Comic con event, so no wonder, he wasn’t even there!! :(

Nikki,
i am kind of sad for Dominic, it’s true that the fans have focused on Wentworth and then on Michael and Sara…
but Dominic is great !!!!
i hope he knows that we need him in the show !
guys, what do you think ?
Saba
Jul 26, 2008 at 4:55 am
@SOP, I think so too!
Nikki
Jul 26, 2008 at 8:39 am
@SOP - I agree, but he didn’t even give the audience a chance! He just immediately turned grumpy and disengaged.

Wentworth is known to promise he’ll show up at various event then doesn’t… he and his boyfriend are going through some tough times.
ABC
Jul 26, 2008 at 9:00 am
@Don Draper: Whats this about Wentworth ’s boyfriend? Its not real unless of course you believe all the tabloids you read.
@ Nikki: Its ok 24headquarters.com just posted it.. Aaah exciting stuff! And thanx for asking <3
ABC

Hi V!
How are you doing this Saturday?
I’m fine.
Oh I’m so sorry about your grandparents, I really really didn’t know.
I didn’t mean to upset you :(
Oh you have your own house there, how cool!
Maybe if we ever get the chance to meet each other, you’d invite me over there :p
LOL hun only joking ya :p
I just came back from various websites and fansites of both Prison Break and Wentworth Miller.
Apparently most female fans left as soon as it was announced that Went wasn’t there :(
How could have they done that?!
If I was there, I would have stayed and listened to what the rest had to say about the show :(
After all, we are fans of Prison Break and not just Wentworth Miller :)
What do you think V?
I agree with you SOP,
We need Dom just as much too :)
I loved him when he was in John Doe and a guest star in North Shore.
He was also a guest star in one episode of House M.D. Season 1.
I don’t care about what he does outside of acting, I still like him :)
Maybe that’s why he sort of sulked a bit suddenly, he knew know that not all of them are actually genuine fans of the show.
Hi Saba,
How are you?
LOL on your dream!!!
I’m imagining Went with purple hair LOL!!!
Did you go anywhere during your summer holidays?
@Tabitha, Mahmuda (hey M, where you at?), Enroc, MiSa, Sierra, Jody6055, Tom, Juan, SOP, dogloverkd, Aly, Chiara, Trista, anyone and everyone!
Hope you’re enjoying your weekend so far :))
SOP
Jul 26, 2008 at 9:20 am
sona44 : i can’t believe that fans would leave …very rude !
i admit that Wentworth is unbelievably handsome but come on Dominic is so handsome too.
Actually in John Doe he was so cute, i like him with hair :) ( i think i’ve said that already in different posts, I’m just repeating myself, sorry, )
thanks saba and nikki for responding

Hey SOP,
Is Lincoln your favourite character in Prison Break?
SOP
Jul 26, 2008 at 10:38 am
Sona44 : thank you for asking !
no i like lincoln as well as i like michael, for me the show is about the 2 brothers
and then it’s mahone and kellerman.
i can’t say i am a misa fan but i was glad that they brought sara back
but i felt bad for dominic for a minute :)
what about you ?
Nikki
Jul 26, 2008 at 12:07 pm
Hey guys … I’ve been pondering this whole panel thing all night and I have to say that I’m still upset about Dominic! I think the guy is a great actor and I was soo excited to see both he and Wentworth - but he was just blah last night! Yes, he may have been having an off night, yes he may have been pissed about the reaction to Wentworth not being there - but gosh darn it, there were a TON of true Prison Break fans there who wanted to see the real Dom and to get excited. I mean, the fact that people left out of this huge room should not have bothered him that much. People were doing it constantly in all the panels. Heck, the panel before 24 was some SciFi author and the room was PACKED because everyone was waiting for 24! But the author knew it wasn’t all for him and he was funny, gracious, and actually made me interested in his books! Dominic could have easily turned it around and made the “Wentworth Only” fans into Dominic and/or Prison Break fans too…. I also think that Comic Con handled it badly. They should have announced prior to the panel starting that Wentworth would not be there - that way the Wentworth fans could have cleared out, possibly allowing true PB fans still in line to come in. Then the reaction would have been different when Dom walked in… *sigh*
SOP
Jul 26, 2008 at 12:20 pm
ok i guess you’re right Nikki, he should have handled it better.
in fact it’s his job :)
but hey, let’s think he was in a bad day.
thank you for going there…
Nikki
Jul 26, 2008 at 12:25 pm
@ SOP - don’t get me wrong, I still love Dom. I just wanted so much more. And part of it was my excitement and energy all day long for the panel!! My back still aches from sitting in those hard chairs for 8 hours :) I literally did not get up to eat, go to the bathroom, NOTHING. And neither did the fans around me!
SOP
Jul 26, 2008 at 12:31 pm
yes i understand
believe me
i was excited for you, too !
i imagined that i was going to see a picture of you between Went and Dom :)
oh well next time !
thank you again for all the waiting

Jul 26, 2008 at 2:21 pm
@ Nikki, wow. 8 hours, you are a trooper! That’s what it takes though! :) I agree with you on how ComicCon should have handled it. Dom actually made a few jokes, however to me he still seemed a bit more interested in his phone.
Nikki
Jul 26, 2008 at 5:01 pm
@Andrea - I agree on the couple of jokes, but I was expecting more of his energetic interviews!
scylla.??
Jul 27, 2008 at 7:30 pm
how was he rude? can you give an example, or tell us somthing he did
Tabitha
Jul 28, 2008 at 12:18 am
Oh dear, i can’t believe people would walk out! Its true this was Pb panel not just Wentworth panel. Never mind i’m sure he has his reasons?!?! But yeh so nice to see Dom & sarah! :0) Sad to hear that Dom was rude tho, there’s no need, even if you’re having an off day, being in the public eye, you’d think he’d know better?!
