Robert Knepper chats with Digital Spy about his character and the way that Prison Break ended.

Robert reveals that he’s happy with the way the series ended. “We talked about so many different possibilities, but I thought the show was a whole as a great book-end. We all agreed that purgatory was the best end for my character. If not, there would have been a lot of people saying, ‘Oh my God - T-Bag’s out!’ I’m very happy with it, especially the reference to the pocket-grabbing thing. We actually had the same costumes from the first season, too. It was a great way to end the whole thing for me.”

As for his favorite part of being a part of the show? “The humour of T-Bag. I loved being this kind of guy who attacked every frickin’ race on the planet! When I did the first episode, it wasn’t funny - he wanted to start a riot against the blacks. I was so worried when that episode aired - being in Chicago - that I would need security. I thought the black population would think I was a racist and beat me up or something! But they were the most vocal about it - they thought it was great! Any time that T-Bag got to shock the hell out of someone, those were my favourite moments.”

Robert says that he never worried whether T-Bag would survive, because he wanted to be present in the moment. “I never thought ahead. I wanted to do the best job I could do. I jumped through all the hoops that you do as an actor and I signed a seven-year contract. I had a friend once who said, ‘T-Bag put the prison in Prison Break’. Once the show hit, I had a good feeling that T-Bag was gonna be in for a long ride.”

So how did his tongue-flicking mannerisms come about? “I’ll tell you how that happened: it was the first part I played where I had facial hair - the crumb catcher - and it tickled me because I was just getting used to it. If you look at it from the beginning, it was really just me feeling my little whiskers! And then I kind of ran with it and it stuck.”

Lincoln Burrows was attached to two very different women in this series - Veronica and Sofia. Who do you like better?

In Prison Break Season 1 we’re first introduced to Veronica Donovan as Lincoln’s ex-girlfriend. Veronica and Lincoln dated while they were in high school and Veronica became good friends with Michael.

Veronica then moved from Chicago to attend the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where she received a B.A. in political science. After receiving her Juris Doctor from Baylor Law School in Waco, Texas, she moved back to Chicago and worked as a real estate lawyer at Bianchi and Guthrie.

Her relationship with Lincoln did not last long and both of them separated.

In Prison Break Season 3 Lincoln met Sofia Lugo while trying to get his brother out of SONA. At the time they meet Sofia is the girlfriend of James Whistler. She attempts to get him out of prison and works side by side with Lincoln. Their relationship grows closer and she learns more and more about Whistler and the truth behind his lies.

In the season finale Sofia decided to break up with Whistler, when she realizes that she could no longer trust him. As Michael leaves to find Whistler, Lincoln and LJ decided to stay back to take care of Sofia.

In Prison Break Season 4, Sofia is held captive by Company agents but is released unharmed by the General after Sucre and C-Note apprehend him. Four years later, she is shown to be romantically involved with Lincoln.

Who do you think was a better match for Lincoln?

Robert Knepper opens up on T-Bag’s future, saying that he talked about it with the producers.

“We talked about it, you know,” he told TV Guide Network’s Hollywood 411. “Is he gonna be like Hannibal Lecter? Is he gonna die? Is he gonna go to prison? There are so many choices. I think they picked the greatest one, and I’m not gonna tell you what it is.”

As for his character? “It’s like being a dog,” he said. “They just do anything they want and get away with it. Bulldog, rottweiler, you name it. He’s a little poodle. He’s a Dalmatian. He’s a Doberman. He’s all of them.”

Knepper says that he will miss the cast now that the show has ended family. “When you know the rapport with the guys and you feel it everyday for four years, that’s what I’ll miss,” he said. “We’ll have some new families, but [this] was a great family.”

Michael Scofield’s tattoo removal has always been a bit far-fetched, but it seems the reason for the lack of tattoos is completely justified!

When asked what the show’s biggest leap of logic has been over the series, Executive Producer Matt Olmstead admits it’s the tattoo.

“Wentworth was developing a skin irritation to having this thing applied to his body constantly, which I can get, even like the ones that were just on his arm. So we had to figure out a way; instead of him wearing long-sleeved shirts all the time can we zap the tattoo?”

“Since they were working for the government we kind of fudged it a little bit where he was in a super-secret tattoo removal place ten miles from South Dakota, but who knows. So we established that and it went away. It was a little bit of a wank. When I look at the other ones that we did I obviously don’t, we took a lot of those, but the momentum of the show I think accommodated that. This one for me was a little bit tough to swallow.”
