Behind the scenes
- Robert Wisdom discussed how he was cast on Prison Break this year, and his feeling that he would get the role because he had a strong understanding of the character[1].
- Wisdom respects the other actors on Prison Break, and is impressed on how seriously they all take their jobs. Also, although he didn't watch it originally, when he was hired for the role of 'Lechero' he got the first two seasons on DVD, sped through them, and got hooked right away by the cat and mouse aspect of the first season and the expanded conspiracy of the second[2].
