Wentworth Miller Thinks Prison Break Will Soon Be Done

Wentworth Miller, star of Fox’s Prison Break, recently commented to MovieWeb.com that he feels the show is on its last legs. Here’s a quote pulled from the interview:
“I do feel as though we may be on one of our final laps around the track. It is something that weighs on my mind from time-to-time. Telling a story correctly necessitates knowing when to end it. At this point in the series, Michael and Lincoln, between them, have intentionally or unintentionally killed so many people and yet, they’re still running around with T-Bag. … Eventually, you have to wonder when is enough enough because it really makes my character look bad. These are the questions that I think eventually we have to answer or else suffer a fall off in terms of believability and quality.”
The interviewer eventually asks the “jump the shark” question to which Miller replied:
“I think we not only jumped the shark long ago, I think we’re inventing new sharks. We’re taking it to a whole new level. Fasten your seatbelts.”
Say what you will about the show but it’s refreshing to have a star speak so candidly about ending the series. I’ll be watching until the end.
