Wentworth Miller

So, I’m going to stick it to you now.  I’m looking through Went’s career in film and the next thing up is in The Confession as the prisoner named Tom in the short film in 2005.  I did find this youtube video of his role though…

This is an unusual and thought-provoking short film. Writer & director - Ash. Cast: Wentworth Miller, Josie Maran and Al Bandiero.  So, if you are still with me here, it is very apparent that Went has worked hard to get where he is.

His next appearance in film was also in 2005 was the voice of EDI in Stealth.  And, again, I am just not having any luck finding information on these particular films.  So, isntead, this shot, I’m giving you some information about him that’s just random.  Here goes…

These are just general quotes or facts about him:

A quote: “Nobody’s ever asked me to pay for a meal before I’ve eaten it, I’ve never been pulled over just because I was driving the wrong kind of car in the wrong kind of area at the wrong time of night.”

A quote: “You might look at my CV and see I’ve had 12 jobs, but I’ve been to over 450 auditions so I’ve heard ‘no’ a lot more than I’ve heard ‘yes’. So if I go in looking only to meet my own standards, then that will make taking that rejection a little bit easier. And when I do get that job it will seem like icing on the cake”

A quote:  “I made a decision not to work out because I’m lazy and also, the character is not a superhero. I didn’t want him to be a buff guy with Jackie Chan moves because the point is he’s smarter than your average Joe”

And, in my opinion, if he were big and buff, it wouldn’t be near as interesting.  The writers of Prison Break have been so doggone smart the way they’ve given Michael so much brain power.  I’ll take that any day over big buff and dumb.

And, as enamored as I (and many others) are with Wentworth, he proves with this quote that he is just as easily impressed by folks, “This has been the biggest year of my professional life. I get to “play ball” with incredible character actors. When you’re sharing screen time with Robert Knepper, Wade Williams, or Peter Stormare, you’re just along for the ride. I remember watching Law & Order and thinking that Sam Waterston served up amazing work episode after episode. I told my representation to forget about feature films–if I can get a series, how satisfying will that be? You’re working with people you admire, and you’re on every week being appreciated. It’s like winning the lottery. One in a million”

And, now, my favorite part…it’s photo time…..

Ok, so I skipped around at the beginning for some reason and didn’t tell you about Wentworth’s role in The Time of Your Life where he appeared in Season One, episode Six, “The Time the Truth Was Told” and I really can’t find a lot of information about that role. Maybe that’s why I skipped it, but I don’t really want to skip anything, so I’m including it now.

That was in 2000 when he also played a small role as Mike Palmieri in Season seven, episode one: “Homecoming” of ER. And, again, I can’t find a too much information about this role either. I did however find this video of his role.

Then, after that, I can find minimal information on his role as Server #1 in a short film known as Room 302 . It seems that if you dig deep enough, you come to realize that Wentworth didn’t get his career easily. He had to take the really low on the totem pole roles to get where he is and the fact that at one time he was merely an assistant to the folks he later auditioned in front of tells you that he was not against working hard to get what he wanted.

It’s no secret that Prison Break has been the break-out role for him, but there’s so many other places that he can be found. And, I’m going to keep telling you about them. So, for now…how about this sexy hunk of a picture…

Ok, so you all know I had big plans for this blog and then, just as I was getting into really good, life happened.  And, I’ve been put to a complete stall on making this blog work like it should.  So, I’m planning now to give it my best shot at making it the place it ought to be.  Wentworth deserves so much more than what I’ve been able to provide for him here.  So, bear with me, as I review where we’ve been.

I did briefly discuss his genetics, you know, not many people can say that they are of an African American, Jamaican, German, English, Jewish, Russian, French, Dutch, Lebanese and Syrian background.  So, that’s a biggiee.  And, after that, I got with you about some quotes from the gorgeous hunk of a man.  From there we got started on his upbringing and early career.  We started with Buffy, the Vampire Slayer and his involvement with the Tigertones at Princeton.

We discussed his appearance in the Hallmark Series Dinatopia and then the Underworld and finally I think I basically left off at Joan of Arcadia.  I lazily slipped in some photos of the gorgeous hunk of a man, which I can’t say is a bad thing, but not how I had this all planned, and I even wrote a post about how this was not how I had planned to handle this.

But, here you go, I’ve written another one and I’m serious this time.  New Year, new stuff happening and time shouldn’t be such a big deal.  So, I’m sharing a photo and my next entry should get us moving right along…

Ok, so it’s almost 2 weeks since the last episode aired and I am re-watching it now.  I was sick when I saw it the first time, and I want to refresh my memory.  But, the fact of the matter is, I surely hope that this is not the end of the run.  I know, it’s difficult to call it Prison Break when they’ve already broken out of two Prisons.  So, what happens next?

Maybe it could be like Grey’s Anatomy and they could make a spin-off on it like they did Private Practice.  I actually don’t care if they continue to call it Prison Break, I happen to be in love Wentworth and I don’t care one bit what they call it.

With that, I’m giving you my round of Wentworth Miller photo’s and I’ll go back to working from the beginning where I was ….

Ok, my plan was to move through Wentworth’s professional career in the order in which he appeared by years.  However, I must skip for this once, all the way to his career as it is right now, December 2008.   You see, I’m no dummy and I know that this is the last season of Prison Break.  Secondly, I’ve already spoilers that he dies some how.

But, even knowing that…I was totally pissed tonight when the writers let him lose it, get sick, get hurt, and now be in a situation where it is obvious they are going to let him die.  I just don’t like it.  I want to see him on primetime for a long time and chances are he will move on to something else and won’t be in the public eye near as much as he has been in Prison Break.

Anyway, because I was hacked off, I skipped all the way to December 2008.  I’ll do my best to go back where I left off, but not today.  Today I’m busy being pissed about how this show is going to end.  The onlyl thing to make me feel better?  Photos of Wentworth himself…..yea nom nom nom

A little trip down memory lane…..the early Prison Break photos…

I’ve been swamped, but I didn’t want anyone to think that I had abandoned the place, so a few sweet photos of a sweet hunky man and I promise, next week, I’ll get it back in gear.

Oh and one more thing…

You must be at least a Guest Member to join and enter the second give-a-way here, but it can’t hurt can it?

Since we are all about Wentworth, how do this strike some of ou?

Well, I could find very litle about his charracter on this show as well and I tend to think because they weren’t great big Prison Break like roles.  Either way, if you decide to go in search of the exact episode, I can give you that.  It was entitled “Something Wicked Comes This Way”.  He played Ryan Hunter alongside Michael Budalucco.

And, just in case you can’t get enough, here’s another video from Joan of Arcadia.

I’m not going to pretend I know anything about this one either.  I do know that in this movie, he played Dr. Adam Lockwood and every time I find a new movie or show that he has been in, I find myself thinking, hey, we need to check that out sometime soon.  I did find this photo and for those of you who follow Prison Break closely like I do, I doubt you would have a clue who this guy was looking like this, I mean, I would have been clueless.

There’s an online poll here where people discuss whether they knew it was Went and if so would they see the movie now if they had not seen it before.  I have to say I don’t much like his looks in that movie but he is a great actor and I don’t even like movies but I would see it, just for him.
