Miller's parents wanted him to be a cop
Prison Break star Wentworth Miller disappointed his parents by becoming an actor - because they wanted him to be a cop.
The actor says his parents would try to encourage him to become a policeman, but he always knew his heart lay with acting.
He says:
"They were horrified. They'd invested all this time and money in my future, hoping to launch me into some sort of stable career.
"All my father knew was I didn't have a place to go every morning, I was sleeping in, and I didn't have a steady pay cheque.
"I would get emails from him reminding me that the LA Police Department had a volunteer programme, as a way of giving me something to do. But now, of course, they're pleased."

Wentworth Miller meets his Korean fans
Prison Break star, Wentworth Miller was in Seoul, Korea on Thursday to promote Bean Pole Jeans. Korean brand Bean Pole Jeans has hired Miller as the new model for its line of casual wear.
Cheil Industries Inc. last month said it had signed a one-year contract with Miller to be the model for Bean Pole Jeans.
Miller is not the first Hollywood star hired by Bean Pole to promote its brand. Last year, Bean Pole hired Gwyneth Paltrow and popular actor Daniel Henney for its advertising campaign.
Miller is also currently one of the models for clothing chain Gap’s "Khakis with Attitude" spring campaign in the United States, along with Kyra Sedgwick and Chris O’Donnell.

Wentworth Miller talks about MySpace and his sexuality
When Wentworth Miller says he can't be your friend, he wants you to know he means it.
The star of Prison Break has had a hard time since shooting to international stardom on the back of the popular television thriller, which hit Australian screens in 2006.
But it's not personal, the 34-year-old insists - it's just that people requesting his friendship on the popular online networking site, myspace.com, are being duped. He said:
"I have people calling my agent asking which myspace page is mine and there are about a dozen," Miller told AAP on a publicity trip to Australia in December.
"And the fact is I've never been on myspace. People posing as me is a little unsettling, a little frightening... it disturbs me on a profound level."
It's been a dizzying rise to the top for the young actor, who came into the series with just a few movie and television credits to his name.
Miller admits a small cameo role in two of Mariah Carey's music video clips "did more for my career than anything I'd done up until that point".
At that point, he had just completed the pilot for Prison Break, which was to catapult the star in the celebrity sphere - a place Miller is still coming to terms with.
"What happens to your identity, to the perception of who you are on this journey is a strange one," he said while on his first visit down under.
"There's this kind of star struck dynamic, I guess that's why they invented that word to describe that moment when a fan comes running up to you and they're so excited to see you.
"(But) inevitably there's this moment, where the shoe drops and they realise they have no idea who you are.
"I guess it's that strangeness, the identification with an actor, with a character, (and) the reality that you don't really know them at all which is kind of hard to wrap your head around."

Wentworth Miller to spend holiday season in Australia
Wentworth Miller, the star of Prison Break, will be spending the holiday season in Australia.
Miller told AAP from the Dallas set of Prison Break:
"My youngest sister is living down in Australia."
"I thought I'd kill three birds with one stone and get down to Australia.
"I can spend some time with loved ones over the holidays, visit a place I've always wanted to visit and do a little press for the show."
"My sister just came back from Uluru with tales of kangaroos and the beauty of the area and she has a number of other day trips planned," Miller said.
"She and her friends have been very good about organising road trips and helping me explore what Australia has to offer.
"Half of my fascination with Australia is it seems to have the largest concentration of deadly creatures in and out of the water."
Miller, 34, who was born in England but has lived most of his life in the US, has had to deal with plenty of slippery characters in Prison Break, which has become an international hit.
Some of the show's biggest fans are inmates who watch Prison Break in jail.
"From what I've heard there are certain prisons where they are not allowed to watch the show because the prison is worried inmates may get the wrong idea," Miller said.
"But, in other prisons I hear inmates rearrange their work details so they can be in their cells to watch our show every week.
"I've also received a lot of requests for headshots from inmates which I understand will get them a pack of smokes or two on the black market."
The first season of the show was shot in and around Chicago, but the second season has moved to Dallas where the cast and crew have been battling nature.
Miller, while shooting in swamps and bushland, has become a victim of chiggers, a parasitic mite.
If Australians see Miller relaxing on a beach over Christmas, they should not be concerned if his legs look in bad shape.
Blame the chiggers.
"Chiggers are a bug that bites you and then burrows underneath your skin and stays there," Miller explained.
"There's no way of getting them out.
"You have to buy nail polish and cover the inflamed spot with a dab of the nail polish.
"That seals the pores of your skin, which denies the chiggers oxygen.
"They suffocate, die, eventually dissolve and disperse into your bloodstream.
"I have had about 20 of them up and down my legs.
"We were shooting out in the woods and I neglected to coat my ankles in sulphur which was the only thing that keeps them at bay.
"I went home looking like a pizza from the legs down."
Miller will also be attending a cocktail Sydney Harbour cruise on December 27 to celebrate Foxtel's new long term deal with the Hollywood studio that makes Prison Break, Rupert Murdoch's 20th Century Fox.

Wentworth Miller talks about Season 2
Wentworth Miller sat down with Dish in an exclusive interview to tell us about his hiatus, international popularity, and Season Two.
After last season's filming ended, I heard you took a cross-country trip back home. How’d it go?
Just me, and a box of Munchkins from Dunkin’ Donuts riding shotgun. I stopped off in Santa Fe, which is a beautiful little city, and apparently where hippies go to die.
What did you do during your hiatus? Film any movies?
Prison Break is an international hit now, so for what it’s worth, my name is on the list or at the very bottom, of the list of actor’s whose name’s “matter”. The show has opened a lot of doors for me, but as far as my hiatus, I chose to walk through none of them, because the show is my priority, and I wanted to make sure I’d give just as much energy and enthusiasm second season, as I did first season.
Are you surprised at the show’s popularity?
What did surprise me is how powerful a medium television is. Everyone’s got TV sets. We’ve got fans all over the country. It’s a real pleasure talking to them because what they’re telling you when they say, ‘I don’t miss an episode’ is ‘I make time for you and your story and your work in my life every week’, and it’s the highest compliment.
What about your popularity?
It’s a double-edged sword. Obviously, I have a calling card that works quite well in certain situations. I was at the mall the other week and a woman came up to me, very polite, very respectful, a fan of the show. She wanted to take my picture, and she had her camera cell phone as they all do. She wanted to take the picture herself, so she kind of sidled up to me, and I put my arm around her. But [she] couldn’t take the picture because it was shaking like a maraca—she was that nervous. I could feel her vibrating next to me, and it was making me nervous. She had to ask a complete stranger to take the picture for her, and as soon as the picture was taken, as soon as she had the image in her camera, she stopped looking at me. She continued interacting with me, but she looked at the image on her camera. She said goodbye to the image on her camera. I could probably write an essay on the disconnect between perception and image and reality. It was a very strange moment to stand there and realize that someone who, five seconds ago, wanted nothing more than to come up and acknowledge you and your work, now very much wanted the experience to be over with because it was almost as though she couldn’t handle the real me standing there.
Does being popular bother you?
We were talking about this on set the other day, me and Dominic, and what we determined is that they don’t pay us to act. They pay us to act as Diplomats, and Ambassadors, and Politicians, and Publicists and all of those other things that go along with being an actor on a successful TV show.
But don’t you miss your privacy?
You don’t want to embarrass yourself, you think twice about picking your nose in public. There is a small sacrifice in terms of anonymity and privacy, but you never know what you’re going to be asked to sacrifice until it’s already been sacrificed. There’s so many pros to the job, so many perks, so many doors that have opened for me, that I really can’t complain.

Michael and Sara - Prison Break Ep 19
It appears that episode 19 that was showed on Monday is similar to the leaked version of episode 18 found on the internet. So those who had watched the leaked version might have missed out on one episode, i.e. the real episode 18 and skipped straight right to 19. Oh well. I always thought that the show was somehow more interesting when you have to wait for a week.
