Who is Wentworth Miller - Beyond Prison Break

Went is playing the part of Chris Redfield, Claire's brother in the new Residential Evil: Afterlife. He's been locked up in a prison in LA, where he was left for dead by the inmates . . . and survivors haven't let him out for fear that he's a killer. You know, because a murderer is the LAST thing you want on your side when you're facing a gazillion zombies! For Wentworth fans, as well as zombie/RE fans, this is a pretty decent movie.

Odds and ends gleaned from the internets.

1. He was called Stinky by friends when he studied at the university, not because he smelled bad but because his attitude was terrible.

2. He goes by Went among friends . . . definitely less of a mouthful than his full name, Wentworth Earl Miller III.

3. Wentworth slouches at interviews. I`m not sure if he knows this, but I noticed it when watching some interviews on YouTube. Could it be because he`s so tall? (6' 1")

4. His favorite features are his eyes and I suspect that's the fave for many fans, too!

5. A favorite pastime of the Prison Break actor is napping. He also likes swimming, reading and playing Scrabble . . . that doesn`t sound much like the typical Hollywood party animal, does it?

Wentworth`s character in Prison Break sported a full sleeve tattoo and while it wasn`t real, he still gets women coming up to him in the street asking him to take off his shirt so they can see it. If you`ve ever wondered about that seriously awesome body art, here`s everything you need to know.

Why the Prison Break Tattoo?

Wentworth`s character is breaking his brother out of prison (or he was in the first season) and has the blueprints of the prison, as well as a ton of other necessary escape information, hidden in a tattoo that covers his entire torso and both arms.

Throughout the series, Michael Scofield would refer to his tattoo for instructions and diagrams, even once they had escaped the prison. For example, a fan of cards on his arm reveal the phone number of the immigrant he married before going to prison, a coffin marks where he sealed a special pill beneath his skin and the devil`s face is later traced and projected onto a wall to show where to drill holes. Each section of the plan is marked with a letter of the Greek alphabet to determine which order they should be in.

Who Designed It?

The tattoo was designed by Tom Berg (who also did the tattoo design for Red Dragon) and created by Tinsley Transfers. Throughout the show, the tattoo changed as new episodes were written and new "secrets" needed to be hidden.

How Do They Put It On?

The Prison Break tattoo was put on following a number of steps.

First, the area was cleaned with rubbing alcohol to prepare it for application. It comes in a number of pieces (numbers range from 15-25 pieces) that are fitted together like a puzzle and applied to Wentworth`s body. After this, a sealant and glue were put on to make sure the tattoo stayed in place, then filler lines were painted to hide the gaps caused by the separate pieces.

To do the full tattoo, it took about 4-5 hours, but would last for up to 2 weeks. At that point, it would be quite worn, but still had to be removed with solvents. It took around 45 minutes to remove the fake tattoo.

What Did Wentworth Think of It?

He claimed it was like being wrapped in Saran Wrap on a hot day! Not to mention, it made him sticky . . . he says he would stick to the sheets at night. However, he also thought it was fun to become someone who was 50% tattooed, considering the fact that he`s not into that kind of body art.
