Amaury Nolasco Update!

Amaury Nolasco has come a long way since he played the minor character “Orange Julius” in 2003’s 2 Fast 2 Furious. In a recent interview with IGN Movies, Amaury talked about how his role as Sucre has helped him develop as an actor and has opened up new doors to the big screen.

Amaury has played small roles in both Transformers and The Benchwarmers, but he’s currently working on the action flick Armored where he holds his own amidst a star-studded cast.

And prior to this work, Amaury worked on the drama/thriller Street Kings with Keanu Reeves, Forest Whitaker and House Hugh Laurie. In the film, Aaury plays a cop surrounded by corruption.

“When I did Street Kings , I needed to find a justification for cops to be corrupt,” Amaury said. “It’s about choice. So, am I a bad guy? To label he’s a bad guy [or] he’s a good guy… I don’t know. He’s a confused guy.”

Amaury said he anticipates a prompt return to work on Prison Break once Armored wraps production in late spring.

Nolasco: "From what I hear, we are going back in May"

While visiting the set of Nimrod Antal's upcoming heist thriller Armored, we got a chance to talk with one of its stars, Amaury Nolasco. He plays Fernando Sucre on the popular Fox drama Prison Break. With the writers' strike finally over, it looks like production on the long-in-hiatus program might be revving back to life. We chatted a little bit about the show with Amaury. This is what he had to say:

When are you heading back?

Amaury Nolasco: From what I hear, we are going back in May. I don't know if you saw the cliffhanger. I'm back in prison. Its going to be pretty exciting. My girl is still pregnant. It's the longest pregnancy in TV history. People forget that with our time line, it has only been two weeks. The whole series, since season one, has been three months. If you think about it, she still has six more months to be pregnant. Fernando is the ultimate friend. I am very proud of this character. It is a beautiful relationship that he has with Michael. That is very rare nowadays. That you would take the plunge for your boy. Not only that, the third season had a whole new experience because there was a relationship with me and Lincoln. It was built up there. It's one of those shows. I know people keep asking, "How many more times can you go back to prison?" I don't know what is going to happen. I don't know what is going on in the mind of the writers. I don't think we will be going back too many more times. I don't know. But the writing is so good that as an actor, I just get out of the way. I let the writers speak.

Do you know how everything is going to come together with this new season?

Amaury Nolasco: I don't like to know what is going to happen. I like to read as they go, script wise. I know that T-Bag is still inside. And so is Bellick. There is definitely going to be a relationship there, going on. I don't like to know what is going to happen. I take it script-by-script and let it develop.

Prison Break Super Bowl Commercial

Here is a hilarious video of Robert Knepper, Dominic Purcell and Amaury Nolasco in the new Super Bowl Commercial for Prison Break. Check it out.

Amaury Nolasco: "Sucre ends up as a prisoner in Sona"

Amaury Nolasco recently revealed to Prison Break Magazine that his character, Fernando Sucre, will end up behind bars in Sona sometime before the season 3 finale (February 18th). He said: "Sona is still going to remain a very important part of the show. Sucre ends up as a prisoner in Sona. Something inside is going to prove very important to Michael and Lincoln completing their mission. Once again they are going to have to rely on their friend Mr. Fernando Sucre."

This leads to my question, if there is no season 4, is Sona the last place we will see Sucre?

Amaury 'Gets Away' With His iPod

Here is a neat vid of Amaury Nolasco aka Fernando Sucre telling us what he gets up to between takes. Not a lot it would seem, except from listening to his iPod constantly. Check it out.

The. Secrets. Are. Revealed.

TVGuide just posted this on their website. The article contains some spoilers for the rest of the season. I highlighted the main parts. Make sure you read it!

Even by Prison Break (Mondays, 8 pm/ET, Fox) standards, the plot twist that brought the fall mini-season to a close in November was a stunner. The seemingly saintly Whistler (Chris Vance), whom Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) had been trying to free from jail since the start of the season, appeared to be in cahoots with mysterious villain Susan (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe). The Whistler bombshell, coupled with the shortage of new programming due to the writers' strike, makes Prison Break's Jan. 14 return all the more enticing. A five-episode run (possibly more if the strike is resolved soon) will give audiences their escapist fix well into February sweeps.

Amaury Nolasco, who plays the loyal Sucre, says this season has offered an entirely different dynamic for him. "I'd never had more than two lines with [Dominic Purcell] the first season," he says. "This year, it's like we have a whole Danny Glover and Mel Gibson thing going on. With Wentworth, I used to say it was like The Odd Couple. With Dom, it's more like Starsky and Hutch." Just a more menacing version: Linc and Sucre plan what Nolasco calls an "explosive" end to Susan.

A lot happens in the next five episodes. Producers insist that, unlike Season 1, viewers won't have to wait until May for the inmates to escape: There will be a breakout from Sona, the treacherous Panamanian penitentiary — and not everyone will get out alive. Plus, the morally compromised Michael crosses a line when he purposely takes someone's life.

"Nobody's indispensable. I wouldn't be surprised if they killed off me or Wentworth or Dominic one day," Nolasco teases. "I open the script every week and wonder whether Sucre's still alive."

Even with a successful escape, Sona will con­tinue to be a key setting, with new inmates calling the lawless fortress home. "Once they break out, there are some main characters left behind in Sona," Purcell says. "There are some pretty big shocks. But the stuff in Sona has been highly entertaining and fun to watch, so [the pro­ducers] want to keep that alive."

While Prison Break has mostly avoided romance for two seasons, as clues to Whistler's past come to light, Lincoln and Sofia (Danay Garcia) will be drawn closer — which Purcell hopes might lead to a much-needed release.

"There is the smoldering possibility of Lincoln finally getting laid," he says. "Linc has been in prison and then on the road, and he's not so much as looked at a chick. I've talked to the writers about it, and they say they're gonna get to it."

The season "keeps getting better and better," promises Robert Knepper, whose Machiavellian T-Bag has taken a low-key approach so far this season. That, however, will change as well.

"In the last few moments of the [Feb. 18] episode you'll be saying, 'He's baaack!'" Knepper notes. "It's quite a ride to get there."

The episode, he adds, "has an incredible cliff­-hanger. But as much as people say they want to know what happens, they don't really because they want to watch it."

But Nolasco has a more practical reason for keep­ing mum: "I wish I could tell you about it, but then they would kill me off."

Happy Birthday Amaury!

Amaury Nolasco aka Fernando Sucre turns 37 years old today! Happy Birthday Amaury from PBREAK.org!

Catching Up With Amaury Nolasco!

Here is an interview with Amaury Nolasco aka Sucre taken from my copy of Prison Break magazine. The interview is published in Issue #6 (US) and Issue #5 (UK). This interview was completed between the Season 2 and Season 3 hiatus. Check it out:

Amaury Nolasco has been a busy guy - he was working on the Transformers movie at the same time as filming Prison Break Season 2. However, he pauses to talk with us about good ol' Fernando Sucre. . .

Prison Break Magazine: Are you familiar with Prison Break magazine?
Amaury Nolasco: Oh, yes! I just read Issue 2, which is the one with my interview.

How was working in Dallas? I heard you say you were packing up your stuff to come back to LA. . .
I am going to miss it. I had a great time - that last year has gone fast, I have to say. We were having a good time - the fact that we were spread out and everybody was doing their own thing - we didn't get to work together much, so it went pretty fast and I'm going to miss that.

Have you been allowed to improvise much of Sucre's dialogue?
I kept cursing in Spanish and then they said, "No more." (Laughs)

Was the scene where Sucre is trapped under the log in the river (Season 2)one of the toughest things you've had to do so far?
I have to say, the day we shot that, it wasn't bad, because the weather was great and the water was cold, but then I had to do some reshoots on that and it was in a cold pool. So that's up there with the toughest things I've had to do. When we did the last episode of Season 1, it was freezing cold in Chicago. I'm from Puerto Rico, so anything below 70 degrees is cold for me. . .

So you're glad they relocated to Texas?
Exactly. (Laughs)

How did working on Transformers compare, physically, to working on Prison Break?
That was more grueling that anything. Two, three, four weeks of just running every single day, with combat boots, with all this gear on top of you - that was just really exhausting.

Was doing Prison Break good preperation for that?
Oh, absolutely (laughs). It was definitely boot camp.

What do you like best about the audience response to Prison Break?
You know what? I love that people come up with their own theories about Prison Break. Everybody thinks they know where the show is going. And it just thrills me, because everybody's got their own clues and they're great ideas, but [the writers] are doing a phenomenal job. I had a director tell me once, "There's nothing better than a dead writer" [because they don't object to changes]. Not in this case - I can't speak well enough about our writers. For an actor, writing is the key. And it's a roller-coaster. They take you up and down and the audience hasn't a clue [what's coming next].
