Dominic Purcell appeared on some Irish talk show the other night and on it, he confirms there definitely will be a 4th season. Check it out.
"The Art of the Deal" (3.13) - TV Guide Review
Because of the then-impending writers’ strike, the show’s producers planned last fall to craft the 13th episode as a viable winter finale, with cliff-hangers, storylines that veer in new directions, the departure of at least one character and an open road for others. Says Dominic Purcell, who plays Michael’s brother, Lincoln, “There’s a resolution to certain characters, and [the episode] propels others into a longer journey.”
One such journey reaches a climax when Susan takes on a worthy adversary: Michael.
“When she comes face to face with him, she deals with Michael differently than she deals with everyone else,” O’Keefe says. “I think people are going to be very shocked by her relationship with Michael. She’s not really had to deal with anybody where she hasn’t gotten away with everything, but he’s on her level.” And Susan gets more than a little testy when things don’t go her way.
“Michael is her equal — or more so,” Purcell agrees. “Lincoln’s the volatile, instinctual, explosive guy, whereas Michael is much more inclined to use intellect to get what he wants. Susan has to play different cards with the brothers.”
While some plotlines get tied up, O’Keefe assures fans that Prison Break still has new roads to explore. “I know what Susan’s relationship with Whistler is. Let’s just say they go way back,” she teases.
Of course, that assumes Susan survives the episode. And on Prison Break, time has a way of running out.

Happy Birthday Dominic!
Dominic Purcell aka Lincoln Burrows turned 38 years old today! Happy Birthday Dominic from PBREAK.org!
It turns out February 17th is a popular day for birthdays. Michael Bay, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Paris Hilton, Denise Richards and Jerry O'Connell all turn another year older today.
In other news, Dominic is rumoured to be starring alongside Al Pacino, Piper Perabo and John Cena in a new action movie entitled "12 Rounds". The story follows detective Danny Baxter who is about to have the worst day of his life when an evil crime lord kidnaps his girlfriend and forces him to go "12 Rounds" around the streets of New Orleans.
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.
Dominic Purcell is a Liverpudlian!
Dominic Purcell was born in Liverpool before emigrating with his family to Australia at the age of two.
“I spoke with a Liverpudlian accent until I was six years old and went to school,” he said.
“And there I was mercilessly teased by my Aussie buddies, so I quickly lost the Liverpudlian thing and started to speak like an Australian.”
With his Prison Break role he had to ditch the Australian accent for an American one!
“I was speaking American all day and then I’d get home and speak Australian and I just felt so exhausted by going back and forth that I just decided to speak it all the time. Now I just speak American.”

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."

New Dominic Purcell Interview
I meant to post this earlier but got sidetracked. Anyway, here is a video from when Dominic Purcell was spending the holidays in France and being interviewed for MSN.fr.
Dom reveals in the interview that if the strike ends as soon as the end of next week (mid January) that the cast and crew would have enough time to film the rest of season 3.
I am very doubtful this could even happen. Season 3 will more than likely finish after only 13 episodes.
Dominic Purcell Dishes on Prison Break's Return and Being a Real-Life Hero
I know I posted the whole 'Dominic saved a child' story the other day but there are some other tidbits in there as well in this new Dominic Purcell interview with Kristin Dos Santos, check it out below:
Dominic Purcell saved a baby’s life.
Wentworth Miller is afraid of something.
We finally have something good again to watch on Monday nights. Boo-yah!
These are the juicy little nuggets I just scored from one Mr. Purcell himself, who rang me up today to chat about the long-awaited return of Fox’s Prison Break this Monday—just in freaking time to help cure January’s strike-induced TV blues.
Dom had just returned from an overseas trip in which, no joke, he and his real-life brother saved a baby's life while in Ireland.
Listen in to what Mr. Purcell says about that, Linc’s love life, the possibility of a spinoff and more…(Then check back in Monday’s chat for more Prison Break scoop!)
Hey! Thanks so much for calling, Dom. How were your holidays?
They were great. I went to Paris to promote Prison Break, went to London and in the meantime, I was saving babies’ lives...
Yeah, what is up with that? What happened?
My brother and I were traveling to the west coast of Ireland to surf, and we saw this lady on the side of the road screaming and freaking out. We pulled over and she was holding her baby, and her baby was blue and not breathing and choking, obviously. And my brother and I did CPR, the whole nine yards, and it survived.
That’s incredible. How do you know CPR?
I’ve got four kids. I’ve got to know that stuff. But what was really bizarre was after we brought the baby back to life we were in some stranger's house on the side of the road where we called the ambulance, and the person in the house wanted my picture and autographs...It was just bizarre. [Laughs] My brother and I are superheroes.
On screen and off, right?! Well, on behalf of all the Prison Break fans, bless you for being on a show that’s coming back on the air. We need something good to watch right now!
I know. It’s pretty bad, right?
Yeah, so what can you tell me about the five new episodes?
Expect a breakout—and you can expect the usual suspects attempting to break out with Michael. A few of them make it, and a few of them are left behind.
I’m hearing Linc might be getting some action?
Well that’s news to me because Lincoln has yet to be laid! There’s a whole lot of jesting going on but no action.
Well I’m hearing that Sofia starts pulling away from Whistler and closer to you…
Yes, that’s true. I definitely think that Linc has a soft spot for Sofia and likewise her…So, we’ll plant a few seeds as to what may happen between the two of them.
Word is you shot scenes on location in Florida, including some underwater stuff in the middle of the ocean. What was that like?
It was awesome. I loved it. And I’m gonna give you a little scoop. [Laughs] Wentworth and Bill Fichtner refused to go out there because they are scared of f--king sharks! But me and Whistler, Chris Vance, the two Australian he-men, decided we could deal with it, so we went out and we were bobbing around in the middle of the Atlantic. It was fun; the water was warm, and apart from the occasional great white that came along, it was good.
You also have a big stunt scene involving a Panamanian bus that Lincoln commandeers…Are you the new Keanu?
I shot that in Dallas. It was a normal, crazy-ass stunt where Lincoln gets hold of a bus and crashes it through a bunch of telephone polls.
There’s a rumor that the American woman who’ll visit Michael this season will be the subject of a spinoff called Cherry Hill…What do you think of that? Is a spinoff a good idea?
It depends who you talk to. If I talk to certain writers on the show, they're like, "No, there’s no such thing." And at one point they were trying to make it happen, but they couldn’t find the girl, so now Fox is done with that idea. So, it’s really up in the air.

Dominic Purcell in "Town Creek"
Here is the first still from Dominic Purcell's upcoming horror/thriller movie "Town Creek" which is set to open in 2008. The movie is about a man and his brother on a mission of revenge who become trapped in a harrowing occult experiment dating back to the Third Reich.
"Town Creek" had it's first screening in Chatsworth, CA last month and a moviegoer in attendence gave his short review on IMDB.com. Here is what he had to say on the bloody action horror:
I thought it was GREAT. A very good film. Aside from the camp fun teens vs. vamps classic the Lost Boys, I am NOT a big fan of the work of Schumacher. Nothing he has done prepared me for this. This is more like Near Dark. This is an intense, bloody, very fast paced and violent occult/vampire/action film set in the US rural midwest. The word vampire is never uttered in this film. The lead baddie is more of a monsterous ghoul. Not a sexy vampire/human, he is more like the ugly Nosferatu, but more deformed. And throw out everything you know about vampire lore - no garlic, no turning into a bat, no Christian cross. The plot concerns a Nazi effort to use the occult to gain eternal life. This movie is very fast paced. The first 9 minutes are in an enhanced black and white, set in 1936 as a Nazi historian visits a German-American family in rural America. This scene is great. When the movie jumps into modern day, it goes right into the revenge story and the action. I will leave out story and spoilers. The funny thing is, as i said, most of the 17-25 crowd did not seem to like this movie. I fear they way cut out some of the violence and gore to make it more apppealing to all the little Britney wannabes shopping at the mall. they need to realize that this movie will play to the 25-45 crowd who like serious horror films and intense action films. Acting was very good in the two lead roles, and the supports. There is a terrible part at the end that sets up a sequel, which should be cut. And the title Town Creek is utterly stupid - nothing to do with the film and sounds like a rural farm family drama. I suggest for a title "THE RUINS" or "THE BLOOD STONE" or "DARK RIVER" or "BLACK RIVER" Anything but Town Creek! Bottom line, great horror film. A horror/action film with balls and brains.

Dominic Purcell in France
Dominic Purcell has been doing some light promotion for the show in France this week. Last night he was in Paris on Marc Olivier Fogiel's television show. No big announcements during the interview were made, except for those of you who have a strong opinion about his hair style. The producers of Prison Break have decided to let him grow back his hair from January 2008 if he wants to.
I can't help but feel kinda sorry for Dom in the first video. Awkward perhaps?
Can you speak French?
Here is an older video but for some reason its only surfacing on the Internet now and as it isn't as if there is anything else much to post today so I thought I'd post this. Dom and Went try to speak French while introducing a Belgium television station. However, they aren't exactly pros at the language. Check it out.
Congratulations Dominic!
Last night, Prison Break star Dominic Purcell won the International Actor Award for Best Actor for his role as Lincoln Burrows in the hit FOX show.
