Robert Knepper is back as T-Bag in FOX’s new edition of Prison Break but he wants fans to know that this isn’t just a revival of the series.
Did he ever think that Prison Break was going to be revived?
“No,” he told us. “I have to say I’m a little weary of these reboots. I’m not even calling it a reboot, I’m calling it a rebirth.
“I’m sure I’m not the only one, but [series creator Paul Scheuring] and I had a good talk about it, and I was like don’t start it up where it left off. Things have changed in six years. I’ve changed. My character’s gone through some epiphanies in jail so I’m sure the other guys and women have had the same thing happen to them.
“This rebirth of nine episodes, it’s like the first season. It’s a surprise and then another surprise and another surprise as each episode ends. You’re going to be sitting there like the first season, going no, come on, tell me. Tell me what happens. And I’m like nope, wait ’til next week.”
