Title: Why Wentworth Miller is Done with Prison Break – What’s Next for the Star?
Wentworth Miller Opens Up About Leaving ‘Prison Break’
Personal Growth and Revelation
Despite Dominic Purcell pushing for more “Prison Break” and rumors of a reboot coming to Hulu, Miller, like several actors who have sworn to never return to iconic roles, appears completely done with playing Michael Schofield. The actor has made significant strides in his personal and public life, coming out as gay in 2013 and revealing he is autistic in 2021, leading him to make major decisions about his career and what he wants to do going forward.
Miller’s Official Departure from ‘Prison Break’
In a now-deleted 2020 Instagram post, Miller wrote he was done with “Prison Break” and playing straight roles: “I’m out. Of PB. Officially,” Miller shared. “Not [because] of static on social media (although that has centered the issue). I just don’t want to play straight characters. Their stories have been told (and told). So. No more Michael. If you were a fan of the show, hoping for additional seasons… I understand this is disappointing. I’m sorry. If you’re hot and bothered [because] you fell in love with a fictional straight man played by a real gay one… That’s your work.”
What’s Next for Wentworth Miller?
Ultimately, with “Prison Break” and “The Flash” over, Miller continues to keep his private life hidden from the public. His last acting credit came in 2021 in “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow,” so it remains to be seen what’s next for the actor. But hopefully, he’s found happiness and peace in his life.
