Golden Globe-nominee Wentworth Miller (shown right), the 37-year-old actor who became an overnight sensation and instant sex symbol for portraying the clever and hunky Michael Scofield, gives his last performance of the series in Prison Break: The Final Break. Required to keep most of the two-hour film’s storylines and plot twists close to the vest, Miller (a British-born, Brooklyn native) chooses to reminisce about the four seasons he spent playing Michael Scofield on the hit series.
In this interview with Earl Dittman, the personable and witty Miller (a Princeton grad and a veteran of Buffy, The Vampire Slayer) recalls some of the stranger fan encounters he experienced over the years as Michael, reveals how many packs of cigarettes a prisoner can get for a 8 X 10 of him, why he tries not to pick his nose in public and if being the series’ leading man helped him out with ladies at all. Plus this week’s DVDs and Blu-rays, all after the jump.

With the first episode of Season Two premiering this week, there’s just enough time for fans of Leverage (the action-filled hit series about a Robin Hood-like team of professional thieves and con artists that devise elaborate schemes to steal from the corrupt rich in order to give millions of dollars they recover back to the bad guys’ victims) to catch up on the do-good crew’s swindling, double-crossing antics and cons from Season One.
On the eve of Season Two, Timothy Hutton talks with Earl Dittman about what he believes made Season One successful. He also explains why an Oscar-winning actor like himself doesn’t mind working on the small screen, confesses if he ever wanted to take revenge on someone in his personal life, and reveals what Leverage aficionados can expect from the upcoming season. Plus: this week’s DVDs and Blu-rays after the jump.

In this chat with Earl Dittman, Panettiere describes experiencing high school for the first time, sheds light on the future of her character on Heroes, and explains why everything you’ve heard about her probably isn’t true.
