The Return of the Interview

I will not even attempt to count the days/weeks/months it’s been since we got any new info about Went; I’ll just post what’s available now.

The first is a translation of bits of a Dutch interview. Thanks baaca!

The question that is on everybody’s mind: Do you like girls or do you like boys?
First: They can gossip about it all they want, I won’t respond to it anymore, not because it makes me angry but because I already have stated that I don’t like boys. Apparently a lot of people refuse to believe that. I know how the rumours got started. I’m not the kind of guy who ‘scores’ every weekend. I’m a romantic; I don’t do one night stands. And then he goes on about wanting a family and people can fantasise all the want as long as they keep watching PB – (sigh).

You’ve got two sisters, aren’t they being harassed daily by girlfriends who want to date you?
Ha ha, you should ask them. I don’t think their friends would even think of trying something, because both Gillian and Leigh are very down-to-earth just like me. Thank God they never thought about setting me up for date. Of course they like having a famous brother, but that’s it. I still get treated the same way I used too, which means that if by chance we are all together, I’m still in trouble when it comes to who is going to do the dishes.

He mentioned that he still sings…but only in the shower…(yeah, I know, Wentworth in the shower – singing…)

In PB several characters are struggling with addictions. In RL do you have any addictions?
I smoked for ten years, but quit a few month ago. I started noticing that I had to cough and my respiratory system was becoming irritated. Quitting wasn’t easy, but I’m still managing fine. I just have to concentrate on something else. My phone bill has never been so high.

Many people call you an acting talent. Is there something you can’t do?
Well according to my friends I’m a disaster in the kitchen. I don’t know if you know her, but even Susan Meyer from Desperate Housewives can cook better than me. My friends always disagree whenever I think that my spaghetti dish turned out all right.

So what have we learned? He likes pussy, he sings in the shower, he talks on the phone a lot (and yet, strangely, he still hasn’t called me), he can’t cook…Did I mention he likes pussy? That’s hot…

The second was brought to Church by brooke; Thanks!

On the set of Prison Break from Dallas Wentworth told me with excitement in his eyes that he plans to visit Israel during this Christmas holiday. Miller told me this because in our last two meetings I begged him to cancel his trip to Australia (last year), and the trip he took two years ago, and to come to Israel, but it was more important to Miller to visit his family and to do a “search himself” trip rather than to come to Israel.

This year my effort of information bears fruit because Miller is coming to Israel.

Miller tells me with excitement in his voice “I want to travel all over Israel, to visit the holy sites in Jerusalem and to meet people like me.”

It’s easy to forget that Miller is an actor and not a prisoner because he’s best known as Michael Scofield. Maybe that is the reason why he gets so many job offers to play a prisoner, a convict or head of a crime organization. That is proof to Miller that he’s buried in a type cast that he made for himself. “Most of the screenplays that I get they want me to play a roll that I don’t want to do,” he tells me in one of his breaks between shoots.

The shooting of the show is so boring, the mood on the set is totally professional, there is no room for a diva on the set. The option to act like a diva is non-existent with the actors. The shooting is exhausting, there is no time for anything else,” Miller explains to me.

The interviewer: Is it difficult to ignore all the fans that chase you?

WM: The hardest thing is to protect my image, I’m amazed how many false interviews and misleading information there is about me on the internet, my identity fabricated completely, people making up stories about me, at best it’s ridiculous; it’s sad and human at the same time. I don’t want to be a part of it. There are fans that I like to keep in touch with because they love the show, but everyone that seeks me for gossip won’t find it.

Interviewer: What do you do with the paparazzi?

WM: I don’t like it, but I ignore them. I do what my parents told me to do: Treat them with respect; sometimes the photographers make everything more difficult.

The interviewer: Are you using the advantage of your success like for free clothes?

WM: I have a problem with things that you get for free. If it’s a little thing it’s OK, but, if I go to my dressing room and it’s full with things that I got from a fashion company I have a problem with it. I have a nice salary that allows me to buy those clothes, so I feel that it is immoral. I look at my watch and I remember how much it cost me, and how many days I worked to be able to buy it so because of that it has a true value to me.

The interviewer: You go to an opening or to a club sometimes?

WM: Yes, but I do the bare necessary that’s expected of me. I think that an actor should keep a little mystery.

The interviewer: You’ve thought of a life after Prison Break?

WM: No, the show is an international hit and it’s opened a lot of doors for me but I feel that it’s too soon for me to get the lead roll; I prefer to get secondary rolls beside actors like Denzel Washington or Meryl Streep where I could learn from them.

The interviewer: But with you “missing the train”, after PB no one will pursue you!

WM: Yes, I can see the catch, but I shoot PB 10 months a year and in the 2 months that I’m not shooting I prefer to rest, and I haven’t found a script yet that is worth wasting my vacation on.

Miller doesn’t lie, his schedule is crazy; he’s got 4 assistants (one of them is writing you the thank you notes). Miller wants to see every tourist site that Israel has to offer.

So, you’re not getting offered the kinds of roles you want to do huh? Prisoner? Yeah, it’s been done, although the head of a crime organization would technically be different so you have my permission to do that one, as long as it doesn’t suck. Who are these fans you’re keeping in touch with so I can kill them?  Only fans of the show get love?  How about fans that will follow you to whatever show you happen to be doing at the time?  Oh and you do as little appearing as possible?  You don’t say…Free shit is nice, enjoy it while it lasts and I never thought you were a diva, if there’s anything you aren’t, it’s difficult.  Say what?
