Out actor Wentworth Miller told his fans via Instagram that he will not be returning to the long gestating 3rd season of FOX’s Prison Break, adding that he’s done playing straight characters.
In the post, Miller thanked fans for his support and spoke out against bullying of the LGBTQ community. He went on to talk about the potential of a new season of Prison Break.
“I’m out. Of PB. Officially.,” He continued, “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).”
“I understand this is disappointing. I’m sorry,” he said. “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. – W.M.”
Deadline reported: “In January during TCA, Fox Entertainment president Michael Thorn said that there was a possibility of a new season of Prison Break. However, if that becomes a reality, Miller made it clear that he would not be involved.”
