Petition Seeks Top Sentence for Garrison
A petition bearing 3,600 signatures asking a judge to sentence Prison Break actor Lane Garrison to prison for nearly seven years for killing a teenager in a drunken driving crash was refused by a Superior Court bailiff Wednesday in Beverly Hills.
Friends and classmates of the dead teen gathered signatures after school, at football games, in front of stores and by going door to door, Lee said.
A bailiff explained the petition could not be accepted in court, but it would be accepted at the hearing if it was submitted through the district attorney's office, said James Lee, a spokesman for the teen's family.
The Los Angeles County district attorney's office had not received the petition Tuesday but spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said it was not unusual for prosecutors to submit such private communications.
"Generally, if people have letters for the judge, they many, many times submit it to the prosecutor and the prosecutor presents it to the court," she said.
"Obviously, there's a sense that people want closure and they want justice and they want an appropriate punishment," Lee said. "We're talking about the loss of a life, here."
Garrison, 27, was driving a 2001 Land Rover on Dec. 2 when he lost control and rammed a tree. The crash killed his passenger Vahagn Setian, a Beverly Hills High School student. Two 15-year-old girls in the car survived.
UPDATE: Lane Garrison was sentenced to 3+ years in jail, Wednesday, October 31st. The judge also ordered Garrison to pay $300,000 in restitution to the victims and their families.

Wentworth Miller Loves Doing His Own Stunts!
It would seem Wentworth Miller loves doing his own stunts in Prison Break, according to a British paper! Check out what he had to say on the topic below:
Source: This Is Nottingham“In the average movie, there’s maybe one car chase or one gun battle,” he told National Enquirer.
“But in our show, we have those things every week. I’ve been choked, fought to the death with knives and shanks, and every other weapon you can imagine. It’s very challenging, but I do a lot of my own stunts, and there are a lot.”
Prison Break Season 2 - DVD Extras
Here is a video which compiles commentaries from the directors, producers, writers, and actors of Prison Break who discuss the differences between filming in Chicago and Dallas. The video is taken from the Prison Break Season 2 DVD Extras which is out now!
New Wade Williams Blog Update!
Splash, right back into the breach as we dive into the worst possible prison: Sona. The sick, twisted writers once again have conjured a fantastically frigged-up storyline that will rocket us through what so far is a wicked Season 3. I think this year may be our best season yet.
Yet again it is proved true that no character is sacred on this show, except for, of course, Michael and Lincoln. Bellick's still alive... and I still got a job!
So far the themes for Bellick in Season 3 have been "tighty-whities" and Tiger pants. I spent a month walking around set in my grunds... covered with dirt and dried movie blood, sweating my bare ass off in the 105-degree Texas sun. Then the writers put me in MC Hammer tiger pants with a nasty short T-shirt. If I hear one more, "They're gr-r-rreat!" or tiger growl, I'm gonna go postal.
The whole tighty-whitey thing was the writer's riff on an idea I had in the last episode of Season 2. There is a scene where Michael is walking down the hallway in Sona seeing what a dreadful place he's landed in and he sees Bellick lying on the floor beaten to a pulp, stripped almost naked. It was originally written that Bellick was on the floor beaten up, never mentioned that he was stripped down to his grunds.
That's when I had the brilliant idea: Why don't we strip Bellick naked and add makeup like he's been almost beaten to death? That'll show what a truly horrible place Michael and the cast have landed in. Kevin Hooks, the director of Episode 222, "Sona," said, "Good idea. But you can't be naked, you gotta wear something." So the wardrobe department whipped me up a nasty pair of tighty-whities. Little did I know I'd spend the next two episodes (it took a whole month to shoot them) wearing nothing but Fruit of the Looms, covered with dirt and blood, shoeless, hobbling around in the hundred-degree heat. It took two hours in the makeup chair every day to get me ready. (That's nothing compared with the four hours it takes them to do Wentworth's tattoo.)
Again it's been a battle here in Texas with the heat, and two of the sets for Sona are exterior sets and both are like working in a convection oven. One day we were shooting a scene where the military guards of Sona have entered the courtyard and all of us prisoners, including Michael, all the other incarcerated characters, and the extras, had to kneel on the clay with our hands behind our heads while this huge scene was shot. It took 10 hours to shoot. Six people went to the hospital with heatstroke. I was drinking water and finding shade every chance I could. It took me three or four days to get over the dehydration. Brutal.
I think we have some great new characters this season and a fascinating new story with Sona, the plans to escape, the ticking clock, the mysterious Whistler and the commanding Lechero. What's gonna happen? I wish I knew. I've been having a great time telling Bellick's twisted storyline. I love the dark, weird stuff the writers have written for Bellick so far this season.
I'd like to make this blog thing a little more interactive, so if you have any questions, put them in a comment and I'll do my best to answer a few each time.
It's good to be back and good to be Bellick!

Sneak Peek: "Photo Finish" (3.06)
Here is yet another sneak peek from the upcoming 2 hour episode special of Prison Break which airs in the US on November 5th and in the UK the week after. In this clip, Michael inisits on having pictures of Sara from Lincoln. However Lincoln cannot get them. Michael asks how he can trust Susan B and says if he doesn’t have the pictures by 2:30pm, he’s not going anywhere.
Fox adding 'Prison' time for Olmstead
"Prison Break" exec producer Matt Olmstead has been sentenced to another two years of hard labor at 20th Century Fox TV, where the scribe has renewed his overall deal.
Under the new two-year pact (with the option for a third), Olmstead will continue to act as showrunner on "Prison Break." At the same time, he's also developing a "Prison Break" spinoff, although it's only in the script stage; pact also includes other development down the line.
Olmstead first came to the attention of 20th Century Fox TV via Steven Bochco Prods., where the scribe exec produced "NYPD Blue" and co-created "Blind Justice." Bochco introduced Olmstead to 20th Century Fox TV chair Dana Walden, who recruited the scribe to join the studio.
"Matt, along with Paul Scheuring, has done a phenomenal job in running an incredibly difficult show," Walden said. "The show is produced in Dallas, it was produced in Chicago, they're based in L.A. The storytelling is complicated and detailed, yet they manage to maintain an emotional core to these characters.
"He's a problem solver, and a pleasure to work with," she added.
Olmstead called 20th "a pretty damn good place to work."
"A lot of times people leave hit shows to create other shows," he said. "But my whole thing is, am I creatively happy working with the people around me? Am I supported by the studio and network? That all is happening here."
Olmstead said "Prison Break" is enough of a well-oiled machine that he'll be able to focus some of his attention on the "Prison Break" spinoff in the coming months. He's currently casting the lead, Molly, who will show up later this season on "Prison Break."
"There are a lot of people here in place to move up and help out," Olmstead said of the "Prison Break" staff. "If I was struggling on the show, I wouldn't have done it. But so many people here are carrying their own weight. I'm feeling great about it."
The "Prison Break" team are currently putting the finishing touches on the show's mid-year cliffhanger -- as the show will give way to "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" for several months. Coincidentally, that cliffhanger could double as a shortened-season cliffhanger should a strike prematurely put a halt to things this year.
Olmstead's credits also include Bochco's "Brooklyn South."

New Wentworth Miller Interview
Wentworth Miller recaps on the previous seasons of Prison Break and spills on whats to come this season!
Prison Break Bad Girl's Secrets Are Revealed!
Prison Break bitch (and hottie) Jodi Lyn O'Keefe just did a really intriguing Q&A with TVGuide about her character among many other things. Below you can check out the entire interview:
Tiffani Thiessen! I knew it!TVGuide.com: I was a bit nervous readying to talk to you, but Dominic Purcell assured me you're not nearly as fierce as Susan B.
Jodi Lyn O'Keefe: No, I'm not at all. I'm actually a pretty big pushover.
TVGuide.com: How familiar were you with Prison Break before joining the series?
O'Keefe: I was a huge fan so it's pretty unnerving to be a cast member now.
TVGuide.com: Especially since this show doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to female characters and love interests.
O'Keefe: [Laughs] See, thankfully I'm not a love interest.
TVGuide.com: Yet.
O'Keefe: Yet! And Prison Break doesn't have a really good track record for its bad guys either, so.... When you look at it.... [Laughs]
TVGuide.com: Why do I get the feeling that Susan B. isn't an entirely willing part of The Company? That maybe she herself is being compelled into servitude?
O'Keefe: I think you're on the right track. Susan's not as bad as everyone makes her out to be. She has some reasons for doing what she does, and were finding out a lot more about her. Coming up there will be some flashbacks showing that Susan was a prisoner of war and she was raped and tortured, so she feels there isn't a place left for her in society anymore.
TVGuide.com: Yeah, it would take something dark to send her into this line of work.
O'Keefe: That's exactly what happened. There's more motivating her than what we've seen.
TVGuide.com: Dominic reiterated his want for some action, a horizontal hookup for Linc....
O'Keefe: [Laughs]
TVGuide.com: Might Susan B. warm up a bit and fill the bill?
O'Keefe: I don't know about that. I haven't been told that yet. I think it may have to be someone else to give Dom some action.
TVGuide.com: I half suspected that her comment about him banging her on the bar was an invitation.
O'Keefe: Well, she sort of talks to all the boys that way. You'll see that coming up. That's just her style.
TVGuide.com: You seem pretty confident wielding a gun. Is that thanks to your Nash Bridges days?
O'Keefe: That's thanks to Nash Bridges and my days on The Evidence. For some reason everyone keeps giving me a gun!
TVGuide.com: Will Prison Break give you the opportunity to display your kickboxing skills?
O'Keefe: Oh, gosh. It's been so many years..... But yeah, I do have some stunt work coming up and I do beat up some people.
TVGuide.com: What can you tease about the fall finale airing in mid-December?
O'Keefe: Oh, so much happens. I can't give it away, but I will tell you that our action sequences are absolutely incredible. We have a helicopter pilot who does things with a chopper that I have never seen before in my life.
TVGuide.com: What's one of the biggest stunts you've ever tackled yourself?
O'Keefe: I jumped off of the roof of a police car and knocked somebody down. That was for a movie I did a million years ago. They let me do my own stunt work, so I said, "Yeah!" It went pretty well.
TVGuide.com: Are you a fan at all of the spoof Not Another Teen Movie, having starred in She's All That?
O'Keefe: I am, I absolutely am. I make fun of myself all the time so anytime they want to spoof any movie I've been a part of, that's great.
TVGuide.com: Who are you most often mistaken for?
O'Keefe: Tiffani Thiessen and Yasmine Bleeth. I get their fan mail sometimes!
TVGuide.com: You and Yasmine both have these "otherworldly" eyes....
O'Keefe: Thank you, oh my gosh! They're blue, just like my mother's.
TVGuide.com: What's the craziest thing you've ever had to do for a lad mag photo shoot?
O'Keefe: The craziest thing for me is just showing a little bit of skin. I did a Maxim cover once and let's just say it wasn't my father's favorite picture. My mother asked me if I was trying to kill him. [Laughs] I wasn't naked but... You know, I'm the "baby" of the family.
TVGuide.com: Which of your previous TV series got the shortest shrift?
O'Keefe: That would have to be The Evidence. We jumped from Episode 3 to 8 and then we were off the air.
TVGuide.com: : Do you think that in a way it was before its time?
O'Keefe: Yeah, I do. It was such an amazing cast and I got to work with Martin Landau in this lifetime, which is incredible, an Orlando Jones and Rob Estes. I thought for sure it would stick around for a little.
TVGuide.com: When's the last time you played a nice girl?
O'Keefe: I don't remember! [Laughs] I was good on Nash Bridges!
TVGuide.com: Yeah, but you were like 10 years old back then.
O'Keefe: Yeah, 10 or 12... or 16.
TVGuide.com: What sort of TV do you like?
O'Keefe: I really like Comedy Central. I watch The Colbert Report and Jon Stewart....
TVGuide.com: Would you vote for Colbert for president?
O'Keefe: Immediately, of course! Sign me up for campaign manager!

Sneak Peek: "Photo Finish" (3.06) / "Vamanos" (3.07)

Susan B. Anthony's Fate
As you may well know, according to SpoilerFix, Susan B. is shot by a new character named Molly in "Boxed In" (3.09). Below you can read the spoiler:
Michael meets a woman named Molly, who says she saw the video Michael and Lincoln made about The Company. She claims that her husband and daughter were killed and while going through his papers, she found references to The Company. Molly later holds a gun on Susan, a member of the The Company and who Molly suspects killed her family. When Susan admits to the crime, Molly pulls the trigger.
Would they seriously kill off another character at this stage? Really? If the spoiler is indeed authentic, then I can only hope Susan B. fights death and is back on her feet within episodes.
Also, I feel like im the minority when I say this but Susan B. is the only new character I have taken a liking to this season. The writers will be making a massive mistake in killing off another character, a female one at that. Maybe I'm reading too much into this. If anyone has any further information or their own theories on Susan B's fate, holla!

Nick Santora: "SWC is and always was, a professional"
Below Prison Break writer Nick Santora talks more about Sarah's departure from the show, blah blah blah:
Source: PBreakFansThis is actually important to me. I’ve received many emails lately about Sara Callies and how people are surmising that she was “fired” from the show. I just want to stress that Sara Callies is, and always was, a professional. She was not in any way “fired” and the suggestions and posts from some people that she “did something” to cause her departure just is not true. Sara is so incredibly talented, was such a pleasure to work with and is an asset on any film or television production that is lucky enough to have her. She isn’t on the show because a contractual agreement couldn’t be reached between her and the studio. Happens all the time in the entertainment biz and in other professions too. But to suggest, as some have, that it was something else is irresponsible. So please, those of you who have floated those absurd theories, don’t do it any more. They are plain wrong.

Catching Up With Amaury Nolasco!
Here is an interview with Amaury Nolasco aka Sucre taken from my copy of Prison Break magazine. The interview is published in Issue #6 (US) and Issue #5 (UK). This interview was completed between the Season 2 and Season 3 hiatus. Check it out:
Amaury Nolasco has been a busy guy - he was working on the Transformers movie at the same time as filming Prison Break Season 2. However, he pauses to talk with us about good ol' Fernando Sucre. . .
Prison Break Magazine: Are you familiar with Prison Break magazine?
Amaury Nolasco: Oh, yes! I just read Issue 2, which is the one with my interview.
How was working in Dallas? I heard you say you were packing up your stuff to come back to LA. . .
I am going to miss it. I had a great time - that last year has gone fast, I have to say. We were having a good time - the fact that we were spread out and everybody was doing their own thing - we didn't get to work together much, so it went pretty fast and I'm going to miss that.
Have you been allowed to improvise much of Sucre's dialogue?
I kept cursing in Spanish and then they said, "No more." (Laughs)
Was the scene where Sucre is trapped under the log in the river (Season 2)one of the toughest things you've had to do so far?
I have to say, the day we shot that, it wasn't bad, because the weather was great and the water was cold, but then I had to do some reshoots on that and it was in a cold pool. So that's up there with the toughest things I've had to do. When we did the last episode of Season 1, it was freezing cold in Chicago. I'm from Puerto Rico, so anything below 70 degrees is cold for me. . .
So you're glad they relocated to Texas?
Exactly. (Laughs)
How did working on Transformers compare, physically, to working on Prison Break?
That was more grueling that anything. Two, three, four weeks of just running every single day, with combat boots, with all this gear on top of you - that was just really exhausting.
Was doing Prison Break good preperation for that?
Oh, absolutely (laughs). It was definitely boot camp.
What do you like best about the audience response to Prison Break?
You know what? I love that people come up with their own theories about Prison Break. Everybody thinks they know where the show is going. And it just thrills me, because everybody's got their own clues and they're great ideas, but [the writers] are doing a phenomenal job. I had a director tell me once, "There's nothing better than a dead writer" [because they don't object to changes]. Not in this case - I can't speak well enough about our writers. For an actor, writing is the key. And it's a roller-coaster. They take you up and down and the audience hasn't a clue [what's coming next].

Knepper Cast In New Animated Movie
Prison Break's Robert Knepper has just been cast in a new animated feature based on a Gold Key Comics Title:
NEW YORK, October 23: Classic Media has acquired the international rights to Turok: Son of Stone, an animated feature-length film based on a Gold Key Comics title, for premiere at this year’s AFM.
The film is presented by The Weinstein Company and will be released on DVD domestically by Genius Products. First appearing in comic books in 1954, Turok’s dinosaur-hunting quests have previously been turned into a video game franchise that boasts more than 5 million units sold since the first game was introduced in the mid-90s. The new film draws on the original comic book, as well as influences ranging from Frank Miller to Akira Kurosawa, to create a dark, intense, epic retelling of Turok’s origin.
Classic Media picked up the rights to Gold Key Comics titles including Turok, Magnus Robot Fighter, Doctor Solar and M.A.R.S., in 2001.
Turok: Son of Stone is directed by Tad Stones, Dan Riba, Curt Geda, and Frank Squillace, and stars the voices of Adam Beach as Turok, Robert Knepper, Irene Bedard, Cree Summer and Graham Greene.
"We’re delighted to introduce the first Turok feature at this premiere global marketplace,” said Doug Schwalbe, the executive VP of sales and co-productions at Classic Media. “AFM is the ideal venue for the world premiere of Turok: Son of Stone."

Spin Off!?
It has just come to my attention that Fox is planning a spin off to Prison Break. What the fuck?:
Fox is looking to expand its primetime prison population with a spinoff from "Prison Break."
Tentatively titled "Prison Break: Cherry Hill," the potential new series would be set at a women's prison and center on Molly, a new regular character that will be introduced on "Prison" later this season.
Fox has ordered a script of the possible spinoff, which is being written by "Prison" exec producer Matt Olmstead and co-exec producer Zack Estrin and produced by 20th Century Fox TV.
Molly is an upper-middle-class wife. After suffering a family tragedy at the hands of the Company -- the government conspiracy that framed Michael (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln (Dominic Purcell) and put them behind bars -- she seeks them out at the hellish Panamanian prison Sona in her quest to exact vengeance.
"There is an ironic similarity between Molly and Michael -- they're both emotionally banged-up, both have lost loved ones, and both want the people responsible to pay -- so they empathize with each other," Olmstead said. (Michael's love interest Sara, played by Sarah Wayne Callies, was killed earlier this season.)
In "Cherry Hill," which would have the same tone as "Prison," Molly goes to a women's detention facility fully accepting the life sentence for her acts of revenge until she is contacted by the government with information that some of her loved ones are alive.
"In a moment's time, she is transformed from an unapologetic murderer to a motivated woman who would do anything to get out of prison and be with them," said Olmstead, who is exec producing "Cherry Hill" with Estrin and "Prison" exec producer Dawn Parouse.
Olmstead and Parouse had been talking about developing a show set at a women's prison for some time but had hit a roadblock -- how to set up and launch such a show?
"Concurrent with that, on 'Prison Break' we wanted to introduce a mystery character who brings some clues to the table and with whom Michael and Lincoln work to uncover the big conspiracy," Olmstead said. "The women's prison idea folded into the idea of introducing that character, and once we combined them, it immediately popped for us."
He approached Estrin with the idea, and he came on board right away.
A search is under way for an actress to play Molly. "Prison" producers will determine in which episode she will make her first appearance after casting the role.
If "Cherry Hill" doesn't go forward, Molly will continue on "Prison" as a regular character.
There have been several series set in women's prisons over the years, including the long-running Australian drama "Prisoner: Cell Block H" and Fox's short-lived comedy "Women in Prison."
"Cherry Hill" follows the path of ABC's "Grey's Anatomy," which spun off Dr. Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh), a character introduced on the hit medical drama, into her own series, "Private Practice."

Prison Break Schedule Update
Make sure you do not forget to tune into Prison Break tonight which airs at 8/7c on FOX. Note that there is no Prison Break the week after (October 29th). FOX is airing both "Photo Finish" (3.06) and "Vamonos" (3.07) as a double bill on November 5th.
I am unsure of the UK episode schedule at the moment. All I know is that this will totally screw it up what with all the breaks and such.
