1. "Prison Break" will air in June in it’s free-tv premiere here in Germany. The name of the show gives us some hints what the show is all about. How would you describe the show?

I would describe "Prison Break" as a desperate acts for desperate measures type of show with an incredible timeline of urgency. It's the type of show that keeps you on the edge. It's as unpredictable for the actors as it is for the audience.

2. Would you please describe your character "C-Note" and tell us what’s his story in the show?

I think C-Note is the smartest inmate in the group. He knows how to get what he wants by playing with peoples emotions. In season one, he’s very manipulative. He tells many lies and holds many secrets.

3. When you first read the script of "Prison Break" what did you think?

I knew I wanted to be part of the show when I first read the script. It's hard to know what’s going to be a hit when you read the script, but this was very interesting to me and I was immediately excited about the project.

4. Season one and two are very different. Not only the locations where the story is told, but also the storylines, because many characters have their own storyline without the other characters. Do you prefer a season?

I prefer season one because the prison was more of the main character and it became a great motivator for acting.

5. Many characters died in season two. Did you know that "C-Note" would survive?

No, most of the actors where always on the edge of their seats. You never knew what was going to happen with the character until you read the script.

6. Many people couldn’t imagine how a second season would be, after the characters broke out of prison. How long do you think this show can survive and tell good stories?

I have many ideas, but its hard to tell. This is a show that doesn't have "typical" writing or a "typical" format, so anything goes.

7. It’s said that the show isn’t planed to the end and that the story could change every time. Is this true? And how is it to work on a show, where storylines can go in a totally other directions than you first expected?

It's frustrating, exciting and it can be difficult to develop a character for an actor. Something you create in one episode can change in the next.

8. There are rumors that "C-Note" won’t be back in the third season. Is this true?

You have to watch, wait and see.

9. Do you have any new projects you can tell us about?

Yes, I’m working on several projects... Including a television show and feature film.

10. Since myFanbase is an online magazine about TV Series do you have a favorite one?

My favorite TV series is "House". Its a very interesting drama. I especially like the lead therapist.
