Speaking of character names, one of the most interesting names in the show is Fernando Sucre. Sucre is Spanish for sugar, and the character was sweet enough to be named after a sweet treat.
Some of the actors in the show actually had real-life experience with the law. Robert Knepper, who played T-Bag, was once arrested for possession of marijuana in the late 1980s. And Amaury Nolasco, who played Sucre, was once arrested for driving under the influence.
The iconic character of T-Bag almost didn't exist in the show. The writers originally planned for Theodore Bagwell to be killed off after the first season, but Robert Knepper's excellent portrayal of the character led to him becoming a fan favorite and a mainstay in the series.
The show underwent some major changes in its fourth season, with the characters breaking out of prison yet again and becoming international fugitives. This was a risky move that didn't sit well with all fans, but it did add a new level of excitement to the show.
Finally, despite the ups and downs of the series, Prison Break remains a beloved show with a dedicated fan base. The return of the show after nearly a decade proves that the adventures of Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows are still as captivating as ever. Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering the show, there's no denying the impact and legacy of Prison Break.
