Translation from Italian GQ Part 1

Ok so here's my translation for the first part of the interview. ENJOY!!


The world's sexiest prisoner

That's how American viewers have defined him, but Wentworth Miller, star of the series Prison Break, smiles at being labeled a sex symbol and "macho". He's interested in acting only.

Wentworth Miller, the Prison Break hunk, from the series that takes place at the maximum security prison of Fox River of which since 2006 has Italian spectators at gasps (Also American spectators from the previous year)is hard-hearted.
"everytime something bad happens to me (on the show) you can bet that I am on the phone calling my mom to warn her practically about every scene, otherwise she'll be worried" Miller confesses.

Meanwhile, Michael Scofield, the main character of the prison break series doesnt seem to be having such a good time. For those who have not watched prison break, the story is this, (AND IT GIVE THE SYPNOSIS OF THE SHOW. I WOULD TRANSLATED BUT YOU ALL KNOW WHAT THE SHOW IS ABOUT. YOU KNOW, A BROTHER GETTING FRAMED AND THROWN IN PRISON AND THE OTHER BROTHER WHO BUILT THE PRISON TATTOOING THE BLUE PRINTS OF THE PRISON ON HIS ENTIRE TORSO AND SOON CREATE A PLAN FOR ESCAPE. THEN THEY ESCAPE AND MUST DEFEAT THE COMPANY BLAH BLAH BLAH)


(the show) Produced by Paul schuring, for Fox, has turned to Joliet Correctional Center in Chicago Illinois, the same prison in which the first scene of "Blues Brothers" was filmed. Prison break is a spectacular series full of violence ( to his mother's despair) political intrigue, plots, and betrayal In which there is also room for an inevitable love story between Michael and the Prison's doctor, Sarah Tancredi,(In my opinion, we could have done sans this cheesy love story)
to which Wentworth describes as a Sunday morning animated cartoon with it's fingers cut off.

In America where Prison Break has won a People's Choice Award for best television series and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award, the public seems to have a crazed desire for the infinite adventures of Michael, Lincoln, and the "Fox river 8" (the two brothers and the other six prisoners who have had to join forces (so to speak) to execute the plan of evasion, has transformed Wentworth Miller into a star.
"The success of prison break depends on the fact that people like to see others succeed at terrible things"the actor explains."it's because of this that television can be so addictive" A surprising response by the hero of an action show which producers of fox initially thought of even giving the face of bruce willis.

Wentworth Miller is an intelligent and ironic man, that after four years of stunts,crowded cells and a hasty escape, seems somewhat tired of playing the hero of an action filled series and overall seems worried about being seen as his character all action and muscles. For example he refuses to repeat once again "I have made a little promise to myself", he explains when asked what it takes to apply the infamous tattoo before every shoot (in which the tattoo would be visible) or what he thinks of the death penalty, one of prison break's main topics.
He's taken by the irony of becoming a sex symbol(the American female audience has elected him as the world's sexiest prisoner) he explains "I've collected all the newspapers and magazines with my pictures on the cover, with the idea to be able to look back when I am eighty, but i cant remember where I put them"
In short,Wentworth does not wish to become hollywood's "macho" "Like Michael, there is only determination to do whatever it takes to reach a goal."

THEN THE ARTICLE GOES ON TO SAY ABOUT HOW HE IS THE SON OF TWO EDUCATORS AND HOW HE WENT TO PRINCETON AND REALLY WANTED TO ACT SO FOUR YEARS LATER HE MOVED OUT TO LOS ANGELES AND TEMPED FOR A SMALL PRODUCTION COMPANY AND HIS SPECIALTY WAS WALKING THE BOSS'S DOG. EVENTUALLY THE SITUATION UNFOLDED AND LED TO AUDITION FOR PRISON BREAK AND GETTING THE ROLE.

This experience has shaped the rest of my entire career. "I wasted a lot of time that I could have used to get a degree in law" Wentworth admits, " but i've learned a lot about the people that control the world of cinema. I know what how they work, what they're thinking and what they're afraid of. Any decision I make now is based on what i learned then". What makes him continue, is his passion for cinema and his patience for the "right time". "Acting is the optimum excuse to do and say inappropriate things" he explained as he laughed. "the movies that i can watch indefinitely are Kill Bill 1 and 2, and This is Spinal Tap". (side note OMG I love kill bill!! uma therman rocks!!! I have both parts!!)

while working at the small company, his boss offered him a job as his assistant. "but i rejected his offer because I wanted to act"
