'Prison Break' scoop: What's T-Bag's endgame?

Tags:

It’s a question that has to be on the minds of Prison Break producers as they make their way toward the show’s series finale: How do you redeem one of the most despicable, soulless characters in TV history in just a handful of episodes?

It’s easy, says T-Bag’s portrayer, Robert Knepper, in the exclusive video interview below: You don’t.

    Robert Knepper is awesome. If anyone but him played T-Bag, it would have never worked and he would have never been made a regular. Here’s to hoping we see much, much more of him after PB is over.

  • Dick Necker

    Does this Ausiello character ever look at the people he’s interviewing, or is that his ‘bit’?
    I hate people that are too cool for school…

    That’s the way it should be. It’s not good story-telling if T-Bag would just suddenly go nice and soft. That’s not his psych, that’s not the way he would be based on the characterization that the show have presented from the beginning.

    Ausiello looks INCREDIBLY uncomfortable in that video. Knepper seems like a cool guy; why so tense?

  • Jae.

    I think TBAG was drunk and that’s why the Aushole looked awkward!

  • Caitlin

    That video was so funny. I’m sad that PB is ending but this season has redeemed the show, and I’m glad the writers are staying true to the characters.

  • Brandi

    LOL Ausiello! You look terrified… he won’t actually slit your throat, y’know?!

  • lizzie007

    I gave up on PB last season, i felt like it ran it’s course and got old. BUT…i can’t understand why Robert Knepper has not gotten an Emmy nomination. If I saw him on the street I may run screaming, unable to differentiate an actor from the role…because he’s that good.
    I think that’s why Ausiello keeps backing away, because we all know that no one can be that scary and be acting.

  • Jody

    I think Robert Knepper did an awesome job as TBag. He’ll be missed

  • Ken

    Love Prison Break, will miss it with all the great characters, including the evil TBag. Robert is great

  • Mindy

    TBag is one of the characters you just love to hate. Kudos to Knepper
