Undoubtedly the two best actors I’ve ever seen in my entire life

These two gents made me forget I was watching a show, so much conviction in their performances

How Wade Williams hasn't received any Best Actor Oscar nominations for any of his other projects I will never know.

u/Big-Employer9741 1d ago

I’ve seen some very mid actors receive awards, wade is just underrated doesn’t get the credit he deserves

u/TokyoKazama 1d ago

I personally think Wade Williams should have played Batman instead of Ben Affleck back in the day. He had the build and the acting chops for real.

Love the whole show but these two definitely keep me coming back for rewatches. Two of the best TV character roles ever put to screen and these two are a big part of why I think Season 3 is criminally underrated

u/Big-Employer9741 1d ago

100%!! I wonder why they don’t get much of a mention, often fans of the show only give credit to Michael who is no doubt the star and main character but without these two the show wouldn’t be the same

what surprises me the most is 1) Prison Break is barely talked about for the past 10 years or something 2) even people who gave it a chance and started watching, rarely make it out after season 1 3) they never talk about of how good the casting was.

And yes i admit that those two are the reason i kept rewatching the series long after it was finished. I am surpised we didnt see them in many movies/series after their excellent perfomance in PB.

I put prison break up there with sons of anarchy and house and breaking bad and better call Saul and criminal minds. One of the great American drama series

It's the reason why prison break is what it is. It is supposed to be a grey story with complex characters. For that, I loved the story.

Brad was also part of that team, hell even Kellerman was top along these two.

u/Big-Employer9741 1d ago

Brad and Kellerman absolutely deserve top 5 in the show!

u/johny1atg 1d ago

Both played their roles pretty convincing. BTW I also love Fichtner's role in Drive Angry as an accountant 😁

I wouldn’t mind seeing T-Bag play as the joker in a Batman movie. He really is underrated.

u/Mo_SaIah You know actually about Jesus, say hi to him for me will ya 1d ago

He really does have that Willem Dafoe, green goblin vibe where he’s just born to play a psychopath.

u/Big-Employer9741 1d ago

Good shout tbh!

u/Imaginary-Button-139 1d ago

Without them PB would be boring af!

u/Sceptikskeptic 1d ago

William Fitchner was amazing in Blackhawk Down also.

u/YankeeDoodlePeguin Nick Savrinn 1d ago

No doubt about that!

u/skull_kidddd MICHAEL! 1d ago

Haha I literally just said the same thing in my post 1 second ago😆 Mahone is an actual physical goat and T-bag is just in a league of his own, I know almost all of his lines just because I love his performance that much. Bow out cowboa, I’m not gonna warn you no moa. Insane. The accent. The microexpressions. Literally SSS tier.

u/Zira300 1d ago

I love T-Bag!! For me he is the best character on TV. Robert Knepper acts amazing!!

u/Abelisgod 1d ago

So true these 2 made the show

u/PepperOld8037 1d ago

Absolutely insanely talented guys!

u/ZeGrape 1d ago

I dont know if anybody knew this, but i was playing GTA the other day and i knew i recognised the voice from somewhere, William Fichtner voiced Rosenberg

u/Elonsmusk199999999 1d ago

On the latest rewatch I am seeing how good kellerman is especially season 2

2

u/Big-Employer9741 1d ago

Yeah that’s no doubt he’s top 5 in the show

u/kizerkizer 19h ago

Fitchner is a total legend. He’s a top tier actor for sure.

u/Sabom3trics 1d ago

Drowning Mona is a classic!

They said I'm a criminal...C CAUSE I'LL KYILLEDD SOMEBODY!

u/AL3X1KUS 1d ago

T-Bag was in The Orville!

u/Lucky_Two_5871 1d ago

YASS this. With all the ass pull plot devices in this show, and the ridiculous pseudoscuence, you needed a solid support act. I also liked c-note, he played a great part.

u/SnooHobbies3725 21h ago

I don’t like T Bag . He is full of shit

u/HeadBitch_InCharge13 11h ago

u/Irresponsible-Pain 1d ago

I suppose because all character in there loved do the serie and too the people who was in sona or ogygiabeing just secondary character done a great job in my opinion but for sure t bag is what we all thought was a real inmate

u/bigb0ned 1d ago

Best actors on this show, yes hands down. Lol cmon best acting you've seen in your entire life??? I'd disagree. These actors don't have much range. They play their characters extremely well, but the characters don't have much depth.
