William Fichtner (Prison Break, Black Hawk Down) joins us this week to share his multi decade journey through Hollywood working alongside legends on the screen and how it all started with a random referral while in college. Ficthner gives insight into his process and how, without fail, he always puts in the work before playing any role; expanding on this with a story of his blind character in Robert Zemeckis’ Contact. We also talk about favoring performance over appearance, entering an industry as an outsider, and not chasing people’s approval.

What William Fichtner thought of coming on to the show Prison Break for the 2nd Season #insideofyou #prisonbreak

He absolutely kills it in everything he is in. He was one of the best characters in Prison Break.

[ysmaboy]

I disagree... He wasn't an a**hole. He was my favorite. And yes, he was misunderstood. He was a man pushed to do the job of hunting down the scapees or his life, which already was shattered, would be destroyed even more. Great character!

[ginahiebert]

Loved his character on prison break, Mahone was such a badass!

[BernieUSMC]

One of my FAVORITE actors. Has been amazing in everything he has acted in.

[spuangiofficial]

He played the sht out of mahone. Him and Tbagged carried season 2 and 3

[sumitboral]

His acting was mind blowing, honestly i fell in love with his acting after watching prison break, well the character he played, it was good, he was a loving family man but the system didnt let him out, he was loyal and didn't even betray Micheal, honestly his character is damn good and still i am stuck in season 4.

Way back in 2007 I got the opportunity to be an extra on Prison Break during its second season. It was the episode “Bad Blood”. I played a police officer at the airport. I got to watch William Fichtner walk right past me in a scene. It was weird seeing him during rehearsals wearing a tshirt and jeans since his character on the show was always wearing suits. Of course he was wearing a suit when they shot the scene. In the scene he’s walking through an airport while talking on his cell to his son. In real life there wasn’t a single person talking (aside from him) and no background noise at all even though people are walking all around him like you would expect to see at an airport. But everyone was quiet. When the episode aired the scene it sounded like a reg airport with lots of people talking in background and airport announcements on intercom etc I thought it was neat that all that stuff was added later. After my cop scenes were filmed they had me change into “tourist” wardrobe cuz they needed shots of people walking towards the airport as a taxi carrying one of the other main actors sped away. It was my one and only opportunity to be an extra on a tv show. I was offered the opportunity to do additional extra work but didn’t have time due to my actual job.

Prison Break is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Have watched the entire series more than once. My best friends cousin was a guard in the first season who had actually a good amount of scenes. His name is Mac Brandt. Mac and I were pall bearers for his cousin and my best friend for his funeral. It wasn’t the time to ask questions but I had so many lol. He’s been in a lot of things actually.
