William Fichtner in The Amateurs
Before he ever strapped on (ultimately disgraced) FBI agent Alexander Mahone's holster, William Fichtner made a porn film... within the plot of The Amateurs, an engaging little indie that slipped in and out of theaters but is now available on DVD (shop Amazon). TVGuide.com invited Fichtner to reflect on the film's extremely fun shoot, as well as preview what's ahead on Fox's soon-to-conclude Prison Break.
TVGuide.com: I interviewed you a few years back, just as Invasion was about to... you know, vanish.William Fichtner: Oh, yes, I do remember that! [Laughs]

Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller, Prison Break
When your show is called Prison Break, the first season finale sort of writes itself. But now, a season later, what can you do for an encore? Not so tough, says the show's creator and executive producer, Paul Scheuring — just toss out the formula. Again. "The era of the running man is over," he declares about the finale (airing tonight at 8 pm/ET, on Fox).
Meanwhile, brothers Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) still have to complete the final step of Michael's latest plan: Get to Panama and sail off into the sunset with a bag of millions. But first they will have to contend with a few old friends. "This thing catapu

William Fichtner, Prison Break
William Fichtner is that rare sort of actor who can move effortlessly between the television and film worlds without missing a beat. His current TV gig is playing conflicted FBI agent Alexander Mahone on Fox's Prison Break (Mondays at 8 pm/ET), and come March 23 he can be seen in the feature thriller First Snow, starring Guy Pearce. TVGuide.com spoke with the Long Island native as he prepared to shoot the second-season finale of Prison Break.

Question: Thanks for the awesome Ausiello Scoop ice-cream scooper! After a gift like that I shouldn't be asking for more, but do you have any Prison Break scoop?
Answer: You're a greedy little bastard, Casey, and I love you for it. Paul Scheuring also teased that Season 3 would feature "a different storytelling process" that will begin to "play out in the last couple episodes of Season 2" and "leave some cliff-hangers, including one with Sara." Although mum on specifics, he says the new conceit will involve bringing "some of the surviving members of the gang back together," in addition to introducing several new faces. "In the model of Lethal Weapon, where in every subsequent sequel they had a new participant, we're going to be doing that as well. We brought in Mahone for Season 2, and we plan on adding one or two major new characters/actors for Season 3." Does that mean my buddy William Fichtner's days are numbered? "Let's

William Fichtner, Prison Break
As all but two of the Fox River 8 remain at large on Fox's Prison Break (returning tonight at 8 pm/ET with fresh episodes), the stakes gets higher and the law gets closer. As part of TV Guide's Fall Hot List coverage, we asked William Fichtner what makes his FBI agent tick like the pill-popping time bomb he is.
TV Guide: You're playing FBI agent Alexander Mahone, who is deceptively smart and oh so twisted. William Fichtner: The more twisted the better! Who wants to play a straight-away FBI guy? When I read the first two episodes, I thought, "What the heck is going on with this guy?"
TV Guide: What's up with those pills? Fichtner: I think his plate is so full he needs a little help. He takes his pills, takes a deep breath and figures out a major piece of the puzzle.

Callie Thorne -- aka Rescue Me nutcase Sheila -- is joining Prison Break for a multi-episode arc, sources confirm. She'll play Pam, the estranged wife of William Fichtner's Mahone -- a role I first told you about in Ask Ausiello. Per my Prison mole, the character will be introduced in Episode 9 when Michael meets up with Pam in an attempt to uncover some dirt on his mad pursuer. (Hint: He finds some.) And in what marks a bit of a breakthrough for Thorne, Pam is not cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. That's right, Thorne is playing a character who's not crazy. Stop the presses!In other casting news, I'm told Krista Allen is joining ABC's retooled What About Brian for at least six episodes.
