The mark of a great actor is when the audience forgets they're watching a performance, but we doubt Legends of Tomorrow star Dominic Purcell ever expected a fan to call 911 on him.

"I was doing Prison Break," Purcell tells TVGuide.com. "I was in a CVS and this lady called the cops thinking I was actually escaped from prison."

As for what happened once the cops arrived: "They just laughed," Purcell says.
