An actor on "Prison Break" is from my hometown

[Rock'n Robin]

I'll admit I don't watch much TV, but I just saw an "Entertainment Weekly" article on Robert Knepper, who plays T-Bag on "Prison Break". I guess he plays a real slime. He graduated with my sister (who still refers to him as "Robbie") and we have followed his career for a long time--he has guest starred on LA Law, CSI, Law and Order, etc. He is 46, married with a small child and was always a really nice guy when he was in school (I grew up in Maumee, OH, a suburb of Toledo). He always had the lead in school plays. Anyone have any feedback on how he is in this show? I've never seen it.

Cool . But let me tell you, I watch Prison Break, and Robert Knepper plays one of the nastiest most repulsive TV characters I've seen in a very long time (rapist and I think pedophile who goes after the new young prisoners). And he does it soooo well that it is hard to watch his character without cringing, and it's hard to imagine that he is not really like that. I'm glad to hear he sounds like a nice guy in real life. Good actor .

So true, he makes me ill most weeks, he truly is repulsive in that character!
BTW-we LOVE the show and are truly hoping they get picked up for more episodes!
