Miller Thinks "Prison Break" Could End Soon

Wentworth Miller doesn't like the future of cult hit Prison Break, which attracted 6.5 million viewers in its season premiere.

"I do feel as though we may be on one of our final laps around the track," Miller, who plays Michael Scofield, told reporters in a recent conference call promoting the beginning of the fourth season of Prison Break.

"It is something that weighs on my mind from time to time. Telling a story correctly necessitates knowing when to end it."

This is something that comes up a great deal more over in the United Kingdom, specifically with Ricky Gervais. Gervais ended Extras and The Office after only two seasons.

American television shows seem to hang on to their shows a great deal more, likely because they are so profitable.

"At this point in the series, Michael and Lincoln between them have intentionally or unintentionally killed so many people and yet they're still running around with T-Bag - a maniac, a psychopath and a child killer and a rapist."

Miller seems to be concerned about the credibility of his character as the show progresses through the fourth season.

"Eventually, you have to wonder when is enough enough because it really makes my character look bad. These are the questions that I think eventually we have to answer or else suffer a fall-off in terms of believability and quality."
