Cress Williams to Join Prison Break Season 4 as Assassin

cress-williams-NC.jpgPrison Break Season 4 filming is well underway and the new characters are being leaked! These new entrants are set to become key players in the showdown between Michael and The Company.

Michael is enlisting everyone he knows – friend or foe – to take down the Company. Of course Susan B. is retaliating and pulling out the big guns, including a deadly assassin who’s “just itching to take out Michael and his gang.”

So who’s going to play this tough guy? TV Guide announced today that the man will be Cress Williams, most recently seen playing the role of Tucker Jones on Grey’s Anatomy. (What’s with all the crossover between Grey’s Anatomy and Prison Break?!?) Williams has starred on several other prime time shows, including Providence, The West Wing, Veronica Mars, Close to Home, and ER.

What do you think of this new turn of events and can you picture Williams in the role of an assassin?

    I don’t like him, but I think he’d be good as an assassin

    i don’t like him, i want c-note {rockmond dunbar} back …

    it’d be logic, if you watch season 1 again, on your dvd-box set, he and michael couldn’t get along, so … it’d be not more than logic(al) for c-note to play michael’s assasin ..

    f*** this guy, i hope he ****

    I’ve never heard of a Cress Williams until now.
    And this doesn’t really excite me.
    If ever he does join the Prison Break cast, i don’t think he will be as good as Michael Rappaport (DON) in playing Scofield’s rival.
    But on the other hand, this picture of Cress makes him look in between evil and drugged out, which is probably a good way to portray yourself if you want the public to know he will be on the bad side.
    But what about Penrab? He’s with the CO.

    well interesting choice actually

    but after watching him play baileys husband in greys anatomy for soooo long, im in some doubts of how wxctly he will play as an assasin

    but then again paul adelstein aka kellerman was awesome in pb and when he went to private practice, he plays a complete diff character and is awesome in their too so i suppose never underestimate actors!

    ” I’ve never heard of a Cress Williams until now. ”
    EXACTLY THE SAME GOES FOR ME.. I TRIED SEARCHING FOR SOME INFO ON HIM, ON WIKIPEDIA, BUT EVEN TO THEM, HE ‘DOESN’T EXIST’!!!

    I MEAN .. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT???!!!

    BTW; NOT to confuse people, I’m NOT saying, that ‘if you’re a celebrity / politician / writer / WHAT-EVER, and your name doesn’t show up on Wikipedia, that you are completely NON-EXISTENT’ .. I’m NOT saying that .. But it {still} seems ODD to me, since they DO actually have not 1, but SEVERAL issues like the show / series he’s supposed to play in, yet HE HIMSELF, ‘doesn’t exist’ .. At least, NOT ‘in the world of Wikipedia’ .. I REALLY find that S-T-R-A-N-G-E …

    AND … BEFORE PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE THE URGE TO CORRECT ME, READ THIS;

    I KNOW Wikipedia’s a site where ‘normal people, like you and me’ can go and make changes / edit things here and there .. I KNOW that .. That’s ‘nothing new’ to me .. But … I STILL find it odd .. Don’t you??

    Also, just try typing in, “Tucker Jones” .. Here’s what I got / keep getting;

    ” L. Tucker Jones was the head coach for the William & Mary Tribe men’s basketball team for the 1928-1929 season.[1] In his sole season as coach he guided the Tribe to a 9-11 record. “[1]

    Yeah may be true, but you cannot compare IMDB to Wikipedia .. Or the other way around .. They’re just TOO MANY differences … {between the 2 of them}

    i agree that ive never heard of the guy,but every casting choice for PB so far turns into gold. Stacey Keach, Rockmand Dunbar, William Fitchner, Robert wisdom, jodi lyn o keefe ,,,all of them have amazed me in there portrayl of their roles
    Im sure that the guy theyve picked is bound to be awsome in his role,, the prison break cast aint dissapointed me yet

    I’ve liked him every since he was Scooter on Living Single.

    He does a helluva job as Wyatt. He’s quietly menacing, and very convincing at it.

    I think he is HOOOOOOOT. I look forward to Prison Break Season 4 (I am watching it on DVD now) to see this gorgeous guy. I think he plays his part very well.
