Jodi Lyn O'Keefe Talks Final Break

Jodi Lyn O’Keefe recently sat down to chat with Movie Web about her stint on Prison Break, the Prison Break: The Final Break DVD, and her plans for the future!

When asked how it was to work with such an amazing cast of men, Jodi laughs and says that she was nervous when she first walked on set. “I thought this was going to be interesting. It was going to be me, with a gun and a bunch of dudes and I was like, ‘Am I going to be comfortable?’ It turned out that I got there and they were such gentlemen and they were so lovely to me that they made me feel at home right away. There are all these guys asking every minute if you’re thirsty? Do you need a glass of water? Are you OK? Have you eaten today (Laughs). It was the exact opposite of everything that I expected to happen. I was expecting a bunch of stinky, sweaty boys. It was easy. I kind of integrated into the cast really easily. They are amazing to work with. The first couple of weeks on set, I just couldn’t stop smiling. My favorite story to tell is that I got there and it was like, that’s Michael Scofield. That’s not Wentworth Miller. That’s Michael, and I had just this big sh*t-eating grin on my face the entire time. I had to constantly remind myself that, ‘Maybe you shouldn’t smile so much when you’re killing someone” (Laughs). It was an adjustment.”

When it comes to the DVD release of Prison Break: The Final Break, Jodi reveals that she thinks it was always supposed to be after the season finale. “The season finale left you with all these questions, and this two-part show answers them all for you. It’s kind of like a bonus at the end of all of it.” And as for Michael’s death? “I just don’t think anyone in the public is actually going to be convinced that Michael is actually not around.”

As for her current plans, Jodi says that she’s scrambling for work. “I’m trying to find a project that I love and that I’m into and get back in the saddle again. I finished Prison Break and I did a guest star on The Big Bang Theory and it’s been about a month or so, since I’ve stopped working.”

She also says that The Call has not been picked up for 2010, despite what IMDb says!
