Sarah Wayne Callies chats briefly about Prison Break, her role as Sara Tancredi, and being back at work on the show!
“It’s definitely odd from a performance standpoint,” Sarah says to theTVaddict.com. “Psychologically, my relationship to ‘Sara’ was over. But I’d never come back to a character I put away and resuscitating Sara was a very new and exciting process for me. In a way I consider it great practice because there’s a history in theatre of returning to the same character and bringing something new to the role.”
That said, being back at work is great. Sarah says that it’s a really good group of people to work with. And as for the recent media circut, she says that those are a performance unto themselves. “I’m performing the role of Sarah Wayne Callies. And this public performance isn’t the person that I am, but rather the person that I feel is appropriate to share with the public.”
Sarah chats briefly about Prison Break Season 4, saying that it’s their own spin off! “We’re our own spin-off this season which is so exciting. I mean I just got the outline for episode eight and it’s really interesting the kinds of things I’m able to explore this season that Sara’s never gotten near before. I think it would be difficult to be on a show that season after season is a version of the same thing. It would be hard to stay creatively excited about something like that.”
Sarah is glad that her character keeps changing. “Sara changes a lot. She’s also very deeply flawed which is much more interesting than playing a saint. Sara’s choices, especially this season, keep surprising both her and me. So far it’s very interesting.”
As for her career in acting, Sarah also says that it wasn’t her first professional goal. She wanted to be a professor!! So how did she get off that track and into acting? “In my senior year of College I did a huge research project that was sort of a prelude to a Ph.D. But after ten weeks of being locked in the little library researching for six months, I thought, this was way too lonely.”

Hey Tabitha and V,
Thanks too for responding quickly to my “SOS” lol…
I thought I was the only one with the problem.
Speaking of Sarah,
She is intelligent isn’t she?
SWC is no slouch.
Just like Hugh Laurie :p
Hi Sona44!!
When you posted your comments I could see only one of them although there were 6 or 7 mails from the notify-me application!
Nikki said that the site had weird issues. It seems you were typing your comments at the same time!
don’t worry Sona44 i’m having the same, but they do post, so don’t worry! i’ve seen your comment to V, there are loads!! lol!
wow SWC was gonna be a professor??!! She must have a good brain on her! I’m pleased she’s doing acting tho :0) She’s great at that also!!
Hey V and SOP,
Could you please let me know if my comments appeared on your computer screen?
Errmmm, there would be around 6 or 7 of the same one lol!!!!!
For some reason, the comments wouldn’t appear on my computer!!!
So please get back to me ok, on this post!
@sona44 – the site is having weird issues right now (all the b5 sites are) – just hang tight and you should be able to post there shortly!!
More spoilers from Spoiler TV guys!!!
I can’t seem to post comments at the PBB Fans Chat :(
Project Christmas from Alias – dimitra that is so funny! I dont think they are exploring those plot lines either :) too reminiscent of alias.
Wow she actually studied ph.d in her senior college year. You gotta have brains to do that. :)
I hate that sentence “i’m performing the role of SWC” b-coz she ain’t, if that’s who she is.
Sarah was supposed to say Dr Sara Tancredi. Duh!
Anna in Helsinki, Finland: Got any scoop on Prison Break? Labor Day seems so far away.
When I talked to Prison Break producer Zack Estrin, he told me, “We do learn a little bit this season why Michael Scofield is so smart. This is not sci-fi, but there is something that is unique about his childhood that leads to why he has the ability to do some of things he can do.” OK, I’m convinced he was part of Project Christmas from Alias, but since that’s not right-any theories? Maybe he just really loved puzzles?
@Voula,Nikky-I agree with you,too!
@Voula – I agree with you! It was kind of weird that she said that. We want to know who SHE is, not who she thinks we want her to be…
I don’t like the phrase about the ‘performing the role of SWC’ thing… :s
Interesting. And choosing a field that is in no way related to one another. Sara did good with herself either way.
I can’t wait for her return! This is going to be a great season!!
She wanted to be a professor but then she got lonely and become a doctor and then she found Michael :D jk :p
I love this woman, she is so kind. I wait her return very much. I think the show will better because she is back. :-)
Cool
