Gay ‘Prison Break’ Star, Wentworth Miller Quits, Says He Is Done Playing Heterosexual Character

Hollywood star, Wentworth Miller has confirmed he will not be returning for the sixth season of Fox Network’s ‘Prison Break’.

In January, Fox Entertainment president Michael Thorn said that there was a possibility of a new season of Prison Break. However, if that becomes a reality, Miller made it clear that he would not be involved.

On Instagram, Miller who played star actor ‘Michael Scofiled’,  thanked fans for his support and spoke out against bullying of the LGBTQIA+ community – lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, asexual and many other sexual/gender identity.

Miller then went on to talk about the potential of a new season of Prison Break but revealed that he is quitting the show because as a gay man, he doesn’t want play heterosexual character anymore.

He then apologised to fans and critics who “fell in love with a fictional straight man played by a real gay one”.

The Hollywood star expressed;

On a related note, I’m out of Prison Break officially. Not because of static on social media (although that has centered the issue). I just don’t want to play straight characters. Their stories have been told (and told). So. No more Michael. If you were a fan of the show, hoping for additional seasons. I understand this is disappointing. I’m sorry, if you’re hurt and bothered because you fell in love with a fictional straight man played by a real gay one.

“This is my favorite IG account,” someone wrote in response to a recent post. Thank you. I want you to know I saw that. I see the positive comments and DMs (a lot of them anyway). Affectionate. Supportive. Appreciated (by me). Obviously there are comments and DMs I appreciate less. Who are these people? On my page? What backwards-ass, Stone Age values country did they crawl out of? The U.S.? I won’t be disappearing (too many cool things to repost). The ability to comment likely will. I’m not concerned for myself. I can’t be “bullied” in this space. I have too much power. “Delete. Block. Deactivate.” Etc. But I take seriously the possibility of queer kids visiting here, recently out of the closet or exploring the idea… I don’t want them exposed to bullshit. On a related note… I’m out. Of PB. Officially. Not bec of static on social media (although that has centered the issue). I just don’t want to play straight characters. Their stories have been told (and told). So. No more Michael. If you were a fan of the show, hoping for additional seasons… I understand this is disappointing. I’m sorry. If you’re hot and bothered bec you fell in love with a fictional straight man played by a real gay one… That’s your work. – W.M.
