Prison Break

Amaury Nolasco on Prison Break Season 3

Amaury Nolasco spoke to WorstPreviews about the upcoming release (September 4th) of "Prison Break: Season 2," revealing a few bits of information about season three and his character, Sucre. But before "Prison Break," Nolasco was in showbiz for around ten years, making appearances in such films as "Mr. 3000" and last year's "The Benchwarmers." Eventually "Prison Break" came about, which followed by his role in the mega-blockbuster film "Transformers."

WorstPreviews: How did you feel when you found out that you were just cast in "Transformers"?
Nolasco: It was last year, it was on my hiatus between seasons 1 and two [of prison break]. I get a call from my agent saying they want you to do a movie called "Prime Directive." And I go ok, there was no script and I had no idea what I was reading for. I went in and I read for it. It went great. I knew it was me fighting robots, but I wasn't sure what exactly, but I figured it was some sci-fi stuff. Then I get a call the same night, saying Michael Bay wants to see me. 'Michael Bay! What movie is this?' It's Spielberg and Michael Bay and its called "Prime Directive" aka "Transformers." '"Transformers" like the toys and the cartoons when I was a kid?' It was a complete wake up call. I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

WorstPreviews: Did you have any idea that the film would turn out as big as it did?
Nolasco: When you see Spielberg and Michael Bay on the call sheet, it can't be small. [But] it really took me by surprise how big it got.

WorstPreviews: Would you say that "Prison Break" had something to do with you being cast in "Transformers"?
Nolasco: "Prison Break" had everything to do with that. It was the show that has given me the opportunity, be my vehicle to put myself out there.

WorstPreviews: When you came onboard, how many seasons of "Prison Break" were originally planned?
Nolasco: When I came onboard, the show was supposed to last 13 episodes and that's it. Then it became a big hit, big ratings. Pretty much extended the whole breakout.

WorstPreviews: When the show was extended, did the writers know exactly the direction to take it in?
Nolasco: Originally it was like 'what are we going to do, they are going to break out of prison and that's it.' [But] we've been reinventing ourselves. The writers make this show run, and we have a great group of writers.

WorstPreviews: What's going on in the upcoming third season?
Nolasco: In seasons 3, we are pushing the envelope. it is based on the realm of "Midnight Express." We are in the lawless prison, we have characters like Mahone looking for more pills to take. We have T-Bag in heaven, because there are many people to sodomise. And Michael is trying to get out.

WorstPreviews: Will you have a bigger or smaller role now that you and Michael are separated in season 3?
Nolasco: There are episodes that you get to work on more than other ones. Everyone has their own storylines and somehow they intertwine. My character has to deal with finding his girl. Eventually, we'll see if he is going to intertwine with Michael's character to help him get out of prison. Does it get bigger or smaller? I can't measure that, because it depends on the storyline that week.

WorstPreviews: Will Michael and Sucre ever reunite again?
Nolasco: There is a relationship between me and Michael that has been called the Odd Couple and people are looking forward to seeing the two again.
