Prison Break cuffs two new cast members
Friday, July 13th, 2007
Jodi Lyn O’Keefe, Robert Wisdom join Fox’s jailbird series next season.
Prison Break’s Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows are coming back for another year on the lam and under the microscope of a secret organization, but they won’t be alone.
Two new cast members of the Fox drama were announced today and will join the show as regulars for its third season. Robert Wisdom and Jodi Lyn O’Keefe join Wentworth Miller (Michael) and Dominic Purcell (Lincoln), says The Hollywood Reporter, but will both play very different roles.
Wisdom will star as the jailed Panamanian drug lord Luchero, who happens to run the inmates in the Central American joint where much of the upcoming season takes place. The actor’s previous credits include Howard “Bunny” Colvin on The Wire, Barbershop 2: Back in Business, and Ray.
O’Keefe will play Betty Crocker, an agent for the secret government organization, the Company. The fetching 28-year old brunette has a host of television credits, including appearances on Criminal Minds, Two and a Half Men, and Nash Bridges, in which she played the titular detective’s daughter.
