Behind the Scenes
| • | The Vice-President’s brother Terrence Steadman (whom Lincoln supposedly murdered) has been played by two actors. John Billingsley originated the role in season one but it was played by Jeff Perry in the season two. The recasting was done as a result of Billingsley being signed as a regular on the ABC series The Nine. |
| • | Dominic Purcell was cast three days before the start of production. Purcell auditioned for the role of Lincoln Burrows while recurring as Tommy Ravetto on North Shore. Series creator Paul Scheuring initially felt Purcell was “too much of a pretty boy” but won the role. When Purcell arrived on the set with a shaved head, Scheuring was amazed at the physical likeness of the two actors playing brothers. |
