'Prison Break' scoop: What's T-Bag's endgame?

Categories: Prison Break

It’s a question that has to be on the minds of Prison Break producers as they make their way toward the show’s series finale: How do you redeem one of the most despicable, soulless characters in TV history in just a handful of episodes?

It’s easy, says T-Bag’s portrayer, Robert Knepper, in the exclusive video interview below: You don’t.

    Robert Knepper is awesome. If anyone but him played T-Bag, it would have never worked and he would have never been made a regular. Here’s to hoping we see much, much more of him after PB is over.

  • Dick Necker

    Does this Ausiello character ever look at the people he’s interviewing, or is that his ‘bit’?
    I hate people that are too cool for school…

  • linkbait articles

    That’s the way it should be. It’s not good story-telling if T-Bag would just suddenly go nice and soft. That’s not his psych, that’s not the way he would be based on the characterization that the show have presented from the beginning.

    Ausiello looks INCREDIBLY uncomfortable in that video. Knepper seems like a cool guy; why so tense?

  • Jae.

    I think TBAG was drunk and that’s why the Aushole looked awkward!

  • Caitlin

    That video was so funny. I’m sad that PB is ending but this season has redeemed the show, and I’m glad the writers are staying true to the characters.

  • Brandi

    LOL Ausiello! You look terrified… he won’t actually slit your throat, y’know?!

  • lizzie007

    I gave up on PB last season, i felt like it ran it’s course and got old. BUT…i can’t understand why Robert Knepper has not gotten an Emmy nomination. If I saw him on the street I may run screaming, unable to differentiate an actor from the role…because he’s that good.
    I think that’s why Ausiello keeps backing away, because we all know that no one can be that scary and be acting.

  • Jody

    I think Robert Knepper did an awesome job as TBag. He’ll be missed

  • Ken

    Love Prison Break, will miss it with all the great characters, including the evil TBag. Robert is great

  • Mindy

    TBag is one of the characters you just love to hate. Kudos to Knepper

  • Kat

    I thought that this show was the best, T-Bag was a great character and one that should not be changed. No redemption for him. Let him go out in a blaze of glory. I hope to seethis show in reruns. Everyone did a great job and they will all be missed, unless they get a gig on another show. I’ll be watching.

  • Sarah

    T-Bag is the one of the best characters on TV right now. He has the best lines of the show and Robert Knepper is awesome. I almost cried with him when he found out his nephew had been killed, he was so great. I almost expected him to have that T-Bag accent when he started talking.

    I like u aus, but that has to be THE most uncomfortable you’ve ever done. Seriously, you looked like u faked out a couple laughs and like you seriously didn’t wanna b there! loosen up. Oh, and can we hav a Sarah interview please? You seem a lot more comfortable (and actually funny) with her.

  • Josh

    LOVE TBag, he cracks me up!

  • Maria

    I think the whole cast of Prison Break is simply underated. They do a fabulous job playing these really great characters. Love Robert Knepper, he made TBag so much fun!

  • Mark

    T Bag should’nt be redeemed, he’s so mch fun when he’s evil!

  • Tina

    You should get an interview with the whole cast, they’re great! I love Prison Break, really sad to see it go.

  • Vee

    T Bag totally rocks! He makes Prison Break fun.

  • geez

    You are weird Ausiello. Kinda gay and stupid. fu you

  • Anonymous

    Wow Ausiello, you’re weird. Why are you so uncomfortable around him?

  • Anonymous

    ausiello, you kinda look like you were on drugs! i’m sure you read your comments all day long, so you can answer this aswell: what did you take? must’ve been good stuff.

  • Tiigra

    That interview was really wierd. that bloke doing the interview didn’t even look at him. it was all really uncomfortable but robert was great.
    yh, it’s true on prisonbreak if anyone else had played t-bag it wouldnt have been as good. i’m really gonna miss it when it ends, i think they should have let it go on a little longer.

  • Tara

    What did he do to you before? Must’ve been traumatic!

  • Lisa

    Where does T-bag go from here? Hopefully to my pants. I love that hot dangerous man.

  • d

    I am going to miss Prison Break so much. Robert Knepper is a great actor, like others he kind of seemed a little wasted in this video. but realy funny
