Wentworth Miller had been complaining regularly about having to still pretend to have tattoos around his body whilst filming season 2-4 of prison break however, he has finally won over the shows bosses as they have been removed from his character ‘Michael Scofield’ in this season.
Miller explained the practical reasons why he wanted the tattoos removed:-
“It was a fan favourite the first season,” he told the Star Telegram about Michael Scofield’s full torso tattoo containing an encrypted map.
“But then Michael escaped - mission accomplished - and suddenly it was just something that had to be borne rather than be something that could be used as a plot device.”
“In 100-degree heat, [I was] wearing long-sleeve shirts because we’re still pretending I actually have the thing on.”
“I am looking forward to rolling my sleeves up,” added the actor, after his request to remove the tattoo during the fourth season was granted by Prison Break’s writers.

The chiefs at Cambridge University have spoke to the producers of EastEnders, Coronation Street and Emmerdale about featuring the institute in some of their story lines.
All three top UK soaps have been asked to help the historic university to lose its long standing reputation of only taking on students from privileged backgrounds and can of course cater for everyone.
“It’s about challenging myths about studying at Cambridge,” a spokesman explained. “People think it’s an expensive place to study when in fact, because of short terms and the availability of college accommodation, the bills can be lower. We have some of the most generous student support packages around and it’s an unlimited pot: we don’t run out of cash.”
The representative added: “It’s really important to get a popular message across about raising young people’s aspirations and showing them the range of options on offer.”
Red Dwarf fans will be happy to hear that the popular TV show should be back on our screens soon. The cast are to reunite for a few short shows to be broadcasted on ‘Dave’ in 2009.
The whole cast Craig Charles, Chris Barrie, Danny John-Jules, Robert Llewellyn and Chloe Annett are to appear in four, 30 minute, special shows with new material and some old footage from the TV classic.
Red Dwarf was a very successful TV programme in its day, it started in 1988 and ended in 1999. It ran for eight seasons and to this day i have no idea as to why the BBC didnt pursue a ninth season despite it huge commercial success.
