举一反三

Prison Break（《越狱》） is a huge hit thanks to its handsome star, Wentworth Miller. His character, Michael Scofield, is the engine that drives the show．
Having committed a crime to get into prison and broke out his innocent elder brother, Michael Scofield is one of the most interesting personalities on television today. But what about the man behind the character?
Miller, 35, is a hard guy to figure out. He does not come from a normal background and has never lived his life in a typical way．
Miller didn"t take a direct path to fame and fortune. He graduated from Princeton University in 1995, not with a degree in theatre or film, but in English．He didn"t even act when he was in college. His only performance experience was in his university"s singing group. Yet, at graduation Miller still decided to make the move to Hollywood．
Miller has always been different. Although he is American, he was born in Britain when his father was studying there. His family background is also a special mix of cultures．“My father is black and my mother is white. That means I have always been caught in the middle．I could be either one, which can make you feel out of place，”Miller says．
Following his unusual path, Miller did not start trying out for films and TV shows when he first got to Hollywood．Instead, he worked as a lowly production assistant, not what you would expect from a Princeton graduate. However, it all paid off for Miller in the end．
In 2002, Miller played a role in the drama Dinotopia．He starred as a thoughtful and shy man．Producers remembered his performance when they were casting Prison Break two years later. With a golden globe nomination(提名) and another season of Prison Break on his resume(履历), Miller seems ready to take over all of Hollywood．
