S1E5: "English, Fitz Or Percy" | Paper Cranes & Michael's Sentimentality | Top Quotes | Stacy Keach

Sarah Wayne Callies and Paul Adelstein recap Prison Break season one’s “English, Fitz or Percy,” noting the episode’s sharp writing by the late Zach Estrin and honoring other cast members who have died, including DuShon Brown and John Heard. They highlight the episode’s standout moments and recurring phrases (“We got a runner,” “have a little faith,” and “We’re not breaking out of a Jamba Juice, gentlemen”), the first young Michael/Lincoln flashback, and Michael’s emerging sentimentality (the paper crane). Much of the discussion focuses on Stacy Keach’s career, craft, and performance as Pope, plus memories of working with him and Deanna Dunagan. They also discuss how TV in 2005 became more cinematic and the demands of close-up “act out” acting. In fan questions, they describe filming in a real prison, on-set relationships, scenes they wished for, and a line that caused repeated laughter, then announce a listener call-in line for voicemails and fandom stories.
