Fictional Lover of the Week: Michael Scofield

It is time to introduce the next Fictional Lover of the Week. The next couple of Fictional Lover posts will be about Michael Scofield, the "hero" of Prison Break. 

-Son of Aldo Burrows and Christina Rose Scofield, brother of Lincoln Burrows
-Took his mother's maiden name, Scofield, because believed that his father was an alcoholic (he really wasn't one)
-After the death of his mother (she was later found alive), Lincoln became the guardian of Michael
-Michael traveled from foster home to another when he was young, Lincoln was on a criminal path and because of that wasn't able to take care of Michael
-Michael graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science  in Civil Engineering from Loyola University Chicago
-After graduation Michael became a structural engineer at the firm of Middleton, Maxwell & Schaum in downtown Chicago
-When Michael learns that his brother, Lincoln, has got a death sentence, he commits a crime to get to the same prison with his brother
-Michael gets a tattoo to his upper body which hides the map of Fox River Prison into it
-When Michael gets to Fox River, he feigns type 1 diabetes, giving him daily access to infirmary (exit point from the prison.) During his visits Michael forms a relationship with the prison doctor Sarah Tancredi, and they eventually fall in love
-Michael gets Lincoln out of Fox River, but their problems does not end to that (I do not want to ruin someone's watching experience, so I won't go on with explaining what happens to the brothers)

-Extremely empathetic and altruistic toward's other people's emotions; more concerned with other people than himself
-Has very strong moral sense and is cool and reasonable
-Very smart and creative; creative genius

I remember when Prison Break first started on TV. I was so excited about it, mostly because of the hot actor portraying the lead character. I was sucked in to the story, but I must admit that as the story went on (from prison to the next prison), it got so confusing... And I was not able to watch all the episodes because I always had something on the night the show came, I eventually stopped following the series. But I still love Michael Scofield; he is honest, smart, good looking and ready to go to prison in order to save his brother. Who wouldn't want a guy like that?

  1. Oh yes it certainly was a show with great eye candy! And I was all for one brother being willing to risk it all for his brother. But I wasn't sure Lincoln was worth risking and I thought the idea of a show about a prison break would have a limited run. Never thought it would be because the lead character ended up in prison!

  2. What I really started to dislike about the whole concept was the fact that it just went on and on, from prison to the next prison. But I really want to see more of Wentworth Miller since I think that he is a really talented actor.

  3. I never watched Prison Break, eek! And, I feel horrible because Mr Miller just...doesn't float my boat. *hides in shame* ;) But he is quite cute, I have to say.

  4. Irena, he isn't the type of guy that normally gets my attention, but there is something in him that just mesmerizes me, I don't know how to explain it.
