Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who plays our hero Michael Scofield, out to save his falsely convicted brother Lincoln Burrows?

Answer: Wentworth Miller

This one should have been very easy, due to the fact that I added Wentworth's name under the header for this subcategory. Wentworth was born in Oxfordshire, England in 1972. Some fans may remember him from one small part in season two of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" when he played a steroid enraged swimmer named Gage in "Go Fish".

He was also on a couple of episodes of "Popular" in 2000. I remember him specifically from his role as Joan's anti-hero in the end of "Joan of Arcadia" in 2005. He makes a small guest appearance on Jennifer Love Hewitt's 2005 debut series "Ghost Whisperer" as well.
2. What did Michael do during the bank hold-up that got him sent to prison?

Answer: discharged his weapon

Michael is an extraordinary man. The judge did not understand why someone of his detailed education and experience committed the crime, plead no contest to it, and fired his weapon and never hurt anyone. Michael knew exactly what he needed to do during the hold up in order to be sent to prison. He fired into the ceiling twice, once right before the authorities arrived and once after.
3. How much time did the judge give Michael, and how soon did she say he could be paroled?

Answer: 5 years, half that time

He seemed pleased at her sentence and went on to the Fox River State Penitentiary in Joliet, Illinois.
4. Michael's attorney, Veronica Donovan, knew him personally as well. How were the two connected?

Answer: she was Lincoln's high-school sweetheart

Veronica and Lincoln were a couple as teenagers. Lincoln never really got over the fact that she left to go to college, and he fathered a son with Lisa. She says to Michael that she did give him a chance when she got back from college, but that Lincoln destroyed it.

She is now engaged to be married. Jessalyn Gilsig plays Linc's ex-wife Lisa Burrows. She also played the sex addict Gina on FX's "Nip/Tuck".
5. When is Lincoln Burrows scheduled to be executed for the murder of the Vice-President's brother?

Answer: May 11

Michael has to get in, execute his well thought out plan, and break out before Linc's date with death. He has already researched out the inmates that he'll need to use to get out. After his tattoo is completed in the very beginning of the episode, he tears down his windows covered with news articles about various people and facts he needs to have this plan play out. One article is on diabetes, which he pretends to have in order to gain access to the hospital wing.
6. Michael and Lincoln are both brown-eyed.

Answer: False

The men are both blue-eyed. Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller are not only blue-eyed, but were both born in England in the 1970s. Miller in 1972 and Purcell in 1970. Dominic was also on the TV movie and series "John Doe" for one season, and in 2004's third installment "Blade: Trinity".
7. Michael uses a quote of Gandhi's to bond with prison doctor Sara Tancredi.

Answer: True

The quote: "Be the change you wanna see in the world."
She used it as her senior quote, but I am not sure if she meant high-school or college. Of course, Michael already knew all about Sara, he had an article of her on his window in his apartment. Apparently her father was a bit of a gun-toting anarchist, as they briefly discussed.
8. Who is the mobster that Michael needs help from to get a job in the prison?

Answer: John Abruzzi

Michael comes to him, offers a paper swan, and explains he has information to share. All Michael wants in return is a P.I. position. John is not impressed by Michael. The two end up getting into a fight in the prison yard, which slightly impresses John. Later, John hires Michael as a P.I.

He explains it is to keep his enemies as close as possible. The fabulous Peter Stormare plays the once top dog mobster. Peter has a long career under his belt. You may remember seeing him in "Armageddon" as the Russian Cosmonaut Lev Andropov, or as Satan in "Constantine".

He even guest-starred in season one of "Joey".
9. There is a man in the prison that people believe to be the long lost D.B. Cooper. His name is Charles Westmoreland and his a pet cat named what?

Answer: Marylin

He explains to Michael that the cat was grandfathered in, back from the time inmates were allowed to have some pets inside the prison. She is a basic domestic short-haired tabby. Michael strikes up a conversation with Charles first by claiming to know his wife before she died.

He said he worked with her as a teacher in Boston, and provided all the right answers when Charles tested him. He brought up the D.B. Cooper comparison afterward.
10. Warden Henry Pope knew that Michael was a structural engineer, though he listed himself as unemployed. What structure did the warden need Michael's help with creating a model of?

Answer: Taj Mahal

On his first request, the warden was denied help by Michael. Michael wisely saved the favor for a time when the exchange would be equaled. After his fight with John Abruzzi, Michael needed the warden to keep him out of solitary confinement. So, he offered help building the Taj Mahal.

Henry Pope wanted to give this to his wife in June, for their 40th wedding anniversary. Stacy Keach plays the warden of Fox River.
11. Who is the bishop that refuses to cooperate with the Secret Service, and later executed in bed?

Answer: Bishop McMorrow

When asked for his help in the Lincoln Burrows case, the bishop refuses to lie. They try intimidation as well, and he says if they want to use information against him they can. They suggested he'd misappropriated church funds somewhat. Since he would never agree to lie, they executed him instead. Chelcie Ross plays Bishop McMorrow. Ross can be seen in "Hoosiers", "Major League", "Basic Instinct", "Primary Colors", and "The Gift".

He also played his Captain Talcott role from "Basic Instinct" in the season three episode of "The Sopranos" called "Amour Fou".
12. What kind of pharmaceutical does Michael need when Sara gets his blood tests back?

Answer: insulin blocker

He asks the "local pharmacy" guy for an over the counter insulin blocker. He calls the drug either pugnag or fugnag, but I could not find any information on such a drug. He explains to the man he can't ask for it himself, because he is getting the insulin injections from the prison doctor already.
13. How old did Charles Westmoreland say he was?

Answer: 60

Charles and Michael were playing checkers when Michael brings up the idea of escaping. Charles told him that the idea would pass, as it does all inmates. He did admit that being 60 years old, and having 60 years left on his sentence, did cause him to ponder escape.
14. Right before the cell shake down, Michael writes two names down on a piece of paper. Were those names Allen and Schweitzer?

Answer: Yes

They were tattooed on his arm and able to be reflected back in a mirror, as not to be too noticeable. He had tattooed all the information he thought he'd need, including the prison blue prints, onto his body.
15. Michael also wrote down a number from off of his arm. It was tattooed next to the two names. What was that number?

Answer: 11121147

The number turns out to be a part, or serial, number for the bolt he would need to make the allen wrench to use on his cell toilet. The names Schweitzer and Allen were brand names for the toilet and type of wrench.
