    He lives his characters, he is one very fine actor and has proven it over the time. I discovered him in Prison Break, googled his name and found about John Doe, Primeval and Blade. Dominic Purcell is really impressive in all the roles he did. I only wish he gets more movies so we can enjoy more of his excellent acting. Way to go..Cheers..

    Dominic is a great actor... some people are just too incompitant to realize that. He is far from ugly! He is drop dead gorgeous and was voted sexiest dad in 2006. hide show

    Dominic is amzing in blade trinity , amazing in John Doe, amazing in prison break, and amazing in primeval. He is very talented and sexy. He dropped out of highschool, later on pursued an acting career, is a father of four and and is still a sexy talented actor. I admire him and gave a huge crush on him. Hes got a great in shape body and he looks sexy with or without hair. I even think he looks better without the hair. Theres nothing sexier about an Aussie and one from England.. woooooo! As an actor in prison break his character is supposed to be very serious and his face looks gorgeous like that!

    haha I liked him more in Blade Trinity :D hide show

    In prison break he suits his character very well ,he has that scapegoat looking;because I can't imagine how could any body else interpret his role ,he doesn't have to be a super hero or some psycho ,just a simple man to whom someone set up a murder.
    I personally don't like him that much but as an actor he's doing his best and I have to appreciate that.
    If he's not that good looking like his mate Wentworth ,doesn't mean he's not talented.Talent doesn't stay in looks.(sort of response to the tittle84's review).
    As I was saying in the summary he plays lot better bad guys as he did in Blade ,macho type,but then again I liked in PB how he played Linc the father,he knows how to act when it comes about asking for forgiveness and such .
    If I'd have to score his acting in a fair play I'd give him more than 8 but since it's not my personal favorite I can't do that :P

    I don't like him at all hide show

    I know that many people will disagree with me, but for me Dominic Purcell is one of the worst actors in prime time TV. For me, he has no facial expression, he has the same look since the series started. And he also is ugly, i think he could look better if he had some hair. I think if you don't know how act you have to, at least, be good looking.

    I know that he can't live the series, of course, he is one of the main characters. But every time i see him, i wish that his character could die and i don't have to watch him "act".

    I hope he could improve in the future or find a suitable carrier choice
