  • So pity that J. Abruzzi died so soon in Season 2

    One reason that I watch Prison Break is because of Peter Stormare's role as John Abruzzi. His exquisite stance in the show really left a deep impression on me. It made me feel that Abruzzi "was" an inborn leader in Prison Break, though he was from some sort of Mafia. Anyway, Peter Stormare hasMore no doubt done a great job in Prison Break. It was really a pity that John Abruzzi was the first one down in the manhunt. He could have gone further if he didn't revenge Fibonacci's betrayal. Maybe it was Abruzzi's " Achilles' heel ". I still remember John's conversation with Alex Mahone when he was cornered by the Police. Mahone : I'm asking you respectfully. Drop the weapon, kneel, and put your hands on your head. Abruzzi : I kneel only to God, but I ain't see him here. With the cross in his hand dropped to the ground, he was taken down by the rifles. Pretty classical ---- a John Abruzzi's way to die.

    Great actor! hide show

    Well, let's see something about Peter Stomare!
    The first time when i saw him it was in "Constantine" in the role of Luciffer! I liked him since then but not appreciate him so much becuase i said: "oh, com'on just an actor in a small roll, not worth". But, i'm glad to realise that Peter isn't that way, he's much better than i though before and that's from the reason that i saw him in Prison Brak, i saw how is he in an importan role! And now related to "Constantine" the character which Peter plays in Prison Brak, Abruzzi, isn't to far from Luciffer, they both are evil:P!! Great actro Peter Stomare!

    This guy is a freak! I first noticed him in Armageddon as the Russian. Anyone see the VW commercials?! Very diverse. Who is this guy?! He must have done well in "The Lost World","Bad Boys II" and "The Brothers Grimm", because I don't recall him. Maybe he was too straight (help me if totally wrong). "Constantine" as Satan really threw me! I liked it.
