Mapping straightness, at this point… feels like a dead end. See us empowered, in positions of authority. Moving through the world with purpose. It makes it easier to imagine those things are available to us in real life too. Wentworth recently reacted to fans wanting his Prison Break character to be gay. Wentworth Miller is following up on a recent Instagram post. After his post, many fans urged Prison Break to make Michael gay, but Wentworth is not down for that suggestion. Hollywood is just the shiny straw thru which the sacred is currently channeled.
Stories matter. Balanced, responsible storytelling matters. Or where. Lighten up. I hear you. AND Hollywood is never not sending messages. I see the impact on this page. Many experience it IRL.
Deserve more respect. Better representation. Because their audiences do too. Prison Break fans can rule out another return of the series because Wentworth Miller says he is done with the show. The "Prison Break" actor revealed for the first time in a lengthy Instagram post Sunday that he was diagnosed with autism as an adult a year ago.
Preceded by a self-diagnosis. Followed by a formal diagnosis. Calling it a "shock" but "not a surprise," Miller admitted he still has a lot to learn about autism. The organization also notes that autism is a "spectrum condition" that affects people differently and to varying degrees. There's a lot to know. Re-examining 5 decades of lived experience thru a new lens. That will take time. Miller clarified he isn't speaking for the autism community as a whole when going public with his own experiences and acknowledged that the community has been "historically talked over.
Only to raise my hand, say, 'I am here. Miller, 48, addressed the reaction to his decision in a follow-up post in which he explained that he wasn't saying gay men should only play gay characters, but rather was speaking for himself. It makes a difference performance-wise IMO , but also bec straight actors playing 'gay' centers straightness. Doesn't matter if they're 'acting' — I still know what I'm looking at.
He described his experience filming "Prison Break" as "challenging" both "onscreen and off. Yes," he wrote. Miller's "Prison Break" co-star Dominic Purcell commented on the initial post, writing, "It was fun mate. What a ride it was.
Fully support and understand your reasoning. Glad you have made this decision for your health and your truth. Keep the posts coming.
