Prison Break had a storyline unlike any other show with two brothers fighting against the justice system after one of the brothers is sentenced to capital punishment for a crime he didn’t commit. Starring Dominic Purcell and up and coming actor, Wentworth Miller, the series was full of intense excitement, thrilling suspense and of course, drama. The show ran on Fox for four seasons from 2005 to 2009 and was a huge success, which is why it has been brought back for a fifth season. Career-wise, the cast has come a long way since the show first aired, so check out how much they are worth now:
