He's just a great actor. I mostly know him from his role in Prison Break as Alexander Mahone and it was one of my favorite characters of the show. He gave Alex a lot of depth which made his character very easy to relate too, especially later in the series.

What a lovely person William is. I like his acting... He also looks great and I really love the way he speaks. His accent, his diction - can you hear it too or is that just my opinion? He´s very special and I hope he will get his life role soon. PB´s Mahone is wonderful & I hope one day there will be GR8 movie character for William - he will get us on our knees ... again.

Fantastic interview! I’ve grown to appreciate William Fichtner so much, and he’s fascinating in interviews. Even though I’m not a fan of his favorite things like hockey, race cars, Buffalo, tires, or video games, I think William is incredibly relatable. This comment is years after the original posting, but I just saw Cold Brook, which he wrote and directed, and I loved it!!

I never noticed how tall he was until one episode in s.4 of prison break. It's when they are at the warehouse or somewhere and he is running in front of Lincoln, I double took because he legit is like 4 inches taller than Lincoln and Lincoln is already a tall dude! Took me a min to realize wait that was actually him because they don't always have side by side shots of characters showing his true height haha
