Silas Weir Mitchell (actor)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Silas Weir Mitchell is an American actor known for playing disturbing or unstable characters.
He has had recurring guest roles in 24, My Name Is Earl (as Earl's ex-con friend Donny Jones), and Prison Break (as escapee Charles "Haywire" Patoshik). It is significant that in both Prison Break and My Name Is Earl he plays the role of a crazy prisoner, and may have been picked up for one of these roles based on his performance in the other show[citation needed]. He also played the role of the keymaker in the movie Rat Race and also appears in The Whole Ten Yards. Mitchell also made an appearance on CSI: Miami playing the role of a photographer who snapped pictures of a dead man and was questioned for why his fingerprints were on the body's neck.
On the DVD commentary for Prison Break he mentions he had previously auditioned on Prison Break for the role of Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell.
