## Resource

Stream Prison Break on Hulu (U.S.) and Disney+ (Internationally) Sarah Wayne Callies and Paul Adelstein discuss Michael's interrogation by General Zavala and punished in a brutal “hot box,” Sofia confiding in Lincoln about distrusting Whistler as Susan kidnaps Lincoln to pressure him via LJ, and Bellick’s dire fight situation, including a cheating tactic with acetone. They reflect on Zavala as an unusually complex authority figure and speculate about the hot box’s on-set design. Guest Castulo Guerra (General Zavala) discusses parachuting into an established series, working amid Dallas/Fort Worth heat and ragweed allergies, the show’s on-set spritzers, the waterboarding scene, fan impact, accent choices, and career highlights including Terminator 2 and The Usual Suspects, and answers fan questions and a Sona escape pick (Steve McQueen).
