Former Prison Break star Robert Knepper is back on our screens in the second season of sci-fi drama Stargate Universe, playing the scheming Lucian Alliance soldier Simeon. Eager to learn more, we caught up with the former T-Bag for a quick chat about his new role, his part in the US remake of Shameless and the triumphant return of his most famous character!
How would you describe your character Simeon on Stargate Universe?
"He doesn't talk much, does he? I love the fact that when I said yes to playing this part, it kind of reminded me of a Steve McQueen-style quiet guy. A strong, tough guy part. On Prison Break, I tended to talk a lot! They gave me a lot of fun words to say. There were always these great mouthfuls of words that would fall out! With Stargate, I knew that this was going to be more of a reacting kind of part, which I actually really loved. Things are simmering for Simeon until he finally explodes. He finally finds the right moment that he can put things into a plan."
