Capt. Brad Bellick / Wade Williams

The end has finally come for Bradley Bellick. His momma is crying salty tears. At least he finally made a selfless choice in the end. I'd like to thank Prison Break's Nick Santora for writing Bellick such a heroic demise.

I have to say I won't really miss Brad. It was tiring playing such a self-centered, unlikable character. For me as an actor, the traits of a character I'm playing can bleed over into my psyche and attitudes, especially when I play a character over a long period of time. That goes for the positive and negative traits of the character. And that was certainly true of Bellick. It became uncomfortable being the whiny naysayer, the out-for-himself momma's boy, the sadistic prison guard. Good riddance, Brad!

In every episode of Season 3, while we were in the Panamanian prison Sona, Bellick was getting beaten, ridiculed, starved, stripped naked, beat up, tortured or just ignored! Not to mention he was wearing hideous "tighty whities" and MC Hammer tiger pants. During this time, I developed a twitch — my whole body would jerk randomly. I'd be at home watching PBS Sprout with our daughter and I'd be full-body twitching! It was weird. I believe it was from all the stress playing such a tortured, unlikable, helpless character. About two weeks after we stopped shooting during the writers strike, the twitching stopped! Funny thing, I started twitching again when we began shooting Season 4 in May! And ever since Brad died about a month ago, the twitching has disappeared!

Although I won't miss Brad and the twitch, I will certainly miss working with the wonderful cast and crew of Prison Break. That goes for the crews in Chicago and Dallas as well as the one here in Los Angeles. It was a great pleasure working with such a dedicated and generous group of people. I am also grateful to the writers for writing such great stuff for Bradley. It's been a wonderful experience and a gift to have the opportunity to go so many different places with Bellick. What a fantastic character arc!

Many thanks and heaps of gratitude go to our producers Gary Brown and Kevin Hooks, for all the good will, help and support.

I'll especially miss Wentworth [Miller]; he has been very kind to me and I have enjoyed his sense of humor and fun. He is a lovely person and he has been the engine pulling the weight of this show from the beginning. Prison Break's success is largely due to him.

I've seen in the comments some posts from some long lost friends! I hope you all will get in touch with me. Please write to me at the following address:

I'll write you back!

I've had a little over a month off and I am glad to have landed another gig. I am off next week to shoot a movie called Hatteras Hotel. It's an independent film about a small town on the coast of Massachusetts. I will play a sheriff who tries to solve a mystery. This time I am playing a faulted man who's trying to change his life for the better. I think it's gonna be great.

Thanks for watching Prison Break and reading my blog. Follow your bliss and the best of the best in the future!

Grateful that his character had such a long run on the show before dying
“Well I knew it was coming and I'm surprised that Bellick lasted as long as he did as a character. I mean he was the prison guard for a season and that they actually kept that character going for 3½ years is pretty cool. I mean, if I could have predicted the future back then, I would have thought that he would have been done after they escaped from prison. So, I’m just grateful to be a part of it for as long as I have been.”

His most memorable moments while working on "Prison Break"
“Well, running around in my underwear for two episodes, I have say was drag. I was covered in dirt and oil and blood and it was really uncomfortable also being out in like the 120-degree heat in Texas. I, I was so dirty that I would come home from work at the end of the day and I remember one day we had a, a white carpet in our living room and I lay down on the carpet to play with our daughter, who’s – was about 3½ at the time and I got up and there was the imprint of me on the floor like the Shroud of Turin, and from then on my wife made me take a shower as soon as I got home, so I would say tighty whities was definitely a highpoint or a low point, depending on how you look at it.”

His character's transformation over the course of the show, from one of the "bad guys" to a character whose death is being mourned
“Yeah you know that’s the great thing about Bellick. He’s a really three-dimensional character. I think they wrote him beautifully that way. You know it just goes to show you that if you can actually feel for the guy when he gets killed then it tells you how far he’s come because in the first season everybody hated him. I remember in the first season everybody would give hugs to all the other characters. All the other guys would, when they’d see him in the airport or, they’d say, “Oh, can we buy you a drink or sign my autograph,” or whatever no one would talk to me. So to come around to the point where people actually feel bad for the guy when he croaks that’s a pretty good twist.”
