A cynical young man

Wentworth's parents met and fell in love when they were studying at Yale University. 1On June 2nd, 972, our hero Miller III, Earl of Wentworth, landed in Oxfordshire, England. Grandma gave little Wentworth his present name. The name comes from Jane Austen's famous novel character "Colonel Wentworth". Actually, Wentworth is a surname, so Wentworth's name consists of two surnames. Wentworth means: "Wentworth" = a river in Northumberland, England, and "Worth" = here. Little Miller was born with charming green eyes. He spent his childhood in Oxfordshire, when his father won the Roche Scholarship and continued to study law in Oxford. After his father finished his studies, his family moved back to new york. Wentworth recalled that he was instilled with an idea from an early age. If you want to engage in a job, you must stick to it and never give up halfway. Every day before going out to school, his father would say a word' accumulation' to him. "Every exam, every question and answer with the teacher, and every conversation with the teacher will affect your final grade and be beneficial to your future study and life. All the nuances you can't perceive will be the cornerstone of your great success. " It is this attitude towards life and his first stage experience that seems to determine his future career direction and become an actor. And his father played a very big role unconsciously. Miller recalled: "My first performance was in kindergarten. We're going to play dinosaur pantomime, and I'll play Tyrannosaurus Rex. At that time, we all needed to make our own clothes. Most children use various colors of paper to make dinosaur headdresses to wear on their heads, while my father made a huge faucet out of other materials in a whimsical way. On the day of the performance, when I walked onto the stage wearing that thing, everyone was shocked ... the scene was very sensational. " Throughout school, he participated in various stage performances as long as his parents allowed him.

When he entered Middlewood High School in Brooklyn, for the first time in his life, his mind was greatly hurt. In the sixth grade, Wentworth decided to describe his family history in a homework assignment. His girlfriend didn't know that Wentworth was a hybrid (African-American, Jamaican, British, German, French, Dutch, Syrian and Lebanese), but when she learned this, she even said to Wentworth, "Go back to the plantation, nigger!" This is the first and last time that he felt that he was greatly hurt because of his family lineage. Then they moved to weekley and Wentworth and went to Quark Valley Middle School. After graduating from Quark Valley High School, Wentworth entered Princeton University. He himself said, "I grew up in an environment where traditional education is paramount. Everyone thinks that I should take a life route that they think is reasonable. "

Wentworth was particularly worried that his classmates and roommates would not accept him before registering for school. He doesn't know how to explain his lineage. Does he have to explain everything to new friends every time he meets them? At this time, his parents gave him a very good suggestion. You can fill your dormitory with our family photos, so that when your friends come to your dormitory to see these photos, they will immediately understand everything, and you don't have to explain it deliberately. In fact, Wentworth was very extreme because of discrimination and injury, and he did not agree with his origin. From Middlewood to Princeton, his bad state is accompanied by a bad reputation and the nickname "smelly". "I used to have a bad attitude, but now I'm a good boy," Wentworth recalled. This bad attitude caused him a lot of trouble when he was studying at Princeton from 65438 to 0994. Later, he was exposed after the success of human stain. The following is a report in the famous magazine The New Yorker: "He published a cartoon in Princeton Daily satirizing Professor Cornell West, an African-American professor who was poached by Harvard University. This cartoon depicts a white student imagining Professor West's first class. The professor said,' I am most qualified to talk about the topic of today's class, which is the sense of rhythm-why don't you have it, and how to master the rhythm.' This cartoon also describes Mr. West as' newly bought', which is a student's evaluation of a professor. In fact, Wentworth just made an unintentional remark, but the result was misunderstood by readers as malicious racial discrimination. Anyone who doesn't know Wentworth's background thinks that this cartoon is mocking the black professor as a new slave bought by Harvard. Later, this incident caused a great uproar, and many people wrote letters to protest. Finally, this incident was published in Time magazine, and Wentworth became a sensational controversial figure. In the whole incident, go never used his identity to justify his actions, but chose silence. Wentworth thinks, "If others don't understand my intention, I don't need to bother to explain. For most people, I'm just the name they saw in the newspaper. They don't know me, and most of them treat me as a white man. " Many years later, when Wentworth saw the script of "The Stain of Human Nature", he felt that he was very suitable for this role, but he was also a little worried about whether he would only play the role of black people after playing this role. But I finally went to the interview. Wentworth told Debbie Aquila, the director in charge of the interview, about her life and mentioned the scandal in Princeton. Venter's sincerity touched Deb Venter's initial success. In the second interview, Wen Zheng left a deep impression on the director, but before getting the role, Wen Zheng was asked to provide proof of his life experience. Winter recalled that when he stood in front of the copier and copied his family's photo albums, he looked at the faces of his ancestors and imagined everything they had experienced. For a moment, he didn't know whether such efforts were worth it. Fortunately, got finally got the role, and he hugged everyone present. After leaving, he called his mother with gratitude and reported the good news. After the film was finished, Winter wrote a letter of apology to Kornel West, but there was no reply. Coincidentally, the actor who played Coleman's mother in The Stain of Human Nature was a friend of Professor West, so when Professor West appeared at the premiere of The Stain of Human Nature in new york, the professor gave Winter a hug and they finally settled their differences. After this incident, Wentworth devoted himself to his studies and joined the school's male choir "tigertones", so he no longer set foot in such sensitive events. Wentworth played time like this. "This year, we toured all over the country. In summer, we went to Europe. We earn lunch money by performing in the street. This is the best way for you to observe and understand the world. "

In his last year at Princeton University, Wentworth decided to write a paper on English literature, which is about how to know and feel himself in the age when white men are dominant. This paper has far-reaching significance, including Wentworth's personal experience and sentiment for many years, and even influenced his future career, making him understand how to be an excellent actor with black blood in the Hollywood world.

Hollywood dream

1995 Wentworth, who graduated from English literature, is facing employment problems. "Princeton is a very conservative university. One third of the graduates will stay in school to continue their studies, and then one third will go to other universities or places like Wall Street. Being an actor is really the biggest adventure in my life. " He abandoned all his depression and moved from new york to Los Angeles just to enter the film and television industry. His plan is to become an executive producer, hiding behind the scenes and earning a steady income. At this time, he felt that being an actor was too risky, and he was sure to eat and starve. But Los Angeles is not so easy to mix, and he has never adapted to the cultural environment here. At first, no crew was willing to recruit him, so life has been in a state of looking for a job. "My first year here was a coolie, sending faxes or sorting out various documents, changing light bulbs and helping the boss feed the fish. It is said that a young man usually does these jobs when he first arrives in Hollywood. If there is a fire in the building on weekends, they will only call me a newcomer to deal with it. " At this stage, he has been trying to find his own position. "I go to the office every weekend because there is no air conditioning where I live, and Los Angeles is a stove. I wandered around the conference room, looking for food in the company kitchen and watching films issued by various production companies. One day I suddenly realized that I had been fantasizing about' If … I would …', but there was no if, so I decided to quit this life. " "It's a bit scary. I rushed into the boss's office and said,' You know, I want to do this. I want to be an actor. She said,' Yes, I have just been hired as a director by a TV company. I think you can follow me as my assistant. The salary of this job is 40 thousand dollars a year, which is an opportunity to make a fortune, far exceeding my minimum requirements. ""I've been thinking about what I want to do most and what I don't want to do. Every young person after graduation will face such a problem. Finally, I realized that if I accepted this job and did it well, I would live a comfortable life, but in fact, I would always regret not becoming an actor. But if I become an excellent actor, I will never regret not accepting the job as an assistant. " "So I have to refuse the boss's kindness. She said,' You are ruining your future, and you will regret it. But my attitude is firm. Even if I live a poor life from now on, I still need to act, just as important as I need air. He used to work in a bookstore. "His income is at the lowest level. He stands behind the counter with a tie and badge every day ... I measure myself. If you wait every day and want to have a rest every day, you won't have time to put your photos and resumes in an envelope and send them to every agent in every agency. You won't be an actor, and you can't even get a ticket. " At the worst time of Wentworth's life, he stared at all his possessions every day, thinking about what to pawn today to pay the rent.

After that, Wentworth attended an actor training class and studied for two or three years until 2002. "There is no need to receive formal training. Some actors will tell you that you must give up yourself when performing. But for me, acting is a process of self-discovery. When performing, you show all the self that you are usually unwilling to express or suppressed by the environment. I think the actor course is to make a middle-class young man abandon the inherent thinking and action mode of the middle class to the maximum extent, because we have been told what is appropriate and what is not appropriate all our lives. In my opinion, everyone needs indulgence, so why not use this indulgence to make money? "

He only played two bit roles in two TV series, 1998 and 1999, with a little income, and then no income at all. Then he had to go back to his original place to be a small clerk. "I'm glad she didn't say to me,' What's wrong? "I told you you would regret it, didn't I?" Since then, I have been writing contracts for big actors hired by some big production companies. More often, I just sit in a chair. I even want to study online and get a law degree. That time was completely wasted by me. In 2000, he appeared on some small TV programs and participated in a movie. 200 1 He didn't perform, except for a short film "Room 302". It seems that he still can't find his place in Hollywood. "Every day I am selected or eliminated in various interviews. This is the real Hollywood. " Then "The Stain of Human Nature" brought him a turn for the better, but in the end, Anthony Hopkins and Nicole Kidman were so excellent that Wentworth's performance was eclipsed. In the end, Wentworth was only one step away from success. From 2003 to the end of 2004, he was unemployed again. During this period, he began to think about my affairs again and occasionally did some theater work.

A change in attitude towards life

From 2003 to 2004, Wentworth learned the most important lesson in his life, which changed his outlook on life. "I was told that" The Stain of Human Nature "gave me the opportunity to become an actor, and at the same time, this film also opened several doors for me. But when I walked through these doors, I found that I was competing with a group of male stars who often appeared on the cover of magazines. Hollywood is a playground for fame and fortune. The latest trend is that when your movie is released, you must hold a big party to celebrate, invite celebrities from all walks of life to attend, and even take care of the pizza delivery person for the crew. At the same time, we should also accept more interviews and shooting invitations from magazines. This is definitely an incredible and frustrating experience, but in the end you find that you have to follow the rules of the game for yourself. " So he followed the rules of the game, accepted the invitation of many famous magazines, appeared on the cover, revealed his heart, and shot large films for famous men's fashion magazines, such as L 'UOMO, Vogue, Abercrombie and Fitch. The change of his attitude is also reflected in his interview. "I recently realized that the trick of an interview is not to think of yourself as an interviewer, and not to be careful not to make people dissatisfied." An interview is like attending a family dinner invited by a stranger. Never treat yourself as a guest, lest you knock over the cup and stain the carpet. You should think of yourself as a host and treat the interviewer who stands in front of you and measures your performance. "I realized that the difference between Anthony Hopkins and most actors is not the choice of roles. When an actor reads a script, he will first have a very specific role image in his mind, and there will be a concept of how to dress, how to walk, how to eat and talk, and so on. But most actors have doubts about their role concepts, so they often ask,' Is this right?' Do you like this? Does this work? This suspicion led them to lose the election in the end. And Anthony Hopkins, when he decides his own concept, will carry it out in a very certain way, no doubt, as if this role should be born like this. This change in attitude has made me more confident and comfortable in future interviews. "

He also observed and analyzed the operation mode of Hollywood, a complex system, and came to the following conclusion: "In this industry, it is easy to become a young Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks. People know how to deal with it. When they see you, they will say,' Ah, the young version of Tom Hanks.' . The old one is very successful, and this young one should do better. But when he realized that there was nothing special about the man in front of him, he immediately changed his face and said,' Now you can go out. It's no use just looking at your face. Come back when you can create something new. This change in attitude soon gave him a stable job opportunity. In 2004, he participated in another short film, The Hours, which is also a prison drama. Coincidentally, a few months later, he was told to attend an interview for the TV series Prison Break. "When I walked into the interview room, I was probably ranked third. Among the more than 30 TV executives present at that time, many people immediately recognized me."

Wentworth recalled that from the beginning to the end of the interview, he got the role in a very short time. He interviewed on Monday and was told to hire on Tuesday and get the script on Friday. He doesn't have much time to worry about losing the election, but he must face the intense work quickly, because the interview is only a few days away from shooting. He was soon fascinated by the role of michael scofield in Prison Break, because the role was clever, cold and charming. Of course, he once wondered, "How can I fit into this role?" The role should keep a clear head even if it is held against the ribs by a knife. He is not a bad guy, but he is forced to do some bloody illegal things. This is not a horror movie, but a true story about a family: what is your bottom line in order to save a person you love deeply? In Michael's view, this is an escape route that breaks through the monitoring of high-wall power grid. This is a great TV play. Let's think deeply about family relations, what we should be loyal to, what kind of person we should be, and how to become a real man. In this story about family, society and choice, all the imprisonments are exactly the same as in reality. The Stain of Human Nature is more about emancipating the mind. In Prison Break, he plays a white male who meets two different factions in prison: white and black, and is asked to choose the camp. In the end, he chose neutrality, but at the same time he was oppressed by two factions. Does this sound familiar? Considering Wentworth's background, the crew of Prison Break specially designed the plot. He has never participated in any racial conflict from beginning to end and remains neutral.

At the end of June 2004, 1 1, they filmed the first episode and submitted it to the top management of the TV station for review. Whether the TV series can be secularized in the end depends on whether this episode attracts high-level interest. After filming the first episode, director Brett Ratner received an invitation from Mariah Carey to help her film two MTV films, Just Like That and We Belong Together. The director immediately thought that letting Wentworth play could enhance his popularity. As it turns out, Wentworth is more famous.

Tranceformer - A Portrait of Lars von Trier

Many people began to ask around, who is this handsome guy? Then I began to talk about Wentworth with relish, such as whether he was like Hayden christiansen or more like channing tatum. Once again, his background and race are discussed. Because Mariah Carey is also a mixed-race, people are curious whether Wentworth was chosen to participate in these two MTV films. Once again, Wentworth was lucky. He was chosen to play Ryan Hunt in the last two episodes of the TV series Joan of Arcadia, a demon who can also talk to God, just like the protagonist Joan.

After seeing Wentworth's outstanding performance in two MTVs and Joan of Arc in Acadia, the TV executives finally gave the green light for the start and continuation of the TV series Prison Break. Then he left Los Angeles and moved to Millennium Park in Chicago, which is close to the location of Prison Break.

The promotion of Prison Break was slow, but the promotion activities were fully rolled out and the effect came out. Film advertisements, TV advertisements and online advertisements were put into full play, even radio advertisements did not fall behind. Wentworth has once again become the focus of attention, but this time he is the most dazzling star of this TV series. Journalists rushed to interview him. Unlike when human stain was released, this time the reporter was more concerned about his private life, such as whether he was married or single. He said that he is single at present. "The standard for me to find a girlfriend is very simple, that is, my hands and feet are sound. My ideal girlfriend is like this:' She is also engaged in this industry, but she is not an actress, so she can understand the hardships of my fame, be willing to run around the set with me, and even stop me when I go too far and give me patient advice.' The reporter also asked about his personality, and he replied, "A rather boring person. I go to the library, I read a lot, and I eat in the subway. When I need to buy underwear, I will go to GAP. " When asked what he does in his spare time, he said that he never goes to bars, writes short stories or plays in his spare time, or goes out to eat with friends. A reporter asked him if he would play comedy in the future. He said that he was not a humorous person. If others think he is humorous, it must be a mistake.

On August 29th, 2005, the first two episodes of Prison Break were broadcast with excellent ratings, which is the highest discipline of Fox TV since 1998. He finally got the long-awaited breakthrough, just as he finally escaped from the prison where Hollywood buried talents, breathing fresh air and bathing in the brightest sunshine.

The truest Wentworth

He will pretend to be a person who eats healthy food, but in fact he is a standard couch potato (couch potato is a westerner who likes to sit on the sofa and watch TV and eat snacks). ), he commented on himself: "I am vulgar and boring, and I am not sexy at all. I don't like bars. I can destroy a whole bag of Oreos in 20 minutes, and of course I can't lose milk. " In case his house catches fire, he will save his PDA, some photo albums and wrapped clothes first. Usually, as long as I see a lady carrying a lot of bags, I will never walk away directly and ask her if she needs help at the meeting. If the plot requires good light and his grandmother agrees not to watch it, he will perform naked.

Taking part in Prison Break is his first TV play as the leading role. He has been a guest actor in many TV series. In Prison Break, he also participated in the production of special effects and personally filmed the scene where his toes were cut off. When talking about the cooperation with Mariah Carey on MTV, he said: "Maria wore the same wedding dress on MTV as when she got married in real life. Do you know that?/You know what? That wedding dress weighs at least 50 pounds. She ran to hug me, and a big bodyguard stood beside her and warned me:' Don't fall on Maria!' "

When talking about Prison Break, he said: "Sometimes when filming, I go to Starbucks, wearing loose T-shirts and shorts, and my whole tattooed arm is exposed. As a result, people before and after the queue kept their distance from me. In fact, I didn't deliberately exercise this role because I was lazy. Another reason is that Michael is not a perfect superhero. Like Jackie Chan, Michael is different because he has extraordinary wisdom. At the end of the first season of Prison Break, the two brothers finally escaped from prison, and the second season will be the story of their escape. Talking about the feelings between Michael and the doctor in the play, Wentworth said that there will be further sparks between them, but there are also many difficulties to overcome (first, Michael is a prisoner and plans to escape from prison, while Michael is still married). Wentworth also said that he would continue to be bald, one of the reasons is that it is easy to take care of, and the other reason is that Dominic, the actor of his brother in Prison Break, is bald, which makes them look more like brothers, which is also one of the selling points of this TV series.

Talking about the attention he got after he became famous overnight, GOT said that he realized that being on the cover of magazines, publicity activities and so on were all part of his job. But he feels that he is far from what people see in magazines. Wentworth really doesn't like what some magazine editors have done to his photos (removing moles on his face, changing the color of his eyes, etc.). As for his private life, he intends to keep a certain degree of mystery. Wentworth thinks his job is to try to entertain the audience in an hour. If the audience is entertained, his task is completed. As for private life (such as having a girlfriend, etc.). ), none of others' business.
