Hunky and brawny,
Dominic Purcell embodies vigor and dynamism. This hunk keeps his body perfectly trimmed with his outdoor activities and sports endeavors. A well-admired celebrity, this British-born Australian actor has worked in theater, film and on television. Luckily, his rash pursuit of the showbiz world successfully brings him in the limelight with a number of notable roles. Named “Sexiest Dad” and one of People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2006, this wholesome family guy has etched his positive reputation worldwide. His inclusion on the popular series
Prison Break further escalates his thriving career.
Born on February 17, 1970 in Merseyside, England, Dominic Purcell previously worked as a landscaper. Out of impulse, he applied to the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts and was accepted. As an actor, he got his first break on the Australian television series
Raw FM as Granger Hutton. His other acting credits included
John Doe, House, Blade: Trinity, North Shore, Level Sven, Town Creek, The Lost World and
Mission: Impossible II to name a few.
Purcell plays Lincoln Burrows on the suspense-thriller series
Prison Break. As one of the lead characters of the show, he intensively gives zest to the story line and brings keenness to his fugitive role. Fierce yet bighearted, he consistently depicts devotion to his brother Michael Scofield, played by
Wentworth Miller, and his son Lincoln “LJ” Burrows Jr., played by
Marshall Allman. His quest to save himself, as well as his family, is a conniving plot, which gets the viewers hooked.
