The highly-watched drama series will also feature appearances by Chris Vance and Danay Garcia, as the latest additions to the growing cast of Prison Break. Vance will be playing Whistler, a man who gets incarcerated in the same Panama prison as Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller). Garcia will be playing Whistler's attractive girlfriend, Sofia.

The second season's finale saw Michael Scofield with Theodore Bagwell (Robert Knepper) or better known as T-bag and Agent Alexander Mahone (William Fichtner) being imprisoned in Panama while Michael's girlfriend Sara Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies) and brother Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) were freed from their charges by testimony of Paul Kellerman (Paul Adelstein).

Paul Scheuring, Prison Break's executive producer and series creator, said on March that its third season will resolve most issues which have been presented in the earlier seasons and may feature the death of one of the brothers. He adds, "They got scattered in the winds?their stories became separate and defused. They will come back together again, (and) their conflicts and interactions will return."

About the third and upcoming season, he said, "It essentially will be a new chapter. It's going to return to the fundamental conceit, to the roots of what the show was about."

Garcia's upcoming role on Prison Break will be her first regular character portrayal in a television series, as she only previously appeared in one episode of CSI: Miamo, playing Camille Travez. She also appeared in 2006's award-winning horror film, Danika, where she played Myra. As of now, Garcia is concluding her project with the film From Mexico With Love, where she will appear as Maria. She is under the management of Travis Clark and is represented by the Stone Manners Agency.

Thirty five year old English actor Chris Vance, on the other hand, has worked on several television productions such as Kavanagh QC, Peak Practice, The Bill, Blue Heelers, Steelers, The Secret Life of Us and the Australian drama series, All Saints. He has also appeared in such films as Sexy Thing and Macbeth.
