Robert Knepper
Character: Theodore Bagwell
Date of Birth: July 8th, 1959
Age: 48
Robert Lyle Knepper was born in Fremont, Ohio on 8th July 1959 but was also raised in Maumee, Ohio where his father, Donald Knepper, worked as a veterinarian. His love for acting may have begun when his mother, Pat Deck, who passed away in 2003, was working in the props department for the community theatre, thus getting him involved in the productions.
His passion for acting lead him to study drama after he graduated from Maumee High School in 1977 at Northwestern University which he quit in 1981 when he was about to graduate. During his time at Northwestern, Knepper also experienced professional roles in plays in Chicago but then after leaving Northwestern went to New York City and continued in theatre.
Knepper started his film career with That's Life in 1986 and was about to give up acting before he was cast as T-Bag in Prison Break and become a park ranger to support his family. Knepper is married to Tori Herald and has one son with her, Benjamin Peter Knepper.
He is currently filming "Hitman" and has only revealed that his character is "a Russian bad guy".
Theodore Bagwell
You don't want to be stuck sharing a cell with T-Bag (Robert Knepper). You don't want to be on T-Bag's bad side either. In short, you don't want anything to do with T-Bag at all. T-Bag is one of the most dangerous and notorious predators, if not THE most dangerous in Fox River.
T-Bag has lead a life of crime since practically the minute he could walk. As a child, he was often caught vandalising and assaulting animals. When he was 10 years old, he was caught trying to set fire to his teacher's house and was sent to juvenile hall. That was when he joined the Alliance for Purity, a white supremacy group.
As T-Bag grew older, his crimes became more serious and harmful. His offences included: battery, assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder. He was arrested and sent to Alabama's Donaldson maximum security prison for four years, where he became leader of the Alliance for Purity. After finishing his sentence, T-Bag went on a murdering spree across Alabama, making him one of America's most wanted men.
T-Bag was finally jailed for life after kidnapping, raping and murdering six students after his girlfriend Susan Hollander (K.K. Dodds) recognised him on the television and called the police. He may be seeking revenge against her after he escapes.
Not wanting him back with his fellow members of the Alliance of Purity in Donaldson, T-Bag was sent to Fox River where he promptly began his own branch of the cult. The Alliance of Purity is currently one of the most powerful gangs in Fox River.
Not being forgoing his old ways, T-Bag hunts down young men and fellow inmates to fulfill his needs. His first voluntary partner was Jason Buchanan, also known as Maytag (Brian Hamman), who was killed in a riot. After Maytag, T-Bag was given Seth Hoffner a.k.a Cherry (Blaine Hogan) as a "present" by his friends. Seth was obviously uncomfortable and depressed about the situation but was too afraid to say anything to T-Bag. Seth eventually approached Michael in the showers and asked for help, but Michael's ears were deaf to his pleas. Shortly after, Seth hanged himself. Michael blamed himself and was convinced that he could've stopped it.
T-Bag had far from a perfect home. As Captain Brad Bellick broadcasted just before the riot, T-Bag's father raped his sister who had Down's Syndrome and T-Bag was the result. Bellick insulted T-Bag and called him "the inbred child of a retard".
When Michael arrived at Fox River, T-Bag wanted him as one of his "partners" and tried to flirt with him and flatter him into it, "One thing's for sure, you're just as pretty as advertised. Prettier even." When Michael refused, he was already in T-Bag's bad books. A few days later, during the riot, Maytag was killed and T-Bag thought that Michael had done it and wanted his revenge.
T-Bag finds the hole by accident during the second riot and threatens them by saying either he's in or he'd "sing like Johnny Cash". The rest of the inmates in the escape group despise T-Bag but have to let him in. Abruzzi and T-Bag had it in for each other from day one.
T-Bag escaped with the rest of the inmates, and knowing that Abruzzi would try to dispose of him, he handcuffed himself to Michael. T-Bag knew that Abruzzi wouldn't be getting rid of Michael because he held information about the whereabouts of Fibonacci that he desperately wanted. However, T-Bag underestimated Abruzzi and had his hand cut off by an axe.
T-Bag was left behind by the inmates and was last seen running alone in the woods.
