Before Prison Break, William Fichtner played Sheriff Tom Underlay in Invasion, which was cancelled in 2006. He is currently starring in Prison Break as Agent Alexander Mahone, trying to catch the Fox River 8 on the run.
Alexander Mahone
14 years with the FBI should be enough experience to catch 8 escaped convicts, but Mahone has his work cut out with Scofield. Alexander Mahone is the first person to crack several of Michael's codes on his tattoo's. In fact, Mahone has gotten reasonably close to catching Michael on two occasions, but Scofield managed to slip away.
There have been clues to suggest that this is not Mahone's first difficult assignment, with the name "Oscar Shales" constantly popping up causing Mahone stress and anxiety which results in his addiction to midazolam, which he keeps hidden in his pen. Midazolam has powerful hypnotic, skeletal muscle relaxant and sedative properties.
Michael Scofield revealed to the world why the name Oscar Shales causes Mahone so much distress, Mahone murdered him and buried him in his back garden. This secret had cost Mahone his family, his wife Pam and his 5 year old son, Cameron.
Mahone tracked down four of the Fox River 8, Abruzzi, Apolskis, Franklin and Patoshik who are all deceased except for Franlin. After unsuccessfully chasing Michael Scofield around the country, Mahone tracked him down in Panama, South America where they are both currently incarcerated in Sona.
