Wentworth speelde in videoclips van Mariah Carey van 'It's Like That' en 'We Belong Together'. Wentworth recently claimed in a magazine that he did not open the cat shelter allegedly opened in some rumours, on the grounds that he is deathly allergic to animals.
Wentworth(on working out for Prison Break): I made a decision not to work out because I'm lazy and also, the character is not a superhero. I didn't want him to be a buff guy with Jackie Chan moves because the point is he's smarter than your average Joe.
Wentworth: This has been the biggest year of my professional life. I get to "play ball" with incredible character actors. When you're sharing screen time with Robert Knepper, Wade Williams, or Peter Stormare, you're just along for the ride. I remember watching Law&Order and thinking that Sam Waterston served up amazing work episode after episode. I told me representation to forget about feature films--if I can get a series, how satisfying will that be? You're working with people you admire, and you're on every week being appreciated. It's like winning the lottery. One in a million.
Wentworth: My character [in Prison Break] needs to be formidable. In reality, I'm not very tough at all.
Wentworth: My last meaningful relationship was about a year ago and lasted only a few months, but it was hot and heavy; those are the best kind.

Wentworth(on his character in Prison Break): Michael was a success in his pre-prison life. He had a career, friends, girlfriends, and yet he was willing to throw that away and go to jail to save his brother. That's not something your average Joe would do.

Wentworth: I think the character I play [on Prisonbreak] is potentially sexy. (

Wentworth: You might look at my CV and see I've had 12 jobs, but I've been to over 450 auditions so I've heard 'no' a lot more than I've heard 'yes'. So if I go in looking only to meet my own standards, then that will make taking that rejection a little bit easier. And when I do get that job it will seem like icing on the cake.
Wentworth says, "When I got to college, acting suddenly seemed like a very risky proposition and all my friends were going to law school or med school or Wall Street."
