Meanwhile, the Golden Globe-nominated actor recently announced that he wouldn't be returning to Prison Break as main character Michael Scofield, despite plans to continue the story.
In a statement posted to social media, Miller explained: "I'm not concerned for myself. I can't be 'bullied' in this space. I have too much power. 'Delete. Block. Deactivate'.
"But I take seriously the possibility of queer kids visiting here, recently out of the closet or exploring the idea... I don't want them exposed to bullshit.

"On a related note... I'm out. Of PB. Officially. Not [because] of static on social media (although that has centered the issue). I just don't want to play straight characters. Their stories have been told (and told)," he continued.
He concluded by saying he was "sorry" for the disappointment this would cause to fans hoping for more seasons.
