'Prison Break's T-Bag explains bird book

Prison Break actor Robert Knepper has spoken about the mystery of the bird book possessed by his character T-Bag on the show.

Knepper told Fox's All Access: "Little by little, in each episode, certain words pop out - certain diagrams, certain colours. Suddenly T-Bag spills some tea on the leaf of a page and boom - a clue comes out."

He also compared the plot function of the book, previously owned by the deceased Whistler, to Michael Scofield's tattoo. "It is like Went's character in the first season. You see a little bit of a tattoo and then you see a bit more," he said.

"There's a metaphor there, there's a simile there, there's an idea there. All that stuff in the tattoo comes out and you realise that it's the whole escape plan for the prison."

He added: "What we hope to find out in the book is a similar kind of thing. Where is the main bad guy? Where is The Company? I don't know for sure because I don't look ahead in the scripts."
