  Prison Break is a huge hit thanks to its handsome star, Wentworth Miller.His actor, Michael Scofield, is the engine that drives the show.

  Michael Scofield is one of the most interesting personalities on television today.But what about the man behind the character?

  Miller, 35, is a hard guy to figure out.He does not come from a normal background and has never lived his life in a typical way.

  Milier didn't take a direct path to fame and fortune.He graduated from Princeton University in 1995, not with a degree in theatre or film, but in English.He didn't even act when he was in college.His only performance experience was in his university's singing group.Yet, at graduation Miller still decided to make the move to Hollywood.

  Miller has always been different.Although he is American, he was born in Britain when his father was studying there.His family background is also a special mix of cultures.“My father is black and my mother is white.That means I have always been caught in the middle.I could be either one, which can make you feel out of place,”Miller says.

  Following his unusual path, Miller did not start trying out for films and TV shows when he first got to Hollywood.Instead, he worked as a lowly production assistant.Not what you would expect from a Princeton graduate.Howeven, it all paid of for Miller in the end

  In 2002, Miller played a role in the drama Dinotopia.He starred as a thoughtful and shy man.Producers remembered his performance when they were casting Prison Break two years later.With a golden globe nomination(提名)and another season of Prison Break on his resume(履历), Miller seems ready to take over all of Hollywood.

  In the last few years our communications network has been growing at a very fast pace.The old fixed-line telephone has been replaced by mobile phones.Short Message Service(SMS).e-mail and instant messaging(IM).And there are other new ways of communicating related to the Internet, such as blogs.

  A recent study in Switzerland shows the different roles that communication methods can play.Stefana Broadbent is a scientist at Swisscom, Switzerland’s largest telecoms company.She studied several hundred consumers and their reactions to telecommunications.She found people are very good at choosing the besttechnology for each situation.

  “IM is used to tell you I miss you; e-mail is to organize our dinner; voice mail is to say, I'm late; and SMS to continue our talk on the way,”says Broadbent, joking a little.

  Landline phones are an open channel.That means people use them to talk about non-private things.That's because other family members or colleagues have access to the phone.Mobile phones are more for adding last-minute information.SMS is used for close friends to keep in touch.It is very efficient and pri-vate.The messages are often related to personal secrets.People often use e-mail for online communication with bigger social groups.That includes ordinary friends.Or it is used for exchanging pictures, music, and other content among a social network.IM, such as MSN and QQ, is a continuous channel.Users open an instant messaging channel for the day.Then they just keep it open while they do other activities.Managing a blog is like creating your own independent club on the Internet for friends to visit.It is often the centre of a small group of friends who share the same hobbies.
