William Fichtner wheelchair

In real life, Fichtner who you might recognize from movies like The Perfect Storm, Black Hawk Down, and The Dark Knight does not use a wheelchair to get around. Superstore’s Garrett is also played by able-bodied actor Colton Dunn and the actress who portrays Delilah in NCIS doesn’t use a wheelchair either.

William Fichtner dark knight

In ‘The Dark Knight’ he plays the Bank Manager who gets shot in the leg when The Joker and his goons are robbing it. Getting shot in the leg would give him a reason to walk with a cane like The Riddler.

Just before the Joker leaves, the bank manager starts talking to him and the Joker puts a grenade into his mouth while saying “Whatever doesn’t kill you simply makes you stranger.” The Joker leaves pulling the pin and turns out the grenade was a fake that just spewed GREEN smoke.

Was the green smoke another subtle hint to the Riddler and was the fact that the Joker didn’t kill him mean that he would be a “stranger” after not being killed in the robbery? Why would Christopher Nolan give a big named and well-recognized actor such a small cameo unless he had plans to bring him back in the future?

William Fichtner Prison Break

Alexander “Alex” Mahone is a fictional character portrayed by Fichtner in the American television series Prison Break. Mahone is introduced in the premiere of the second season as a special agent in the Federal Bureau of Investigation, specializing in manhunts for escaped prisoners for 14 years.

When the protagonist of the series, Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), successfully orchestrates the escape of eight prisoners from Fox River State Penitentiary, Mahone is assigned to spearhead the task force assembled to recapture the fugitives and manages to capture four of them.

He is later arrested in Panama and imprisoned in Penitenciaría Federal de Sona in the second-season finale. Mahone manages to escape and is coerced into taking down the Company, a secret group of multinationals which exerts an influence on the White House. An assassin is hired by the Company to murder his son, and Mahone spends the majority of season four seeking revenge.

The writers created Mahone’s character in the second season so that there would be a fugitive pursuer who was not corrupt. When the writers saw that the number of antagonists was increasing, they decided to make him the alter ego of Scofield. The writers try to let Mahone inhabit a gray area, shifting the audience’s sympathy for the character.

Fichtner, attracted to the potential of the character, was cast as Mahone just one day before filming began for the second season; he signed on for only two seasons but was convinced to appear in a third.
