Dominic was born in England, but raised in Australia where he attended two Acting schools there: Australian Theatre for Young People and the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. He attended the WAAofPA with X-Men's Hugh Jackman and Francis O'Connor.
In 1997, he landed a leading role in Raw FM. He soon found himself playing opposite Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible 2 before calling the US his home.
Purcell is no stranger to Fox audiences. After being in 2 short-lived dramas, John Doe and North Shore, show number 3 (Prison Break) proved to be the charm.
Other credits include: theater roles in Antony and Cleopatra, Angels in America, The Pillars of Society and Romeo and Juliet; television credits in First Daughter and Moby Dick; movie credits in Blade: Trinity, 3-Way, Equilibrium and The Visitors.
Lincoln Burrows
Unlike his younger brother Michael Scofield, Lincoln Burrows was a high school drop out. He dropped out during tenth grade and turned to crime to support himself and his younger brother. Prior to being convicted for the murder of the Vice President's brother, he had been convicted of theft, criminal damage to property, possession of drug paraphernalia, and battery. Lincoln had a son, LJ with Lisa Rix.
When Michael was 18, Lincoln borrowed $90,000 for Michael's education, telling him that it was half of his mother's life insurance because he knew that Michael would never accept it otherwise. Lincoln was determined for Michael not to waste his potential and turn out like him.
However, Lincoln was unable to pay back the $90,000, and eventually was given an ultimatum: "Kill the Vice-President's brother and your debt will be wiped away. If you don't, your son will be killed". Not having a choice, Lincoln took a gun from Bo, and went to the parking lot. When he took the gun from Bo, he tried two different guns out, thus planting his fingerprints on one he was going to use, and on one he gave back to Bo. The latter gun was used in the murder.
However when he arrived at the parking garage, Terrence Steadman was already "dead". Caught on camera with the gun pointing towards the car, a little bit of professional "decorating" of the video showed Lincoln firing the gun, thus proving his so-called guilt.
Lincoln Burrows pled not guilty, but was found so and was then sentenced to death by electrocution. His death was set for 11th May. His execution was delayed for two weeks when his father sent documents to the judge, giving Michael more time for the escape.
After his son's arrest, he was granted permission to visit him, a rare occurrence. However it was soon discovered why. The prison van was crashed, in hope that Lincoln would be killed. However, he was saved by his father, who then revealed to him why he was being targeted; Lincoln's father had leaked classified information about Ecofield. Hence, in order to capture Lincoln's father, "The Company" put Lincoln on death row to force him out into the open.
Lincoln Burrows is currently on the run with his brother and several other dangerous inmates.
