A star of a hit 00s TV drama looks completely unrecognisable<\/a> just seven years after the hit series ended.<\/p>\n

Running for four seasons<\/a> from 2005 until 2008, Prison Break starred Dominic Purcell as Lincoln Burrows, who has been sentenced to death for a crime<\/a> he did not commit, with his younger brother Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller<\/a>) devising an elaborate plan to help his brother escape prison and clear his name.<\/p>\n

It then returned for a TV film in 2009, as well as being revived for a final season in 2017.<\/p>\n

Before starring in Prison Break, Australian actor Dominic appeared in shows including Home and Away, Heartbreak High and House.<\/p>\n

Since the show ended<\/a>, he\u2019s been seen in episodes of Castle, The Flash, Supergirl, Arrow and Batwoman.<\/p>\n

Last year the actor also married Tish Cyrus<\/a>, the mother of pop superstar Miley.<\/p>\n

However, during a recent outing, Dominic looked completely different, sporting a long white beard.<\/p>\n

Ditching his usual clean-shaven look, the actor has now grown out a bushy beard, which was seen while he filled up his car at a service station in Los Angeles recently.<\/p>\n

The actor appeared to also be trying to go incognito, wearing a baseball cap.<\/p>\n

Despite his immense success, Dominic previously said he had no intention to be an actor, and his dream was to actually \u2018play cricket for Australia\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018I never grew up wanting to be an actor. I had a real passion for landscaping, which I did when I finished school. Becoming an actor was more accidental,\u2019 he explained.<\/p>\n

\u2018My girlfriend at the time was a model and I was in the casting room waiting to pick her up. The casting lady said to me I had the right head for this commercial they were casting.<\/p>\n

\u2018Long story short, I got the job, made a ton of money on it. I gave up landscaping thinking for sure I\u2019m going to be a movie star after that commercial,\u2019 he told Humans of Surfing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u2018But I sucked so bad at acting at the time that I went back to landscaping\u2026but the fuse had been lit. I ended up getting into one of the best drama schools in Australia where I trained with one of my good mates, Hugh Jackman. It was a very surreal beginning.\u2019<\/p>\n

Earlier this year it was reported Dominic would be reuniting on screen again with his former co-star Wentworth, in a series titled Snatchback.<\/p>\n

The official logline for the show teases: \u2018Inspired by the life of a real covert intelligence officer who is still active in the field today, the series follows a highly skilled privately\u202fcontracted team of operatives as they recover hostages across the globe\u202ffrom some of the most exotic, and equally dangerous locations on the planet.\u2019<\/p>\n

Prison Break is streaming on Netflix and Disney Plus.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
