It's been a little less than a year since "Prison Break" went off the air, but that hasn't stopped Wentworth Miller from becoming a big star.



Rockin' a lot more, er, hair, the curvy 37-year-old went for a much needed hike in L.A. on Thursday.

This is how he rolls.

The "Prison Break" cast has remained fairly silent about the deadly DUI car crash caused by co-star Lane Garrison ... until now.


On Monday's episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Wentworth Miller talks about the tragic accident, calling it "a horrific mistake" made by "a very sweet kid." He doesn't fully defend Garrison though, saying, "There are no excuses. Nothing is going to bring that boy back ... I was really proud of him that he stepped forward and took full responsibility."

On Monday, Garrison was moved from the California Institute for Men to Twin Towers jail, where he will remain until official sentencing on October 31.

As part of a spread in the latest issue of GQ Germany, Wentworth Miller says "My father is black and my mother is white. Therefore, I could answer to either, which kind of makes me a racial Lone Ranger, at times, caught between two communities." And the "Prison Break" star shall lead them!

But hang on a sec: The quote is four years old and was uttered when Miller played a biracial man in the movie, "The Human Stain." While Miller may not seem to be anything but lily white, his lineage is all over the map; he is of African-American, Jamaican, English, German, Cherokee and Jewish descent on his father's side, and of Russian, French, Dutch, Syrian and Lebanese descent on his mother's side.

What great mystery will we next learn about Wentworth?
