Dominic Purcell's grandfather is Norwegian, his grandmother is Irish, Dominic was born on February 17, 1970 in England, and his childhood was spent in Australia, in Sydney. As Dominic said, having already become a famous actor, in his youth he was interested in surfing, beer and girls. The world of cinema might not have known about Dominic Purcell, but one day he went to the movies. Not for the first time, of course, but this time was fateful. The acting game shocked Dominic so much that he began to seriously prepare for this challenge. He studied at the drama school, then at the Australian Theatre for Young People, and then at the Western Academy of Performing Arts.
In 1997, Dominic Purcell was cast for the role of Ulrich in the film Mission Impossible 2, filmed in Australia. And got the part. And soon received an invitation to Hollywood and a green card. By that time, Dominic was married (his wife was a fellow student at the Academy) and had a child. We moved to America with the whole family.
Fame Dominic Purcell brought a role in the series Prison Break. According to the actor himself, English was a problem for him. In Australia, English is spoken, but in its own dialect, strine. The actor needed “pure” English, in which he had to practice a lot.
At first, the young actor was pleased with fame, but then the crowd of fans began to tire him. “I know I wouldn’t be who I am without my fans, and I am grateful to them,” Dominic said, “but sometimes the attention to me goes beyond all limits.”
One of Dominic’s ways of expressing himself is by tattooing his hands. He has tattooed the names and birth dates of the four children, the Little Mermaid, the whale, and he intends to keep adding images to his skin. /
