The Hollywood hunk plays brooding protagonist Michael Scofield in the hit US drama.
However, before he was chosen for the role, the gorgeous actor was handpicked by pop singer Mariah for her 2005 video We Belong Together.
Wentworth insists that the music video placed him well and truly in the media spotlight and that he would not be where he is today if not for Mariah.
'Mariah's an international icon,' he explained.
'The two days I spent working on her video did more for my career, gave me more exposure, than anything I'd done before Prison Break. I'm grateful for the opportunity.'
In a recent interview with German magazine InStyle, Wentworth also revealed that he would love to have a girlfriend and start a family, but that his career takes priority at the moment.
