Sarah Wayne Callies is opening up about her time on Prison Break, and it's not all good. Via Page Six, the actress, who starred on the Fox series as Sara Tancredi, claimed on the podcast Broad Ideas that she was spat on by a male co-star. The claim was brought up when she explained that she had been rewatching the drama, reflecting on "all of the challenges" she had dealt with due to being "the only woman around."

"I've had an actor on that show spit in my face. And I was like, 'Holy s—.'" Callies shared. While she didn't reveal who that actor was, she did promise that she would get into more details on an episode of her Prison Breaking podcast with co-star Paul Adelstein. "We will talk about it someday, but … there were things," she added. "Like, I would go home some nights and have to spend an hour talking my husband out of going to hospitalize somebody."

Callies also assured, "Some of the guys were great, and some of them were totally gentlemen." She shared that despite some of the challenges on set, she "made lifelong friends" with some of her colleagues from the show. Additionally, Callies explained she "didn't have scenes with women," which was a "missed opportunity." Even though it sounds like Prison Break wasn't the best job she had, Callies still had a good time because of some of the people she had worked with.
