Faith & Spirit Quote by Wentworth Miller

“Have a little faith” works here less as a cheesy motivational bumper sticker than as a piece of actor-to-audience smuggling. Miller borrows Scofield’s line from Prison Break - a character whose entire mythos is built on calm certainty under impossible pressure - and then quietly admits what the show can’t: that belief isn’t a superpower, it’s often a lonely posture you hold when the room has moved on without you.

The intent is twofold. First, he’s translating a fictional catchphrase into a personal ethic, inviting fans to treat the series’ survivalist optimism as portable. Second, he’s reframing “faith” away from religion or naïveté and toward endurance: the ability to keep showing up when external validation is absent. That “only one who believed in myself” line is the tell. It’s not triumphal; it’s a confession about scarcity - of support, of certainty, of safety.

The subtext is industry-specific. Acting careers are built on rejection disguised as professionalism: auditions that go nowhere, networks that pass, critics that flatten you into a type. Miller positions faith as self-authorship in a marketplace that constantly edits you. The context also matters: his public persona has included candor about mental health and identity, which adds extra charge to the idea of believing “in the face of the odds.” He’s not romanticizing struggle; he’s offering a pragmatic script for surviving it - one that fans already know by heart, now given real-world stakes.
