Muse Watson (born July 20, 1948) is an American stage and screen actor. He is best known for his roles as Charles Westmoreland on the Fox television series Prison Break and Mike Franks in NCIS.

Biography

Enfant, Muse Watson est un jeune garçon très timide, qui a du mal à se remettre de la mort de son père, décédé alors qu'il n'a que 5 ans.

Loin d'être un élève brillant, la passion de Muse Watson pour la musique lui permet néanmoins d'entrer dans une école réputée où il se découvre un amour pour le théâtre après avoir joué dans une des pièces organisées par son école, La mégère apprivoisée de Shakespeare. Muse Watson enchaîne ensuite plusieurs pièces de théâtre, notamment Hamlet où il incarne un jeune anglais et L'Homme de la Manche où il tient le rôle principal, Don Quichotte.

La carrière d'acteur de Muse Watson ne débute qu'en 1989, dans le film Black Rainbow où il tient le rôle, certes court, d'un agent de police. Muse Watson joue ensuite des petits rôles dans deux films indépendants, La Servante écarlate (The Handmaid's Tale) et Blind Vengeance.

En 1993, après trois ans sans le moindre rôle où Muse Watson doit faire des petits boulots pour subvenir à ses besoins, il retrouve du travail dans Sommersby, un remake américain, abordant le thème de la guerre de Sécession, ce qui lui permet de rebondir en tant qu'acteur. En effet, en deux ans, Muse Watson tourne dans pas moins de cinq téléfilms.

1995 est d'ailleurs une année très fructueuse pour Muse Watson puisqu'il joue dans trois films : The Journey of August King, Amour et Mensonges et surtout Assassins où il tient l'un des rôles titres.

En 1997, Muse Watson obtient son premier vrai grand rôle qui le révèle aux yeux du public américain. Il utilise sa grande taille et sa forte présence physique pour créer le rôle de Ben Willis, le grand méchant dans le film d'horreur à grand succès Souviens-toi l'été dernier (1 et 2) où il poursuit une bande de jeunes adolescents. Il parodie d'ailleurs ce rôle en compagnie de l'une de ses partenaires, Jennifer Love Hewitt, dans un épisode de Saturday Night Live.

Muse Watson continue sur sa lancée en jouant dans Une nuit en enfer 2 : Le Prix du sang où il incarne C.W., puis dans Austin Powers 2 : L'Espion qui m'a tirée, en compagnie de Mike Myers et Heather Graham.

Muse Watson a ensuite une petite période à vide où il ne tient que des rôles mineurs dans des petits films comme Wild Turkey ou A Day Without a Mexican .

Muse Watson revient finalement sur le devant de la scène par l'intermédiaire du petit écran. Tout d'abord en tant qu'artiste invité ("guest star") de prestige dans plusieurs séries très populaires : CSI, Ghost Whisperer, Esprits criminels ou encore Close to Home : Juste Cause.

Il est engagé pour faire partie de la série révélation de l'année 2005, Prison Break, aux côtés de Wentworth Miller et Dominic Purcell, où il tient le rôle de Charles Westmoreland, alias D.B. Cooper, un vieux détenu qui aide Michael Scofield à s'échapper de prison pour sauver son frère qui risque la peine de mort dans la saison 1. Il refait une apparition dans la série lors de la saison 4.

À partir de 2006, Muse Watson se met régulièrement dans la peau de Mike Franks, le mentor de Jethro Gibbs dans NCIS : Enquêtes spéciales. Son personnage est abattu au terme de la 8e saison, mais il refera des apparitions lors de flashbacks.

En 2011, il participe à un épisode de la saison 3 de Castle, en incarnant Ivan Podofski, un collectionneur d'armes suspecté de meurtre.

Nine months after the death of his adoptive father, Jack Davenport, a Chicago journalist, obtains some of his possessions which lead Jack to discover his past. Jack receives an assignment to do a story in Dallas, Texas. Jack leaves days before Christmas Eve and decides to stay in Clearwater, Texas, his birthplace. One of the possessions left by his adoptive father was a mysterious photograph of Clearwater's oldest churches, taken in 1963. The church has a life-sized, wood carven nativity scene, that was carved by Joe Ottolman during the 1950s. He meets several townspeople along his search, such as Michael Curtis (the reverend of the church who has adopted a little girl from China, much like Steven Curtis Chapman did in real life); Naomi Williams, a Clearwater newspaper writer; Vanessa, a County Courthouse employee; Jimmy James, Clearwater's sheriff; the judge; and a maintenance worker at the church. Jack is told by the judge that releasing the identity of an adoptee's parents can cause suffering, as he points out that one adopted girl died three years earlier. Jack goes on to research the story of Joe Ottolman, who was in a car accident in 1945 that killed his wife, but his daughter survived. Joe worked for ten years on the Nativity carving. In 1963, Joe made the same mistake and was in a car accident again. His daughter Carmen Ana Ottolman, gave birth to a boy on December 24, 1963, but Carmen died two days later. Joe set his grandson up for adoption, then he disappeared from the presses and no one knew whether or not he was alive. Naomi, who helped Jack gather information from previous newspapers, tried to get Jack's birth records with the help of her friend, Venessa, who works there, but they are gone. When Jack finds this out, he discovers that the judge was trying to hide them from him. The judge then reveals that Carmen Ottolman was his mother. On his 40th birthday, Jack is still in shock of hearing this. He sleeps on the bench near the church, in front of the nativity scene. When the maintenance worker discovers him there, he brings him inside the church for some coffee. The maintenance worker then reveals himself to be Joe Ottolman, Jack's grandfather. That night, Jack's wife Megan arrives in Texas, and Jack tells her everything that happened. Megan reveals that they are going to be parents. On Christmas Night, the townspeople of Clearwater gather around the nativity scene while the reverend talks about it. After this, Jack tells his grandfather that he is going to be a great-grandfather.
