Michael Schofield

I have never watched the American series "Prison Break", being more of a "Lost" man myself. However I do know that the lead character of PB goes by the name of Michael Schofield, and for this I am eternally grateful. A full 12 years I have spent in this country, and never once has a person acknowledged my surname as being anything other than a god-awful unpronounceable Anglo-Saxon atrocity. It's been misread, misspelt, and flung back in my face. But now -- thanks to Michael -- all has changed. Suddenly it is: "Ah, oui!!! Schofield, comme Michael!!!" Judging by the frequency of this reaction, the number of people in France who watch "Prison Break" must be absolutely enormous. So thank you, the devisers of PB. Next - can someone at "Lost" create a character called Hugh, please.

I have always loved the name Schofield - always thought it sounded very distinguished.
Perhaps it takes an American to appreciate it.
Hope you are well!
