Actor Sarah Wayne Callies says she faced rampant misogyny and, at one point, was even spat on by another actor while working on the show Prison Break.

In an episode of Rachel Bilsons Broad Ideas podcast , released on Monday, Callies opened up about her rough but rewarding experience working on the Fox drama, which originally ran from 2005 to 2009 before being revived for a fifth season in 2017.

During the chat, she told hosts Bilson and Olivia Allen how recording Prison Breaking with Sarah and Paul, Callies new rewatch podcast with Prison Break co-star Paul Adelstein, gave her the opportunity to reevaluate everything that happened while making the show good and bad.

Noting how it took years for her to revisit her five-season run on Prison Break, Callies said that she initially found herself unable to watch beyond the parts that were toxic and painful.

But the Walking Dead star said screening the show almost 20 years after its premiere made her immensely grateful for all the opportunities her breakout role provided, despite the rampant misogyny and all of the challenges that arose from being the only woman around on set.
