She claimed that “this sword definitely has two edges”, as she recalled. “I once had an actor spit in my face on this show. And I said, “Oh shit.”

Callies, 46, promised fans she would speak in detail about the incident in a future episode of the “Prison Breaking” podcast with former co-star Paul Adelstein.

“We’ll talk about it someday, but… there were certain things. For example, I came home a few evenings and had to spend an hour trying to convince my husband not to take someone to the hospital,” she added.

The “Walking Dead” star added: “Some of the guys were great and some of them were just gentlemen.”

Although Callies didn’t mention any names, the hit series starred Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller, and for many of the actors it was the beginning of a newfound fame, which often led to chaos.

Initially, the mother of one did not want to watch the program again because she was afraid it would lead her into a “spiral” of questions: “What did I let them do?” What did I let them say? What have I endured? What didn’t I report?”

Callies also explained that she “had no scenes with women,” which she described as a “missed opportunity.”
