This October Prison Breaker Wentworth Miller returns to television. According to TVLine, he will guest star on the FOX medical drama House. Now don’t get too excited; Miller won’t find himself behind bars again (if you don’t already know, the season begins with Dr. House in jail for driving his car into Cuddy’s house). Instead he will serve as a patient of the week. Show creator David Shore teases, “He plays a real altruist. And there’s some question as to whether that’s his symptom or not.”

After slipping out of Michael Scofield’s skin, Miller unfortunately hasn’t found much work. Since the breakout show ended in 2009, he starred in Resident Evil: Afterlife alongside Milla Jovovich and guest starred in an episode of Law and Order: SVU. Though a patient of the week role doesn’t sound all that exciting, you can rest assured that Scofield erm, Miller will play the part like a champ. We all know he’s got a thing for hot doctors–I’m looking at you Dr. Sara Tancredi! Oh, sorry, get back to chopping up zombies.

House returns for its eighth season on October 3.
