'Oz' Season Finale
The show that's been holding audiences captive for five years ends this season with a stunner. "Extra" got an exclusive sneak peek at a shocking scene that included full frontal nudity.
But full frontal nudity is nothing new at Ozwald
maximum-security prison. HBO's gritty look at a maximum-security
prison has spared nothing since the show's debut.
Dean Winters plays Ryan O'Reilly, a loner with
a passion for pain. He says the show is so realistic that fans
have difficulty separating fact from fiction. Dean says, "People
walk up to me on the street and they'll offer me drugs or they'll
say, ‘When are going to kill so and so?’"
Chuck Zito, who plays mob boss Chucky, says it's no wonder audiences
get carried away. He's got real life experience behind bars
and says "Oz’s" shocking scenes are possible. "I've been in
19 different prisons. I've been in the worst prisons where one
guy a month gets killed. So nothing is too overdramatic for
me."
Actor Lee Tergesen thinks the show's honest graphic nature is
why the HBO show has been on top for five seasons. He says,
"It’s just amazing how people react to it and how much they
really get what we're trying to do. And then some people watch
it for the full frontal nudity."
Whatever the reason, you can see it all on "Oz's" season finale
this Sunday.
