Rumours of Michael Scofield's death have been greatly exaggerated.

OK, maybe not that exaggerated – Wentworth Miller's character from Prison Break definitely did kick the bucket in the show's series finale earlier this year. But the hunky actor with the thousand-yard stare has risen again, nabbing a high-profile guest spot on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

TV Guide reports that 37-year-old Miller will appear on the upcoming season premiere of SVU, playing an NYPD cop named Nate Kendal who helps save a rape victim the SVU detectives are trying to protect. Miller will be acting opposite longtime SVU stars Chris Meloni and Mariska Hargitay, who are returning to the cop drama after some long and heated salary negotiations.

But if you can't wait until fall to see Miller in his yummy police garb, you can see on-set photos of the dreamboat here. Delicious!
