'Escape at Dannemora' episode two could be the ultimate reveal about Richard Matt's dark criminal history

Richard Matt, in the pilot, is a connoisseur of the arts. Is this the same man who has been imprisoned for murder? How could a man of such gravity and aura be a murderer, right?

Ben Stiller might be known for his comedic genius, but what the world could never in their wildest dreams have anticipated was the concept of his latest creations, 'Escape at Dannemora', which premiered last Sunday, November 18, on Showtime. The story revolves around a crafty, dark prison break — based on the real-life incident of the infamous Clinton Correctional Facility escape that took place on June 6, 2015.

Starring Benicio del Toro, Paul Dano, Patricia Arquette, David Morse, Eric Lange, and Bonnie Hunt, the prison drama has so far shown the typical lives inmates lead at the Clinton Correctional Facility, with del Toro playing the role of Richard Matt and Dano portraying David Sweat — the two inmates who had managed to escape from the facility.
