Prison Break star Wentworth Miller has been announced as the ambassador for American mental health charity Active Minds.

Miller revealed his battle with depression and suicidal thoughts earlier this year, and commented 'As someone who knows what it's like to struggle with depression, I want to help give voice to the many people living with mental health issues. I want to help assure them that they're not alone. These issues can be hard to discuss. It can be hard to start the conversation. So letting people know that it's okay to ask for help is extremely important. I'm really proud to be part of the Active Minds' movement for change, especially because college was a difficult time for me. This organisation does so much for students, and that kind of work is close to my heart'.
