David "Tweener" Apolskis

David "Tweener" Apolskis, portrayed by Lane Garrison, is a fictional character from the American television series, Prison Break. Tweener was introduced as a recurring character in the ninth episode of the series' first season, "Tweener".

Born and raised in Boston, Apolskis' great hands gave him a starting position on his middle school's football team. However, after being deemed academically ineligible, he found a better use for his talent – pickpocketing. He became a master, swiping over 200 wallets and 150 watches between the ages of fourteen and nineteen.

However, when he tried to lift a wallet from an off-duty police officer, he was immediately apprehended. Authorities discovered a valuable baseball card collection in his apartment in Boston, which he had stolen from the father of a friend. He thought it was an ordinary collection; in truth, it included the rare Honus Wagner T206, worth $300,000. Due to the card's worth, he was charged and convicted of grand larceny and subsequently sentenced to five years at Fox River State Penitentiary. In the episode "Flight", Sucre's cousin Manche, describes Tweener as the "Vanilla Ice kid".
