Is Truman a prisoner or Performer of the show?

I think he is a prisoner of the show because Truman lived a controlled live since he was a baby. When Cristof realized that Truman wanted to quit the show to lead a normal life.  Truman  was almost killed in the ocean when Cristof order the storm. As Isaiah explains in his response “Truman never got to choose if he wanted his life to be on national television. He was forced from birth.”
