The Comic-Con and TCA supercharged television fans with a renewed anticipation for their favorite television shows, which are returning this fall with brand new seasons. The same goes for
Dexter, which promises a brand new spanking season come September 28. We recently reported that Jimmy Smits will be part of the new season, as he plays Dexter’s new buddy. It seems that collaboration was a success, as
Michael C. Hall, who plays central character Dexter Morgan, says that it was an amazing experience working with Smits.
“It’s been great. He’s not only a great actor, but a consummate professional and a really kind man," he told the TV Addict. "As was the case with Keith Carradine coming on board last season, it’s a real shot in the arm that the show can attract someone of that calibre.”
While Hall looks up to other actors for their great work, fans believe that he is an equally talented actor who pulls of playing a twisted yet good serial murderer. Hall admits though, that his family is quite opinionated when it comes to the roles he plays.
“I was making a joke earlier [at the Dexter TCA Panel], but I must say that certain members of my family seem to be more comfortable with me simulating serial murder than simulating a gay relationship with a black man,” he says of his character on
Six Feet Under, Davis Fisher.
Moving forward, Hall says that he is open to whatever role is offered to him. In fact, he admits that he never expected the Dexter project to come along, and thus learned to keep an open mind about things.
“As much as I’d like to mix it up and do more films, I don’t like to get too specific about what the future might hold," he says. "Certainly when I finished Six Feet Under, I didn’t see Dexter on the horizon. And I imagine, or at least hope that there are things to come that I can’t conceive at this moment.”
Don’t forget to catch Michael C. Hall as he returns as
Dexter on September 29 on Showtime.
