EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW:
MICHAEL C. HALL ON “DEXTER”
By Abbie Bernstein

Michael C. Hall, Dexter Morgan

Here’s something you might not know about actor Michael C. Hall from his intense, Golden Globe-winning and multi-Emmy-nominated performance as the title character on Showtime’s DEXTER: he laughs easily. Dexter Morgan, as viewers know, has trouble connecting to other people. This is because he’s a serial killer who has channeled his darkest urges into only taking the lives of other murderers. In his daytime life, Dexter works as a blood splatter expert for the Miami Metro Police Department. Over the course of the show, Dexter’s sister Deborah (Jennifer Carpenter) has been promoted first to detective and, this season, to lieutenant. Dexter has suffered a lot over the course of the series, now in its sixth season. An especially brutal blow was the Season Four death of his wife Rita (Julie Benz) at the hands of the Trinity Killer, played by John Lithgow in a performance that won him an Emmy.

Some people are most familiar with John Lithgow as the well-intentioned if very confused alien commander on six seasons of the NBC sitcom 3RD ROCK FROM THE SUN and the hero of the telefilm DON QUIXOTE. Broadway audiences know him for a wide variety of roles, including several that have won him Tony Awards for THE CHANGING ROOM and THE SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS. Movie viewers have seen him play a warm-hearted transgendered friend in need in THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP, the distressed airplane passenger who sees a something on the wing in TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MOVIE, the stern reverend in FOOTLOOSE, the mad scientist Dr. Emilio Lizardo and his extraterrestrial possessor Lord John Whorfin in THE ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI, the kindly dad who opens his home to Bigfoot in HARRY AND THE HENDERSONS and the voice of the diminutive, dictatorial Lord Farquaad in SHREK. Then there are those who know Lithgow for a specific type of role - the killers he’s played over the years in OBSESSION, BLOW OUT, RAISING CAIN (all from director Brian De Palma), CLIFFHANGER and RICOCHET, to name a few.
