It’s not every Tuesday morning you get to share coffee and croissants with a serial killer. Then again, it’s not every day you get invited along to a boutique hotel for a chat with Michael C Hall, the star of FX’s brilliantly dark drama Dexter.
Michael’s over in London for a few days to promote series three of Dexter, which begins on FX at the end of April, and we’re glad to report that he’s not half as scary as his screen role – though we admit to being slightly nervous he’d morph into character and make a quick lunge with the butter knife.
As well as giving us lots of spoilers for the upcoming series, which sees TV legend Jimmy Smits join the show as Dexter’s equally odd new friend Miguel, Michael revealed why he’s been happy to sign up as the sympathetic sociopath for another two seasons.
We also got a chance to meet Michael’s co-star – and wife – Jennifer Carpenter, who plays Dexter’s foul-mouthed cop sister Debra. The couple got married at New Year and are combining their press visit with a few days’ sightseeing in London. Hmm, wonder whether a trip to Madame Tussaud’s Chamber of Horrors is on their list…
So jealous. Dexter is best show on tv.
Yep. Lucky you! A great way to start the day.
However, I would really like to read one blog that doesn’t say some variant on the comment “he’s not half as scary as his screen role – though we admit to being slightly nervous he’d morph into character and make a quick lunge with the butter knife.”
It’s been done too many times! I might just have to come after you with my “edit” button.
Wow, I’m so jealous! Dexter is such a fantastic show.
I’m trying to find a way to contact him because my boyfriend is a massive fan and its his 18th birthday soon.
Its a wild goose chase really.
I should just get him a jumper or something. ;P
Good post. The easy part is to set up a blog, the hard part is to make it interesting so people will visit it…Well done!
