Dexter Scoop!


"Wondering what's up with your favorite blood-spatter analyst? Wonder no more. At the Saturn Awards, executive producer Clyde Phillips filled us in when we asked about Season 3 and just how long Dexter Morgan can stay under the radar. Previewing what's to come, he said, "Dexter inadvertently sets in motion a chain of events that will change his life not only for this year, but change his life forever" — and that doesn't mean a manhunt.


"We're done with that," says Phillips. "But that doesn't mean he's not in great jeopardy. For Season 3, we had to basically start it all over. We really had to cut [the storyline] from whole cloth."As Jimmy Smits joins the cast, it may be surprising to hear that it's not as an adversary to Dexter. "He plays an assistant district attorney who is a rising star in the city of Miami," shares Phillips. "His brother dies in the first episode and he and Dexter form an alliance. That's basically all I can tell you, other than the fact that Jimmy Smits is going to go, I believe, places he's never explored before as an actor."And Rita, says Phillips, will be "pivotal to what goes on in the year and is part of what changes Dexter's life." But will Dexter find his soul? No, says the producer. "Once he's completed as a person, the show's over." We wouldn't want that."

Dexter Casting Scoop!


Emmy® and Golden Globe® award-winner Jimmy Smits will wade into the murky world of Miami’s most notorious serial killer as he joins the cast of SHOWTIME’s top-rated drama series DEXTER. Smits will be featured in ten of the third season’s 12 episodes which are scheduled to premiere this fall on SHOWTIME.


Smits will portray Miguel Prado, an ambitious, charismatic assistant district attorney who comes from one of Miami’s most politically powerful and beloved families. Dexter will join forces with Prado – who’s risen in the ranks due to his aggressive stance against crime – in the pursuit of a murderer who affects both of their lives directly.Best known for his many prominent television roles from L.A. Law, N.Y.P.D. Blue and The West Wing, Smits has enjoyed a diverse career in television and film.


He earned eleven Emmy® nominations, including a win for Best Supporting Actor in Drama Series for his work on L.A. Law. Additionally, he has been nominated four times for a Golden Globe®, winning once for Best Performance By An Actor In A Television Series - Drama for N.Y.P.D. Blue. Other recent TV credits include CANE, on which he also served as Executive Producer, and the award-winning movie Lackawanna Blues. His film credits include Mi Familia, Price of Glory, Star Wars: Episode II and III, The Jane Austen Book Club and is currently filming the independent Mexican film “Backyard” from director Carlos Carrera.


One of the most acclaimed series on television, DEXTER stars Michael C. Hall (two-time Golden Globe®-nominee) as a complicated and conflicted blood-spatter expert for the Miami police department who moonlights as a serial killer. The show will receive a prestigious Peabody Award later this month and was twice named one of AFI’s top ten television series. The show also stars Julie Benz, Jennifer Carpenter, Lauren Velez, David Zayas, C.S. Lee and James Remar.
