Can you tell me a little about your character in Dexter?The character I’m playing is a professor of theology, and he’s pretty much the inspiration to one individual in particular—the role that’s played by Colin Hanks. I really can’t say that he’s a bad guy, because that’s the whole gist of the series. That would be a spoiler. The character definitely motivates a lot of people, with his theology studies and his understanding of theology.
This is a really dark show and you’ve been in other shows that have been dark. What do you think is the appeal of, in this case, a very gory show?
Probably the biggest draw is the story and the lead character of Dexter. Michael C. Hall does a great job bringing to life the character and I think that’s the reason why people like the character. What he does is very, very bad, but you kind of understand why he’s doing it, and that goes back to the writing. You could have someone else doing the performance and it would be too dark. This is probably the darkest show I’ve ever been a part of in my life. I don’t think there’s been a darker show on television, ever.

I love Edwards James Olmos he is such a kick ass actor!!!!
ReplyDeleteEither this is an old interview or Olmos has got his wires crossed with the Dexter promotion department because there are already Showtime videos that out Olmos and Hanks as playing a dangerous duo of religious zealots.
