Here’s a great preview for season 1 from the Showtime Dexter website, www.sho.com/site/dexter. There’s some good interview snippets, especially with Michael C. Hall. This is a great place to start if you haven’t seen Dexter yet.

The Season 2 premiere of Dexter on Showtime is only a couple of months away now. I’ll be updating the site with lots of info on the second season, but don’t worry, there will be spoiler warnings for all.

Personally, I’ve never really paid much attention to Dexter’s clothes, except of course the sweat stains; very realistic. I guess I’m in the minority though, citizens of the web are clamoring for advice on how to dress like a well mannered serial killer. Witness ask.metafilter.com, where’s there’s been two questions about about Dexter duds (Where does Dexter get his clothes? and Can anyone identify this hat and/or shirt?).

The second season of Dexter premieres September 30th on Showtime.

David Zayas is an Puerto Rican-American theatrical, film, and television actor.

Born in Puerto Rico, but raised in the Bronx borough of New York City, Zayas joined the United States Air Force early in life where he was able to develop skills that would lead him to become a New York City Police officer after he was discharged from service. As a police officer, Zayas developed the personality that would allow him to develop as a character actor, and which led to a series of acting jobs on television and film mainly playing law enforcement officers. However, working in law enforcement also provided Zayas with the ability to play characters on the other side of the law. This ability allowed him to play Enrique Morales, one of the most memorable inmates of HBO’s long-running prison-drama OZ. In a total number of 28 episodes from 2002-2003, Zayas’s character became one of the most ruthless inmates featured in that series.
