Lovable. He’s Dexter Morgan, America’s favorite serial killer, who spends his days solving crimes and his nights committing them. In season 8, Angel Batista wasn’t always played by David Zayas.
A large scar is visible on Dexter’s left side in season one
His son, David Zayas Jr., stands in for his father in some shots, as the two look a lot alike. Later, in season two, the scar moved to his right side, leaving his left side unmarked. Dexter Morgan: I’ve lived in the dark for a long time.

Over the years, my eyes adjusted until the darkness became my world, and I saw… Featured at the 64th Annual Golden Globe Awards (2007). I read Lindsay’s excellent books – Darkly Dreaming Dexter and Dearly Devoted Dexter – a while ago, and when I heard that the books were being made into a series, I was extremely excited. So much so, in fact, that I was afraid of being disappointed, simply because my expectations were so high.
Fortunately, "Dexter" absolutely delivers
The show maintains the novels’ uncomfortable atmosphere with better fidelity than one would ever expect, and Dexter (played by Hall) is there, too. The show’s visuals are impressive, to say the least. Disturbing, sure, but even more impressive.
This has a permanent place on my DVR
Watching the show, it’s impossible not to find common ground with Dexter. He’s a monster, and yet it’s entirely possible to identify with him. 10 out of 10.
