Scott Buck: "When We Came to Edward James Olmos’ Name We Knew That Was Our Professor Gellar"


Via Long Island Pulse - In the current issue of Long Island Pulse Magazine, Olmos speaks candidly with writer Aileen Jacobson: For its sixth season, the team behind Dexter looked at a long list of actors to play Professor Gellar, a charismatic religious studies teacher, “but when we came to Edward James Olmos’ name we knew that was our Professor Gellar,” said executive producer Scott Buck.

“We wanted someone with a quiet intensity who could convey a sense of formidable power with just a glance, He was cast very early in the process. I believe the first script was still in the works, so once he was signed we very specifically shaped the character to the actor.”
