via BuzzFeed: Michael C. Hall said good-bye to Dexter four months ago when the series finale aired on Showtime. But the now 42-year-old actor is fully aware that the title character he played for seven years is one he’ll most likely be associated with for the rest of his life.
For instance, though he’s been making the rounds in Park City, Utah, at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, promoting his new movie Cold in July, he was also asked to help a Dexter fan propose to his girlfriend at the independent film fest.
“Some guy came up to me and recruited me to be the ring bearer for a proposal, basically,” Hall said with a laugh while he sat down with BuzzFeed at a bar in town. “I was like, ‘OK, but doesn’t he want to just give her the ring himself?’ And the guy said, ‘Well, he wants it to be memorable.’ And I thought, Well, it seems like it’s an inherently memorable thing. But I was happy to do it. And she said yes! It was kind of sweet. It felt very intimate, really, to be witness to that moment.”
Hall spent nearly a decade inside the mind of the enigmatic serial killer at the center of Dexter. He nabbed a Golden Globe and a SAG Award for the performance, and countless nominations over the Showtime series’ eight seasons. The Dexter cast became a fixture at Comic Con each year, developing a loyal and rabid fan base, and, as the Sundance proposal suggests, the iconic role isn’t something the audience is willing to let go of just yet.
