“Defiance” co-star Jaime Murray, who plays cunning alien wife Stahma Tarr, is Benz’s real-life best friend, and sharp-eyed viewers will realize they’ve seen these two hotties on-screen together before.
Benz starred as Dexter’s wife Rita Morgan for four seasons on the hit Showtime series — before she was killed off in 2010 in one of TV’s most shocking season finales ever — and Murray is the British actress who co-starred in Season 2 (2007) as Lila Tourney, Dexter’s AA sponsor (aka the psycho-stalker pyromaniac).
“Jaime and I have been best friends since we met on ‘Dexter,’” Benz told XfinityTV. “It’s one of the reasons I took this job too, because if I was going to go on location to do a series ['Defiance' was shot in Toronto], how great would it be to go with one of my best friends and get to work with her.”
