The cast lineup for Dexter: Resurrection includes several more fan favorites. Michael C. Hall (Dexter Morgan), David Zayas (Angel Batista), and James Remar (Harry Morgan) are all confirmed to return.

The most buzzworthy addition, however, is Uma Thurman.

Leon Prater is set to be one of the most intriguing characters in Showtime’s Dexter: Resurrection. According to official sources, Prater is a mysterious billionaire whose presence will play a pivotal role in the upcoming series. Alongside him is Charley, portrayed by Uma Thurman, a former Special Ops officer who now serves as Prater’s head of security. Charley’s resourcefulness and tactical expertise are bound to add an extra layer of intrigue to the plot.


Could Peter Dinklage Play Leon Prater?

Rumors are heating up that Peter Dinklage, best known for his Emmy-winning portrayal of Tyrion Lannister in HBO’s Game of Thrones, may step into the role of Leon Prater. The speculation began in November when reports surfaced that Showtime was looking to cast a high-profile actor for this enigmatic character. The last report about Peter Dinklage joining Dexter: Resurrection came in December, alongside the initial rumors about Uma Thurman's involvement—which ultimately turned out to be true.

Fans are already buzzing about how Dinklage’s sharp wit and commanding screen presence could bring Prater to life. Known for delivering powerful performances, Dinklage seems like a natural fit for the role of a billionaire with a larger-than-life personality.

What to Expect if Dinklage Joins the Cast

If Dinklage takes on the role of Leon Prater, fans can expect him to bring the same cleverness that made Tyrion Lannister iconic. In Game of Thrones, his character often used humor and wit to navigate complex dynamics, and a similar approach could make Leon Prater a standout figure in Dexter: Resurrection.

It is possible that Prater might earn the nickname "Dwarf Billionaire," a title Dinklage could imbue with his layered performance.
