The Dexter: Resurrection star was the center of attention earlier today at the game in NYC.
Today marks a truly special moment for the Zayas family and Dexter fans alike. Beloved actor David Zayas, best known for his role as Angel Batista in the Dexter universe, had the incredible honor of representing Paramount+ and Showtime at one of the most iconic sporting events of the summer — the ongoing Mets vs. Yankees game in New York.
Before the first pitch was even thrown, the energy was already electric. Earlier today, we shared a series of heartwarming photos capturing David Zayas alongside his wife, Lisa Colón-Zayas, and their son, David Jr., as they arrived for this exciting promotional event.
