In a new interview with MTV, Hall admitted that he doesn't approve of tattoos featuring his own face.
Yesterday was a monumental day for Dexter: Resurrection and its passionate fanbase. Not only did a brand-new episode drop — one that’s already receiving widespread praise from viewers — but the cast of the hit Showtime/Paramount+ revival made a major appearance at San Diego Comic-Con International 2025.
Fans in attendance were treated to a rare gathering of Dexter stars, including Michael C. Hall, David Zayas, Krysten Ritter, Jack Alcott, James Remar, and David Dastmalchian.
While the highlight of their visit was undoubtedly the official Dexter: Resurrection panel, the cast also took time to engage in a series of interviews — one of the most entertaining being a sit-down with MTV, which, like Showtime, is part of the Paramount family.
A Reunion Filled with Laughter and Nostalgia
During their appearance at the MTV Lounge, Hall, Zayas, Ritter, Alcott, and Remar (with Dastmalchian absent from this segment) joined the host for a relaxed, laughter-filled chat about the latest chapter in the Dexter saga. The chemistry among the cast was palpable, with jokes, genuine moments of reflection, and plenty of smiles — a testament to their camaraderie both on and off screen.
Michael C. Hall on Returning as Dexter Morgan
When asked about what it’s like to keep returning to the iconic role of Dexter Morgan, Hall described the experience as surreal:
“It’s bananas. I mean, we shot the pilot episode hoping the show would be picked up, maybe find a little niche cult audience. I don’t think anyone anticipated it would become as broadly or long-lastingly appealing as it has.There’s something about this world, this universe, the mythology that’s grown up around it — the soil remains fertile.”
James Remar Reflects on the Legacy of Dexter
James Remar, who portrays Dexter’s late father Harry Morgan (and his guiding conscience), shared a heartfelt sentiment when asked about the love still pouring in for the show in 2025:
“The word you used — love — is very humbling. To be a part of something that truly feels iconic… it doesn’t wear thin.It’s a brand new show, yet it has deep roots in the past. I feel a great deal of continuity, affection, and yes — love. The fans really love it.”
David Zayas on the Evolution of Angel Batista
Returning as Angel Batista in a full-time capacity, David Zayas expressed how natural the transition felt:
“It was seamless. I’ve known Michael a long time — we’ve shared so many scenes. What’s exciting is that the writing is still incredible. It reminded me what it feels like to be an actor working with great material and great co-stars.And with all the streaming platforms now, there’s a new generation discovering Dexter for the first time. Some of them weren’t even born when we first started. It’s fantastic to see them dive in, then follow up with Resurrection — continuing the story.”
The Wildest Fan Moments — Dexter Tattoos!
Halfway through the interview on a lighter note, the host brought up the intense Dexter fandom, asking Hall about the most extreme expressions of devotion he’s seen out in the world. His answer?
“Yeah… like people’s forearms, calves, thighs.”When asked if he’d ever recommend getting a tattoo of Dexter’s face to a friend, Hall laughed and replied:“No. I don’t recommend it. Once I see it, it’s way past not recommending.”
Final Thoughts
