We’re still stupid in some ways, but we’re smarter, and I think it’s great that we’ve survived the last 35 years and are here today. ”
Christian was a fan of the original “Dexter” before he signed on to play the character’s father in the prequel.
He said: “I saw the original show a few years after it aired, and I fell in love with it. I thought it was great. As an actor, it’s the kind of show that makes you go, ‘Oh, I want to be on that show!’ It was one of the.
