What's it like off-screen, your relationship?

He's a phenomenal friend and just a brilliant mentor.

He's someone that, when I came into the show, it was my first sort of larger role, and I think he saw a really terrified kid who needed help and was there, and we've maintained that as well.

Anytime I've ever had any questions or just thoughts, he's always there.

he's ready to pick up the phone or turn around and go, what's up? And has always been an advocate and is an incredibly generous actor and brilliant.

Tell me about what's happening here.

This is also sort of the after party for our Comic-Con premiere, which is a surprise premiere, by the way.

It was really, really fun.

Hall has been a dream.

I think as a young actor, there's the need to get it right.

You have an idea of what the scene is supposed to look like, and I'm gonna execute that and nail it.

And if I get a direction, I'll tweak whatever I'm doing, but watching Michael work, he certainly comes in with choices, but he's so willing to sort of play in the moment, discover something new.

If you can have a real discovery, if you can do something for the first time on camera, that's probably a lot cooler than whatever you were imagining yourself doing.

Uma Thurman and Eric Stonestreet return to the show, but this time, Dan Stevens and Brian Cox join the cast for one wild ride.

Good times.

They give themselves permission to have fun.

Did you ever imagine that you'd be in it for as long as you are?

No.

I mean, it's...

Well, I mean, at the end of New Blood, like, that was a really definitive ending.

Yeah.

And there have been talks of other things that could follow it, but...

That was the end.

that particular scene where you...

No.

Yeah.

And there have been talks of other things that could follow it, but... that that was the that was the end and i and i was like yeah my tenure in the in the dexter family is is over which made me very sad but i was like man what a gift that i got to be a part of it at all um i feel like it was i don't know how long it was after new blood It was well over a year, maybe a year and a half, two years before Clyde Phillips, our showrunner, just texted me kind of out of nowhere and was like, hey, little brother, just wanted to see if you'd be down to hop on Zoom.

Just got some exciting news.

that particular scene where you...

way to say

it.

But I...

I got the audition and just immediately went, there's no way.

That's not going to happen.

I auditioned for it and then just didn't hear anything.

And then weeks later, got another audition for a different role, for the role of Teddy, our lovely mustachioed cop, played by David Magadoff, who's perfect.

Oh,

So wait, Sean's a spy?

Let's not jump to conclusions, okay? [gunshots]

Who would you like to see step into some serial killer's shoes?

Oh, wow.

That's a great question.

She's the most amazing person in the world.

I've worked with her.

How about someone like Sarah Jessica Parker?
