UPDATED WITH NEW INFO: Colin Hanks Scores Dexter Season Six Role
TVline is reporting exclusively that Colin Hanks has been cast in a major role during the sixth season of Showtime's Dexter.
"Sources confirm to TVLine exclusively that the Good Guys star [and] Mad Men alum is joining the cast of Dexter for a major Season 6 arc," writes Michael Ausiello. "Like with most of the Showtime’s drama’s past guest stars (e.g. John Lithgow, Jimmy Smits), the specifics of Hanks’ role are being kept under insanely tight wraps. (His character description is not believed to be among the trio of new recurring roles producers released breakdowns for earlier this month.)
If Hanks turns out to be an adversary of Dex’s, it’s unlikely he’ll fit the mold of past baddies such as Trinity and the Ice Truck Killer, given what Showtime president David Nevins recently told TVLine about the show’s coming season. 'It is not [about] one big bad,' he told us. 'There’s one interesting story that will move through the season, and it will be cast very interestingly, but it’s not exactly that one person.'”
The Wrap actually has an update on this story, providing a bit more information on Hanks' character: "Colin Hanks will be playing an expert on ancient artifacts who gets linked to a series of, you guessed it, horrific murders. That announcement, coupled with Showtime's promise that 'hell breaks loose' next season, suggests either that Dexter will try to solve occult-themed killings -- or that your guess is as good as mine."
