Shawn Hatosy is a former child star who’s played every character under the sun — almost. Over the past few years he’s found himself playing cops (or guys on the right side of the law) and he wanted a change. Good thing for him the folks over at Showtime were looking for a new psycho to feature during the latest season of “Dexter.” Goodbye officer, hello creepy sanitation guy.
In the words of Boyz II Men it’s so hard to say goodbye to last season. With the premiere of the Showtime series “Dexter” this week, the death of Julie Benz’s character Rita became crystal clear. But don’t feel too bad for her, the actress is still on television just not on cable. Benz stars as the matriarch of a super powered family on the new ABC series “No Ordinary Family.” She recently spoke about the show and the amount of love and affection she’s received from “Dexter” fans since her departure.
A lot of new faces will pop up during the fifth season of Showtime’s “Dexter,” one of them being Julia Stiles who’s slated to appear in an ambiguous role as a woman who could be a villain but isn’t really (what the hell?). That description doesn’t tell you much so check out this interview from the network that features the actress discussing the character. We also have another photo of her from the show after the jump…
If you like movies, this is probably a good weekend to catch up on some old Netflix or flip around Turner Classic Movies because the movie pickings are drastically scarce. How scarce? The most legitimate movie hitting shelves this week stars Miley Cyrus. Yeesh!
On the other hand, we’ve just entered they “Get Ready for Fall TV” portion of the DVD calendar – which means lots of great shows are unleashing seasons on silver discs including “Dexter”, “Cougar Town” and “Friday Night Lights”. So, catch up if you’re behind (though you can probably skip the first couple discs of “Cougar Town”).

We have two new castings to report and they’re for shows that share absolutely nothing in common. One is “Dexter,” the serial killer juggernaut of Showtime that centers on death and mental anguish, while the other is The CW’s “Gossip Girl” a series about pretty people with pretty problems like losing your virginity and infidelity. According to EW, both shows will be pumped with new faces this fall in the form of Chris Vance and Sam Page.
We’re currently here at the “Anti-Hereos of Showtime” panel with Michael C. Hall and new showrunner Chip Johannessen of “DEXTER“, David Duchovny and Executive Producer and creator Tom Kapinos of “Californication“, Mary-Louise Parker and Executive Producer and creator Jenji Kohan of “Weeds“, along with Linda Wallem, Executive Producer, writer and one of the creators of “Nurse Jackie.”
The folks over at Showtime decided to dip into their casting bag of tricks for the upcoming season of “Dexter” The killer drama will have more than its fair share of new faces this year including Julia Stiles, Jonny Lee Miller, Shawn Hatosy, and Peter Weller. According to TVGuide the latest actor to join the cast is a Showtime alum from the network’s defunct series “The L Word.” It’s Katherine Moennig.
Showtime continues to drop casting bombs about the upcoming fifth season of the serial killer drama, “Dexter.” First, we learned that Julie Benz would reprise her role as Rita, then Julia Stiles was confirmed to appear as a new lady in Dexter’s life, and now Jonny Lee Miller has also landed a role of the show.
What do the people over at Showtime have up their sleeves? Yesterday, we learned that Julie Benz‘s character Rita would rise from the dead and make an appearance next season and now Julia Stiles is in negotiations to join the series in its fifth year. According to EW, the show’s producers are interested in bringing the actress on for a “top secret” role.
