Dexter became adored during its run for its gripping plot lines and character performances — especially in regards to Hall, who won a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Golden Globe for his work on the show via IMDb. He did not reveal his diagnosis at the time, keeping it a secret up until season 4 was completed. Hall, who was 38 at the time, then started treatment after the season wrapped. His on screen victims better watch out. Please enter email address to continue. Please enter valid email address to continue.
Chrome Safari Continue. In manner, the saturnine, faintly academic-looking actor is closer to the solemn, contained David than the impishly feral Dexter Morgan; he leans forward on the sofa, hands clasped, speaking thoughtfully and deliberately.
But that could be fatigue he flew from New York yesterday, and must be back in time to go onstage tomorrow. When Six Feet Under ended, Hall says, "I started to feel that I wasn't being taken seriously for roles where I wasn't playing some fastidious control freak. This was surely one of the riskiest shows ever attempted on mainstream TV — one that invited the audience to identify with a serial killer, albeit one who operates to a rigorous code of ethics, dispatching only villains lacking his own moral finesse.
When Hall embarked on the show, he must surely have wondered if he'd get away with it. Some viewers get a vicarious thrill watching it, inasmuch as we all have homicidal impulses from time to time, though we don't act on it. But I don't look at Dexter and wish I were him.
Some people allegedly did, though. There were cases, I say… "I know," Hall puts in ruefully… both in the US and Scandinavia, of people committing killings and claiming they were inspired by Dexter, or identified with him.
Did that rattle him? I'm not…" Hall pauses cautiously, "trying to talk myself into anything when I say that such a personality might have found something else to reinforce whatever impulses they have. But it's horrifying to consider that something you did in hopes that it would be a meditation on the nature of morality would give the green light to do a heinous act. But it doesn't make me want to take Dexter back.
While shooting the show's fourth season Hall was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system.
He kept the diagnosis secret on set, then began chemotherapy treatment the day after that season wrapped. He decided to go public when he appeared in a knitted cap at the Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild award ceremonies.
Hall told NPR that "It is hard to imagine him getting away with it" but he wouldn't really want to watch the character go to jail for his actions. Fans will have to stay tuned.
