Dexter

As played by Michael C. Hall

Dexter is an extremely likeable, charming blood splatter expert for the Miami Police Department. He regularly brings doughnuts to his fellow officers, has a compulsion for neatness and whiles away Sundays relaxing on his boat the 'Slice of Life.' But hiding beneath the mundane exterior hides a different Dexter, one obsessed with meting his own twisted brand of justice by stalking and murdering the guilty. He's the perfect psychopath for the job because, in his own words, he cares ".about people as much as he cares about lawn furniture."
