I can’t wait as a fan to watch it and as an actor to spend time watching actual footage of things that I’ve kind of tried to imagine for myself when I imagine what the early days of Dexter were like.”
He concluded, “Now I’ll have this color version of his memories to refer to. I think it will help inform my experience for what comes next in the other series, which I can only talk about briefly at this stage. It’s quite intoxicating. It’s so satisfying.”
