\n\t[This story contains major spoilers from\u00a0Dexter: Resurrection\u00a0<\/em>episode four, \u201cCall Me Red.\u201d]<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tAfter a brief bout of death, Michael C. Hall\u2018s Dexter Morgan has wasted little time getting back into the business of killing.<\/p>\n

\n\tFour episodes deep into showrunner Clyde Phillips\u2018s\u00a0Dexter: Resurrection<\/em>, the titular serial killer has already put a couple of fellow killers under the knife \u2014 with plenty more still to go, based on what he uncovers in this latest outing, \u201cCall Me Red.\u201d The episode sees Dexter posing as the late Red Schmidt, alias \u201cThe Dark Passenger,\u201d a New York City killer whose name just so happ<\/a>ens to be the same as Dexter\u2019s own internalized code. Taking on the guise of Red, Dexter infiltrates a clandestine meeting of the serial killer minds, hosted by Leon Prater, a massively wealthy serial killer admirer played by Peter Dinklage. Prater, working alongside security operative Charley (Uma Thurman), regularly assembles a cadre of killers to trade notes back and forth: Lady Vengeance (Krysten Ritter), Rapunzel (Eric Stonestreet), and the Gemini Killer (David Dastmalchian), to name a few.<\/p>\n

\n\tLet\u2019s name one more: the Tattoo Collector, played by Neil Patrick Harris, for one night only. No stranger to the horror genre (and admittedly a big fan of it), Harris exits the\u00a0Dexter\u00a0<\/em>lexicon as quickly as he enters it, becoming the first member of this elite killer club to find themselves at cross purposes with Mr. Morgan himself \u2014\u00a0the first, but not the last, if Dexter gets his way. <\/p>\n

\n\tBelow, Harris speaks with\u00a0The Hollywood Reporter\u00a0<\/em>to look back on his brief-but-memorable turn on the historic reboot series<\/a>, how it all came together and how it all wrapped up \u2014 in his case, quite literally.<\/p>\n

\n\t***<\/p>\n

\n\tWere you a\u00a0Dexter\u00a0<\/em>fan before joining the show? Was it an opportunity you sought out, or did it come to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tIt came to me. I am a Michael C. Hall fan. I watched most of season one of the initial show and then lost track of it, and all of a sudden it hit a multitude of seasons. So I wasn\u2019t a diehard, but my husband [David Burtka] had watched all of them and then I got an email saying this was coming around, and, \u201cWould you read it? We think you\u2019d be great for this.\u201d I read it and I was so flattered and was like, \u201cYeah, let me live my Matthew McConaughey realness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat was it about the role that spoke to you? There\u2019s obviously a lot to chew on, even as a one-off appearance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tIt was just that: there was a lot to chew on. I\u2019m a big fan of the drawing-room mystery where you have an ensemble of people together and you\u2019re not sure who\u2019s going to go first and who\u2019s going to survive, a la <\/em>Agatha Christie or the Scream<\/em> movies. When I was imagining Peter Dinklage in a drawing room with all of these actors and serial killers and getting to be one of many, that was exciting enough.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s one thing to imagine Peter Dinklage and the drawing room of serial killers, then another to live it. What was it like on set?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tIt was surreal. I\u2019m a fan of everyone in that room. Uma Thurman, who is fantastic always, just having her entering and exiting was the best. I felt a little bit of imposter syndrome because of the level of talent everywhere. We were all making sure that we didn\u2019t fuck it up and that we were on our A-game<\/a> as much as possible. But it was great and everyone got along really well. It wasn\u2019t a set where the actors all went back to their trailers between takes. It was a very nice communal feeling, and I think that starts with Michael and Clyde.<\/p>\n

\n\tThese dinners are designed for serial killers to trade notes of their craft. What was it like for all of you on set? Similar deal, albeit acting secrets instead of killer instinct?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI remember it mostly being deeply comedic. Eric and Peter hit it off, and Michael\u2019s really funny too, and Krysten was there and David, so everyone was cracking jokes between takes and setups and I was not expecting that. I thought it would be much more serious and drama laden, but no, everyone\u2019s cracking each other up. So there were lots of callback comedy and improvising in these deathly sets.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s such an interesting set piece, because through eleven different iterations of\u00a0Dexter<\/em>, we\u2019ve never quite seen a set-up like this, an almost\u00a0Knives Out<\/em>-ification of the show, with Dexter around so many culprits, there\u2019s something so absurd about it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tOne hundred percent. f you\u2019re taking it too seriously, I think it loses a little of its charm. But if you\u2019re not taking it seriously enough, then it loses its gravity. But the\u00a0Knives Out-<\/em>ification? I love that. Rian Johnson [Knives Out<\/em> director] is a big bucket list [director] of mine. So hopefully I\u2019ll get to do more drawing room mysteries in my future.<\/p>\n

\n\tSomeone tag Rian Johnson on whichever one of these social<\/a> platforms he\u2019s still on.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tYes!<\/p>\n

\n\tSo you\u2019re keeping it light at the dinner. What about at the kill table, one of the most iconic\u00a0Dexter\u00a0<\/em>set pieces imaginable: How do you keep things light when you\u2019re wrapped up in plastic and under Dexter\u2019s knife?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI enjoyed that scene a lot because I was playing someone who was killing others, and then getting killed. So there was not an element of, \u201cPlease, please don\u2019t do this. You don\u2019t need to do this!\u201d I liked the resignation that they wrote of the \u201cCheckmate!\u201d \u201cShit,\u201d of it all. That was fun when we were filming. Everyone was taking everything super seriously, because they have done lots of killing and wrapping people in cellophane over the years and have recognized that it\u2019s a fairly claustrophobic experience for the performer. They don\u2019t just wrap you up in the stuff they make. They measured my body and made pieces that fit over, because you are sitting there for hours and it does start to get sweaty and warm in there.<\/p>\n

\n\tThey don\u2019t do the magic trick where it\u2019s a fake body on the table, and you\u2019re sitting somewhere cushy with your head poking out?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tThat would\u2019ve been nice. That was not the case.<\/p>\n

\n\tBummer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tBut I also didn\u2019t want that. It was fun to be able to actually exist in it, and it wasn\u2019t annoying at all. I just valued that everyone was taking it seriously. So it was a quiet set that day and Michael was super locked in, and I got to be there\u00a0in flagrante<\/em> \u2014 get wrapped up, do the thing for some hours and marvel at how your body can act strange when it\u2019s not moving at all. It was nice to check that off the list. <\/p>\n

\n\tI\u2019ll tell you, laying on your back, looking up at lights and seeing Dexter tracing a knife and carving it into your chest cavity? It is a striking visual that I\u2019ll remember for some time. I felt like I was the camera in every Dexter<\/em> promo, where you see him raising his arms operatically and stabbing down at you \u2014 except this time, the \u201cyou\u201d was me!<\/p>\n
