Miami Metro's Finest on "Dexter"

You ever wonder what I'd look like in a police uniform? Now you know. I look itty bitty, right?! That's probably because I'm acting opposite a towering man. The night before the shoot I felt like it was Christmas Eve and I was a five-year-old. I could not wait to meet John Lithgow and perform (even for the briefest moment) opposite him. I gotta tell you, in that two hour time span we spent shooting the scene, he gave me the willies. As an actor, there was so much for me to play off of that portraying the less than observant cop who can't manage to realize that a) he's scary and up to something bad b) that he's stolen a pass from some unassuming old lady and is entering the police station, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, was actually an interesting feat. Desk Officer "Insert Name Here" ain't so bright and probably should lose her job after failing to perform on the job.

Enjoy the scene! I know I enjoyed filming it.
