Line 3:
* [[Author Existence Failure]]: Narrowly averted in 2010, when Michael C. Hall recently won a nasty fight with cancer.
* [[Cast Incest]]: Michael C. Hall (Dexter Morgan) and [[Jennifer Carpenter]] (Debra Morgan) were married for a couple of years while playing adopted siblings. (They filed for divorce in December 2010. The divorce was finalized on December 2, 2011.)
* [[Fake American]]: Jonny Lee Miller, who plays Jordan Chase in Season Five5, is British.
* [[Fake Nationality]]/Fake Ethnicity:
** Puerto Rican Lauren Velez as Afro-Cuban-American Maria LaGuerta.
Line 11:
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]:
** [[The Warriors (film)|Ajax]] became a cop after he got busted. Whoda thunk it?
** Look, Dexter's new nanny (on seasonSeason 5) is [[The Tudors|Queen Catherine of Aragon]]
** Not to mention [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Tasha Yar]] as Harry's nurse.
** Sci-Fi nerds will recognize [[Star Wars|Senator Bail Organa]] as Dexter's new best friend.
Line 22:
** [[Stargate SG-1|Bra'tac]] killed {{spoiler|Dexter's mother}}.
*** No it was [[The Terminator|Enrique!]]
** and [[3rd Rock from the Sun|Dick Solomon]] {{spoiler|killed his wife}}.
** The FBI-Agent Lundy is [[Criminal Minds|Frank]] and in the German dub is voiced by the same voice-actor as [[Criminal Minds|Gideon]]. Quite confusing when watched side by side.
** Dexter is related to [[National Treasure|John Wilkes Booth]].
Line 28:
** [[RoboCop]] plays a [[Dirty Cop]] who is investigating Dexter.
*** And Dick Jones is a serial killer.
** [[Band of Brothers|Malarkey]] is {{spoiler|one of Lumen's rapists.}}.
** [[Eli Stone|A lawyer with an aneurysm]] is a big bad of seasonSeason 5.
** [[Everwood|Colin Hart]] causes a lot of trouble as a drug dealer in seasonSeason three3.
** [[May]] is {{spoiler|the first victim of the ring of rapists organized by Jordan Chase}}, and is still in some sort of [[More Than Mind Control|really messed-up]] relationship with him.
** Poor [[Popular|Mary Cherry]]; she married a {{spoiler|rapist who was murdered by Dexter}} as shown in the penultimate episode of seasonSeason five5.
** The Trinity Killer {{spoiler|murders}} [[Angel|Dar]][[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|la]].
** Hey, it's the bad guy from ''[[Buckaroo Banzai]]''! And that's Buckaroo Banzai!
** Nicky seems to have stopped hanging out with [[The Bourne Series|Jason Bourne]] and changed her name to Lumen.
** Vince's intern is [[Heroes (TV series)|Daphne Millbrook]].
Line 41:
** Cody was played by Daniel Goldman in Season 1, and by Preston Bailey from Season 2 onward.
** Taken [[Up to Eleven]] with Harrison: he was portrayed by Brandon Michael Bass in Season 3 (during an [[Imagine Spot]]), by several uncredited babies in Season 4, by twins Luke and Evan Kruntchev from Seasons 5 to 7, and by Jadon Wells in Season 8.
* [[Stunt Casting]]: From Season 3 onward, moderately big names are brought in to play the major recurring characters for each season.
** Jimmy Smits in Season 3.
** John Lithgow in Season 4.
** Julia Stiles, Johnny Lee Miller and Peter Weller in Season 5.
** Collin Hanks and Edward James Olmos in Season 6.
* [[Trolling Creator]]: The show seems to go out of its way to make things as uncomfortable as possible for Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter by ramping up the levels of [[Cast Incest]] ''after'' their [[Real Life]] divorce. Probably the only case of the creator trolling the cast instead of the audience.
