    Dexter Dexter Dexter hide show

    Can't wait to watch the next episode of Dexter !! it' the same every Sunday .. waiting patiently to have this quality time with this great show. Micheal introduces himself -at least to me - as a real first class actor . Great acting and it's still getting better ,, now at emotional scenes he can show great performance and sensitivity he wouldn't show it in the previous seasons I believe it' because of the role itself which he managed to keep me attached and attracted to no matter how cruel ans non-human it is and I think Micheal is the key word in this show ,, of course it's obvious but I mean he is irreplaceable and I can't imagine any other actor can make this role instead of him ... you rock Micheal keep it up !!

    One of the best television actors! hide show

    Hot!!! He also plays a very convincing serial killer… love him in Dexter; glad he made an amazing recovery from his cancer, can't wait for season 5!!!!!!! It's also good to see that he's a family man and commited to his wife Jennifer Carpenter. I thought he and Julie Benz played the perfect husband and wife throughout Dexter and would love to see them act together again some time in the future. I'm dying for the next season to come back, I can't wait to see what happens next!! I don't think anyone could top his struggle with the Trinity Killer!

    Dexter Morgan on Dexter and David Fisher on Six Feet Under hide show

    Michael C Hall is one of the greatest actors on modern day television. I know him from 2 shows. Six Feet Under where he played one of the main characters who was a homosexual, and Dexter where he plays THE main character who is a serial killer.

    As you can see - those are not your everyday characters. However, Michael did an incredible job with both. He made me believe that he was gay and he made me believe that he is a serial killer. And that's a big achievement.

    He performs best when he has to pull off an emotional(Six Feet Under) scene or if he has to pull off a scene where he's actually in alot of trouble, but still manages to come out as a winner(Dexter). I love his portrayal of a perfectly confident and an emotionally vulnerable man.

    Overall, Michael C Hall is one of the most capable actors on TV right now.

    he is one of the best. hide show

    Michael C. Hall has something that makes him unique. I first saw him in six feet under and his performance was great and i became a fan of him and then he appeared in dexter as dexter morgan, a serial killer and a blood splatter expert. The show is great itself, it has a wonderful story and plot but Michael C. Hall made it better with his performance. I cannot believe how good he is at acting his role. I cannot wait to see him in different roles and i believe whatever tv show he appears in will be great to watch.

    One great actor hide show

    When I first saw Six Feet Under, I was immediately taken by Hall's performance as taciturn, anguished gay son David Fisher. How he could play such a tortured character and still keep a boyish innocence about him is simply impressive in my book.

    Now that Six Feet Under is, well, six feet under (and mind you, it went down in dignity), I get to watch Hall as the title character in Dexter, and it definitely would not be as great a show without him.

    I'm kind of sad that he doesn't do movies (other than Paycheck), but in a way, I'm glad as well, as he's got a unique, quietly powerful talent that is best suited for TV shows.
