John Lightglow in Dexter
John Lithgow, who played Trinity in the last two seasons of Dexter, has confirmed that he will be filming scenes from his appearance this fall (coming soon!). He is already a fan favorite for his portrayal of one of television’s most notorious villains. He recently won an Emmy award for Outstanding Guest Actor in Drama Series with only five appearances on Dexter.
So what can fans expect when John returns to play another hitman?! No plot details or spoilers yet, but Michael C Hall promises that John will be back for the series finale. John Lithgow is exclusive to Dexter and cannot appear in any other television show, so fans are very excited that John will be making a return appearance!
John’s character was last seen with his face blown off by an undetonated bomb leftover from Season Six–a time when he had become paranoid about being discovered as Trinity’s identity as well as worry about what would happen if Rita were to find out who her father really was. This season, John has been busy filming on Broadway, but now it seems like John has found some extra time in his schedule because Michael C Hall just tweeted: “I got my man – John Lightglow!”
If you are not familiar with John Lithgow will portray the Trinity Killer as he was in season one. John is set to film with Dexter star Michael C. Hall and series’ producer Sara Colleton over the summer months!
