On the Showtime drama Dexter, which began its second season, Erik King is intimidating as Sergeant Doakes, the member of the Miami Police Department who most doggedly suspects coworker Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) of foul play. In real life, he couldn’t be more different. Erik King is a funny, charming guy who’s so effortlessly pleasant to speak with you almost forget how terrifying his character is.
BuddyTV spoke to Erik King in anticipation of the new season of Dexter. Though he was careful in not revealing too much about what’s to come, he certainly didn’t shy away from discussing some of the larger issues in store for both his character and Dexter this season. He also spoke about shooting in Los Angeles vs. Miami, the reaction he gets from fans, and Michael C. Hall’s Emmy snub. Below you will find the transcript as well as the mp3 audio file of the interview. BuddyTV
My favorite character on Dexter besides Dexter himself. Fuck you muddafucker!
