ROHAN: Krysten, Mia kinds a fast reference to Dexter. With out giving an excessive amount of away, do you suppose she sees in him the identical ethical code—or darkness—that he sees in her?
KRYSTEN: I believe there’s actual intrigue. She desires to know extra the second she sees him, and I believe she finds him type of horny, so she goes after him. She’s any person who, you already know, actually dials into any person and, yeah, attending to work reverse Michael C. Corridor and play this scrumptious, excessive, glamorous, barely deranged serial killer. It was like a theme park trip.

KRYSTEN: Completely, the darkish, twisted one which’s type of scary.
ROHAN: Eric, there’s a line early on the place Al talks about balancing household life with being a serial killer. In getting ready for the function, did you dive into how actual-life killers compartmentalize so successfully?
ERIC: You already know, I’ve a household life and a stability that – nothing as darkish as Al – however, you already know, all of us try this in a way, and so, you already know, you may’t, as an actor, consider it as like, effectively, I am balancing my household life with murdering folks. You must make it one thing that is extra relatable to you because the performer. So, I believe I did that in numerous methods, and once more, it is like, what’s written on the web page is that I kill folks, proper? So, I do not actually should put any extra mustard on that. What I’ve to do is create a personality that you do not really feel you’d ever see coming in 1,000,000 years, which was actually enjoyable for me, and coming into the hallway there in that episode, and singing Mamma Mia and seeing Dexter was only a dream come true in that second. So, you already know, I hope I used to be profitable in making folks really feel weirded out.
ROHAN: David, after we first meet Gareth, there’s a way of weariness to him. Has the burden of being the notorious Gemini Killer began to meet up with him—or is there one thing deeper occurring beneath the floor?

Like, once you discuss who had a more durable job to carry, it is like, effectively, he is coming into it instantly. Everyone’s like, effectively, he seems like a serial killer.
DAVID: Yeah, when Scott goes, oh, I used to be scripting this and I mentioned, oh, we bought to get David Dastmalchian for this function, I’m going, what does that say about me? I do not know the right way to take that, however I do.

Among the best at holding secrets and techniques, and the secrets and techniques that I’ve give me an advantageous edge over Dexter, and it is going to be actually enjoyable to disclose for the viewers what these secrets and techniques are.
ERIC: I believe Al would like to go to Dexter’s desk and have some meals and a few pleasant treats and snacks. I believe that sounds nice. What’s Dexter’s desk?
