Dexter

During Season 8, Angel Batista wasn't always played by David Zayas. His son David Zayas Jr. stands in for his father in some shots, as the two look remarkably alike.

Series star Michael C. Hall revealed he was afflicted with Hodgkin's lymphoma in January 2010, but continued to work on the series. Most of his fellow cast members were surprised by the news, because he had not disclosed his condition during production.

In Season 1, Dexter and Rita watch 'Terms of Endearment' (1983), which features John Lithgow. Lithgow would later star in Season 4 as Arthur Mitchell.
