dec. 21 MCH interview in NZ
Michael C. Hall has largely become famous for his roles involving dead people, first as a funeral director in Six Feet Under and as a murderous sociopath in Dexter, now in its sixth season. In New Zealand to promote the latter, he talks to Rebecca Barry Hill about his success, surviving cancer and finding meaning in nature.

NPR (fresh air) interview w/ David Bianculli →
Holy Crikey!. I mean. I just listened to the radio interview of Michael C. Hall, by David Bianculli (much much more than the print article). And this.. this! is maybe my favorite interview EVER!!!!!!! Go listen!!! MY GOD that man is sharp. And intelligent. F******CK!!!! :).

'Dexter' Recap: Talking 'Talk to the Hand' With...
Alex Moaba, AOL TV: A lot of wild things happened in this episode, but the most interesting was the introduction of some weird, incestuous sexual tension between Deb and Dexter. So your TV step-sister who may have feelings for your character also happens to be your real-life ex-wife. Are the writers just trying to mess with you at this point?
Michael C. Hall: Absolutely. [Laughs] But not without our blessing. Jennifer and I were aware that the story was moving in this direction. We laugh about it, we shake our heads ... but you know, in as much as there are inevitable parallels, we're both very professional and committed to telling this story. And frankly, whatever's happened with Jennifer and me and our relationship's evolution notwithstanding, Dexter in the first episode says, "If I could ever have feelings for anyone, I'd have them for Deb." I think those two characters have been on some kind of collision course from the get-go.
