Two of the busiest casting projects continue to add names to their rosters:
- Rapper-turned-actor Mos Def has signed on for Season 6 of Dexter as “hardened ex-con who claims to have found religion yet seems to continually find himself surrounded by violence.” Reportedly, Dexter will “reveal the truth of who he really is” to Mos Def’s character.
