THR: Mos Def has finalized a deal for a multi-episode arc on the sixth season of Dexter, according to sources.
The actor and hip hop artist will play a hardened ex-con who claims to have found religion yet seems to continually find himself surrounded by violence. Michael C. Hall’s Dexter will reveal the truth of who he really is.
Best news I heard all week. Mos Def is awesome. Hopefully his role has some depth and he's not wasted.
He's an amazing rapper and actor, among other things.
I like his acting skills, he should be a nice addition to the series.
I think Mos Def is definitely somewhat underrated when it comes to his acting (as sometimes happens to musicians-turned-actors due to the stigma behind it). He definitely is really good and I've enjoyed him in everything I've seen him in.
He was great in The Italian Job and Be Kind, Rewind
