Author Jeff Lindsay was initially against casting Michael C. Hall as Dexter.
The author had previously seen Hall star in the popular hit show 'Six Feet Under' as the short, gay brother David Fisher and didn't think he would have what it takes to be a convincing killer. (Thankfully, the producers thought otherwise). After seeing Hall speak just one line of the script, Lindsay immediately changed his tune and described Hall as being "absolutely perfect" to portray the role. This is a true testament to Hall's exceptional talent and versatile acting range.
