First Official Look at Patrick Dempsey in “Dexter: Original Sin”

Entertainment Weekly just released the first official photos of Patrick Dempsey’s and Sarah Michelle Gellar’s characters.

Have a look at Patrick Dempsey as Captain Aaron Spencer in the upcoming Dexter: Original Sin coming out this December.

In the short interview Patrick explains that the look for the character was his idea: “I have to tell you, it was discovered accidentally,” […] “I was on holiday and I hadn’t shaved in a while. I shaved my beard off because we were getting ready to come home and I kept the mustache going, thinking, ‘Maybe I should do this,’ because I was looking at a lot of vintage training videos of Miami police in the ’70s and they all had mustaches. And then my hair was long and I slicked it back and I sent the picture to makeup and hair and they loved the idea, and that’s how it started.”

He also explains that he enjoys the physical transformation and the opportunity to do something different: “This is what I’m looking for, to do something where I’m able to physically transform,” he says. “I’ve been fortunate enough to have a good long career and create a character that is beloved, so it’s nice to have an opportunity to come in and [do something totally different]. Hopefully the fans will embrace this character — I think it helps, changing the look, so that people will look twice and go, ‘Oh wait, what’s going on here?'”

Patrick Dempsey also reveals that he has only signed on for one year.
