Serial killer Dexter Morgan will have a new source of inspiration and obsession in the next season of Dexter, and it's a two-time Academy Award nominee. John Lithgow, star of 3rd Rock From the Sun, has been cast as a legendary serial killer that moves to Miami in Dexter's fourth season, according to the network.
Showtime says Lithgow, who received back-to-back Oscar nominations for The World According to Garp and Terms of Endearment in the 1980s, has been cast as "The Trinity Killer," a seemingly normal man who just happens to be one of the country's longest tenured serial killers. Dexter returns in late September, and Lithgow will be featured in all 12 episodes.
Fox's 24 has also added to its cast, signing on Jennifer Westfeldt and John Boyd for the upcoming eighth season, says The Hollywood Reporter. Westfeldt (Kissing Jessica Stein) will play journalist Meredith Reed, and Boyd (Fringe) will have his breakout role as a CTU systems analyst.
