It's impossible to imagine anybody but Michael C. Hall in the role of Dexter. Only he has that slightly devilish look in his eyes masked by a general air of aw shucks, me? regular dude-ness. Only he has that charmingly deadpan voice. Only he would agree to all of those ridiculous outfits he had to wear as somebody living in Miami. Except he wasn't the first choice to play the character. No, the actor was initially approached was Jeremy Renner. Director/Producer Michael Cuesta got in touch with the future Oscar-nominated actor long before his career-making turn in The Hurt Locker, asking Renner to play Dexter. Hawkeye ultimately declined because he didn't want to play another serial killer so soon after (ahem) killing it in the title role of 2002's Dahmer.
