NEW YORK, Aug. 31 (UPI) -- David Zayas says fans see a new side to his iconic Miami police detective Angel Batista in Dexter: Resurrection.
Angel was a close colleague of forensic blood spatter expert Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) on the original Dexter show, which ran 2006 to 2013, and ended with Dexter faking his own death.
In the Showtime sequel, Resurrection, Angel not only knows Dexter is alive, but chases him to New York City because he strongly suspects he is actually the Bay Harbor Butcher.
"It was wonderful coming back. Any time I can explore this character some more, it's always a benefit to me as an actor -- just creating new interesting facts about Angel Batista," Zayas, 63, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview.
"Angel Batista is in a weird place, having the new revelation of Dexter Morgan being alive and the possibility that he might be involved in a lot of murders that Angel knew personally, throughout the years. It's going to be a different Angel and a different vibe going forward this season," he said. "It is really great as an actor to really sink your teeth into something that's really well-fleshed-out with the great writing that we have."
