NEW YORK, Feb. 17 (UPI) -- Jack Alcott says his Dexter: Resurrection character Harrison is still grappling with the truth that he is a serial killer's son even after he shoots him, leaves him for dead and takes off in the hopes of reinventing himself.
"We find Harrison just on the run, literally and figuratively," Alcott, 29, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview. "He fled the scene of the crime and is doing everything he can to try to start a new life, to try to leave all of the trauma -- there's a lot of it -- behind him."
Released on DVD and Blu-ray Tuesday, Resurrection picks up 10 weeks after the events of 2021's Dexter: New Blood, which itself was a sequel to the iconic series, Dexter, which ran 2006 through 2013.
"In that last scene in New Blood, the line that sort of still rings really, really true to me... is Harrison saying to his father: 'Look, I don't want to be right. I just want to be normal.' And this is his whole-hearted effort at doing that for himself," Alcott said.
"But, as most people would guess, you can't just make all of that disappear. That's too much," he added. "It's even everything that he had going BEFORE the events of New Blood. It's a lot. I can shape a person and then he kills his dad. So, he's trying so hard to run from it, but that's just going to catch you at some point. And I think it's sooner rather than later."
