'Dexter' casting scoop: Charlotte Rampling lands key season 8 role -- EXCLUSIVE
A veteran British actress has landed a key role in the upcoming eighth (and possibly final) season of Showtime’s
Dexter.
Charlotte Rampling has been cast in a recurring role as a neuro-psychiatrist who specializes in working with young psychopaths and profiling criminals in unorthodox ways. We hear the role has a significant impact on next season’s story.
Rampling was in
The Avengers (okay, the original 1967 TV version of
The Avengers, but still…) and is best known to U.S. audiences from her roles in films such as
Stardust Memories (1980),
The Verdict (1982) and playing the mother of Keira Knightley’s title role character in
The Duchess (2008).
As we previously reported,
Dexter is
returning early for its eighth season, debuting June 30 to serve as a lead-in for new Showtime series
Ray Donovan, which stars Liev Schreiber as a professional “fixer” for the rich and famous.
