John Lithgow is a seasoned actor recognized for his many roles in various projects. Recently his iconic role in “Dexter” as The Trinity Killer has become relevant with a discussion of a potential spin off . As his presence is in high demand the return is highly anticipated.
John Lithgow made an unforgetable impact on the show “Dexter” in season four as “The Trinity Killer”. Fans found him a very unique villain and now, he has become a very high profile name with talk of a prequel of that iconic character . His character's presence in “Dexter” remains an element that creates both suspense along with an intense humanistic component.
Lithgow has a memorable performance that earned him both a Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy Award for his complex take on a dark individual who committed various horrendous crimes while acting as an ordinary member of society. He gave the feeling of an every man yet is a deranged and methodical serial killer.
Due to great feedback regarding Lithgow’s character during the series there is talk of expanding his story in a new project. He is set to narrate a younger version of himself using his memorable voice adding another layer to an already complex persona. Though the focus may be centered on this iconic figure how much detail will truly be provided is still unknown.
Though The Trinity Killer was an antagonist to Dexter, the idea that this show is about an individual character it has left fans pondering if he is someone who should have this opportunity. The focus of all events will give greater insights to how the dark side develops. It remains a high stake area to explore given his unique background and that it will be delivered as its own solo show.
There are several methods that are currently creating a bond between "Dexter Original Sin” and this spin off including one that viewers can see in the episode “Kid in the Candy Store."
During the second episode the image of a Trinity Killer victim appeared as part of one of Dexter's case files adding a connection. It gave a subtle yet haunting nod to an era that was coming showing fans their worlds are still connected and all new insights may be given from this development.
Though this concept is widely desired among many that follow the series, they wonder what format it will take. As for Dexter he had his own moral code that at times he followed giving him depth while his opposite lacks a human core of compassion. He will be an untrustworthy source to drive the narrative of this new expansion.
Many may believe the writers will be challenged in showcasing the origins of the character while not humanizing his monstrous deeds or the reasons behind those actions. While an origin story can lead to emotional aspects what will be prioritized has still yet to be determined. The writing will be the determining factor on if this series will ultimately have success for a wider demographic and more fans.
While known for being “The Trinity Killer” it is noted that the actor has had many performances that showcases his range as a performer. With a lengthy resume including film, TV and stage projects he also has won various awards making this role memorable but one that does not completely define all the talents he brings.
Throughout all performances Lithgow always makes every character memorable with detail. He also does his due diligence to transform into whatever is asked of him with great focus. His many wins in Golden Globes, Emmy awards and various accolades speak for his long career in many types of diverse roles that continue to challenge himself as a performer.
As of this time the show is still in production with all aspects of character design being set in place and other casting decisions are underway. The series is said to go to camera in a planned format that is aiming to give a unique experience using different points from the source material.
Many are anticipating some key questions answered including why is this monster the way he is, will also be important for those who watch who want to explore the mind of someone with this type of unique and complex personality. The challenge for production and design is how that narrative will be portrayed on screen while making sure to create interest.
