KPCS: Michael C. Hall

Television's most lovable serial killer, actor Michael C. Hall (Dexter, Six Feet Under), shares insights with Kevin in which even the most devout fans haven't heard. Details include performing eight shows a week during his beginnings on Broadway, as wells as all the wonderful talent he got to work along side with on Dexter. He also sings the theme from his improv troop "Off the Cuff!"

[@gsd8754]

He was really PERFECT for the Dexter role. Props to the casting team for picking him

[@melissathomas2780]

Can you believe it was offered to Jeremy Renner? Would’ve ruined the show.

[@Sciteach6]

Every role he had, he was perfect for. He took each character and made them his own.

[@usgovernment182]

Dexter did a good job acting like Michael Hall here.

[@patrick4662]

Let’s not forget David fisher

[@jg11x11]

Kyle Butler was just an act

[@missthing4]

He's quite brilliant and genuine. I don't know how to explain it. I just want to see more from him.

[@natc1032]

Michael C. Hall is literally the definition of perfection …

This is by far the best interview I've seen from Michael C. Hall. He's a fairly reserved guy, and on standard talk shows, the time is very limited, so he never gets to open up. He seems to have really enjoyed himself here. This is the first interview that I felt I learned something about him. Good show!

[@cassiemorgan785]

Yes, it was thoroughly enjoyable.

[@Drew090111]

You should also check out Michael C. Hall on The Nerdist podcast if you like this.

[@musicmann1967]

Andrew Terrell Cool Andrew. I'll do that. Thanks!

[@Drew090111]

Larry Lachmann No problem, although the Nerdist interview is based on comedy. So, they do go off topic ALOT on that podcast. Just a warning, just in case that's not the kind of interview you're into,

[@jennifertimlin1371]

I think he was relieved to be free of those roles. At least temporarily.

[@David-iu6sp]

michael is such a pure, intelligent, and lovable human being. he's so sweet and he deserves everything.

[@Sciteach6]

He is SO talented. Not just acting either. His singing voice is wonderful. I love his band Princess Goes to the Butterfly Museum. And I can’t wait for season 9 of Dexter.

[@neoasura]

He has a band?

Got to meet him on the street a few times in NYC. He was always approachable and very nice.

Absolutely brilliant actor to play a gay mortician to a loveable killer, pretty impressive. He needs to be in more projects. Much love sir! ❤️

Over two hours of Michael c. Hall. I'm extremely pleased with this interview. It's one of the most in-depth, honest and informational interviews I've ever seen

[@raunac8643]

He is such a daddy

[@Obama8mycupcake]

Im still watching Dexter I'm on season five episode 2 and I'm glad though because i still can be excited and interested in this show that its so fun. Micheal C Hall is the best actor alive the best!

[@physicsguybrian]

He plays Dexter so perfectly. Michael says in the interview that because Dexter is disconnected, in some ways it is easier to play the role. I think he is being modest here because Dexter is a complicated character with ever evolving processes. Michael C Hall is an outstanding actor. Ultra talented!

[@heidimsw]

+Relatixe: Many people disliked Season 5. They thought it was anti-climactic. I liked it, and I loved the "romance" with Julia Stiles's character. There are more things that the character of Dexter needs to go through, and he evolves and devolves in Seasons 6-8. I know you wrote this comment 3 years ago, so I'm sure you watched all seasons. What did you think overall, and how did you feel about the ending? BTW: I agree that Michael C. Hall is a great actor for sure. However, I was BLOWN away by Jennifer Carpenter's portrayal of Dexter's sister Deb. I thought her acting was beyond superb; she moved me to tears on at least 2 occasions during the show's tenure because her acting was so convincing and REAL.

[@christinefoster1874]

Best interview from an incredible actor ! I just LOVE Michael ! He is so HOT OMG !

[@SuzyQ88]

Loved this - fascinating to learn about intriguing actors and understand what goes on in their heads. 2 hours disappeared in a flash 🤭. Love his sense of humour! And he’s refreshingly down to earth. Watched 8 seasons of Dexter in 10 days (thankful I don’t have to wait 10 years for Dexter: New Blood!) and currently watching Six Feet Under.

[@clarkkent1523]

I just can’t get over the fact that he picked Hannah over Rita😥

[@Tropicdog1211]

I think it's so cute that he yelled "Action" in his sleep!!

[@Dahlialynn]

A unique, impressively insightful down-to-earth interview. Rarely does one get to see the deeper truths explored in such detail and within such a familiar, relaxed atmosphere. Pollak maintains a pleasant symbiotic balance in communication and chemistry with Hall throughout the entire interview, and with such meaningful questions rarely posed outside of the living room if at all, I found myself totally intrigued. Thank you for sharing this!

[@natemiller448]

Hall is usually standoffish during interviews...this is very refreshing and he seems comfortable. Fun to watch.

[@nemospodcast6766]

It’s because he’s talking to his peers. He’s very comfortable he’s not talking to some interviewer

Funny I never thought of people thinking Kevin Pollock as HOT LOL

[@Ripcurlgrl]

Best interview with MCH that I have seen as it is one industry professional speaking to another & no stupid "fan" questions either from actual fans or interviewers acting as the medium, you could say the fans' voyeur. The biggest surprise for me was that KP started as a stand-up comedian and what his agent said to him because he's a bloody good actor.

[@entlvr35]

I came on for Dexter & discovered, Kevin. I look forward to checking out some of your other interviews.

[@freeat_last7375]

this needed to be 30 mins of good interview over blathering Kevin Pollak 'I'm a cool laid back dude that can get away with being interesting when I am not.' kudos to MCHall for giving him his time and not saying, "Dude, you;'e killing me here...because you're an 'actor' and a 'comedian' and you 'get me' you're still boring and unprepared!"

[@MapleNewf]

I wonder if Mike ever look at his schedule that day he went to this interview then peered up from his paper menacingly like "Tonight's the night" 😂😂😂😂😂 Love Dexter. No one else could've sold the character as well as him. And he's a genuine decent fella in the interview man. Props to him🔥🙌

[@martyg11]

Great in depth interview, an insight into the man, his characters and craft

[@jamestacular]

The vibe I'm getting from Michael is that after 8 seasons of investing in Dexter he himself may be starting to feel certain "urges" as Dexter did. As long as he sticks with the code.

[@maleahboss]

Ha ha ha

[@Vousie]

Well, I think the main reason why people find so much similarities, is simply that by the looks of it, Dexter's "fake nice" personality for people is actually mainly just Michael's real personality.

Michael: Uhh eating out *laughs*

[@jennifertimlin1371]

He was part of two great series that had mediocre endings. Makes sense he would want a reboot. Pollack was close. Not a movie, but a reboot.

[@gennasaunders5558]

This interviewers crazy man, hes like making statements as opposed to actually asking questions....which is what he supposed to do. He also stutters and stammers non stop

[@kevob]

I enjoyed the interview, I think Dexter actually lets his guard down, Michael seems very sneaky like his star turn, part of me feels like I am watching Dexter, they don't seem a million miles away from each other, it must be really confusing for people when meeting Michael and annoying for him.

[@ArtyMars]

In theory the character dexter is playing a Normal guy, so Michael is playing an evil character that’s playing a normal guy like him if that makes sense 😂

He looks exactly like one of my coworkers.

[@claudes.whitacre1241]

I had no idea that Kevin Pollak was such a talented interviewer. And...when I hear his voice, i always hear his impression of William Shatner. In fact, When I see William Shatner in the old Star Trek shows, I actually see Kevin Pollaks impression of him. Weird.

[@250joules]

Wow I can’t believe I just watched a 2-hour interview. Never knew Pollack had a show before. Interesting that Michael C Hall signed on for two hours! Great info, love him. FYI he doesn’t talk about his marriage to Jennifer or really any super personal stuff but still good. You’re welcome 😉

[@younifyvii5532]

dexter plays a convincing michael

[@insaneirishND]

The fact that Pollack does bring up his past acting successes as often as he does....its no surprise that he does talk too much, whether it be about himself or something delayed just to not put the attention on the guest.

It sort of seems like the point is to be unbounded and go with the flow. A relaxed conversation that could go anywhere. It kind of works.

[@august149]

@@physicsguybrianit works in a sense that the interviewee is comfortable and it makes the interview more entertaining as opposed to a short timed, sorta scripted conversation but it makes the interviewer a bit unlikeable cause he just keeps going on and on

[@aaronglenn6567]

I hope Michael c hall buys the dexter rights when they go down and then Rewrite the ending again.. but for real like if they wrote like season 8 was the end.. or if they reshoot the last 15-20 minutes… I don’t know why showtime Wouldn’t order a reshoot after seeing the finale If I was Espinosa I would have ordered that shit….

[@JannieNU]

I'm a little late to the show obviously but who is the intended audience here? Too much focus on the technical side unless you're 'in the biz," I think. It would be great to hear celebrities talk more about their roles in general and the affect these opportunities had/have on their lives while acknowledging the fans for their roll in their successes. Just wasn't relatable...too dexter'ish maybe??
