Clancy Brown will join Showtime's Dexter in the role of the revival's primary villain.
According to Variety, Brown will play Kurt Caldwell, who is described as "the unofficial mayor of the small town of Iron Lake. He's realized the American dream by going from driving big rigs, just like his father did, to now owning several trucks and the local truck stop. Powerful, generous, loved by everyone -- he's a true man of the people. If he's got your back, consider yourself blessed. But should you cross Kurt, or hurt anyone that he cares for, God help you."
Some of Brown's previous villainous roles include The Shawshank Redemption's Captain Hadley, Kurgan from Highlander, Ray Schoonover in Daredevil and the voice of Surtur in Thor: Ragnarok. Brown also voiced Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob SquarePants.
Dexter ran for eight seasons on Showtime and starred Michael C. Hall as Dexter Morgan, a forensic expert working for the Miami Police Department. Dexter's secret life as a serial killer often brought him into conflict with his family and coworkers. John Cusack has also been reported to join the Dexter revival for a recurring role.
