A Closer Look at Lithgow and Smits’ Return
John Lithgow as the Trinity Killer
John Lithgow won multiple awards for his bone-chilling portrayal of Arthur Mitchell, also known as the Trinity Killer. Fans last saw him in Dexter: New Blood through haunting flashbacks, but Resurrection suggests his return might be more significant. Could there be new flashbacks, hallucinations, or even more surprises in store?
Jimmy Smits as Miguel Prado
Jimmy Smits made a lasting impression as Miguel Prado, a powerful assistant district attorney who became one of Dexter’s most complicated foes. His return marks the first time Smits has appeared in the franchise since Dexter Season 3. Interestingly, a younger version of his character was recently portrayed by Nick Santucci in Dexter: Original Sin, hinting at a deeper exploration of Prado’s past and present.
