Showtime's award-winning series Dexter follows a seemingly mild-mannered vigilante serial killer Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) as he spends his days solving crimes and his nights committing them. Dexter's eight-season run has featured a strong ensemble cast of Latino cast members in lead and supporting roles. The series will make its basic cable premiere on NUVOtv in January, uncut and in its entirety. NUVOtv is the premiere English-language entertainment network created for the modern Latino audience. Actress and singer Jennifer Lopez serves as NUVOtv’s Chief Creative Officer.

As a homicide detective on Dexter, David Zayas works closely with Dexter and the team on their various forensics cases. He is the ex-husband of Capt. LaGuerta, played by Lauren Velez.
