Ray Stevenson: Episode Review: Dexter – “Argentina” JJ MILLER NOVEMBER 21, 2012 (BASED ON NOTHING)



With disappointment over last week’s “Chemistry” still lingering over me, much like a rain cloud does over a crestfallen cartoon character, I flipped on this week’s episode of Dexter (the somewhat cryptically titled “Argentina”) with little enthusiasm and even less expectation of a good episode of television. The episode begins much as any other episode has done in the past, with Dexter and his new girlfriend Hannah chatting over a nice breakfast about the many people they have killed and the ways in wh- Wait. Serial killers talking about homicide over breakfast as if it were yesterday’s news? My interest is piqued (well done Dexter writers), although I’m still not convinced of “Argentina’s” quality. How could I be? After all, it’s only five minutes into the episode.

Cut to Isaak Sirko, who is again out for blood. This time, he manages to fire a few shots in Dex’s direction while our hero(?) is casually picking up his morning doughnuts. How rude. Luckily, Sirko only manages to assassinate a couple iced crullers as his aim seems to have grown slightly rusty during his abbreviated stint in the big house. After nearly losing his head at the doughnut shop, Dexter gets a call from his ex-wife’s parents who have been looking after his young son Harrison. This only serves to complicate Dexter’s life further, as Harrison must return to Miami due to unforeseen circumstances involving Dexter’s father-in-law and a wayward gallstone. Perhaps (definitely) even more unfortunate is the fact that both Astor and Cody, Dex’s step-children, will be accompanying Harrison on the visit. Despite the inconvenient nature of their arrival in Miami, including Astor and Cody in “Argentina” is a welcome connection to Dexter seasons past. For whatever reason, their presence gives the episode a sense of credibility and again I feel I’m being whisked away to the sunny, scary Miami haunted by the Ice Truck Killer.

As I’m being whisked away by these feelings of warm nostalgia, LaGuerta decides she really, really can’t leave well enough alone and decides to dig even further into the closed Bay Harbor Butcher murder cases. She still isn’t convinced her former beau, Sgt. James Doakes (who, lest we forget was also a member of Miami Metro Homicide) acted as the notorious murderer. Her incessant investigation has led her to some long forgotten marina records which unfortunately link Dexter to the BHB murders. She seems to have put all the pieces together and her discovery is looking like it is going to be the highlight of the episode when… BAM! Debra decides this week is the perfect time to tell Dexter she is in love with him.

Yes, you read that right. Debra has admitted to having romantic feelings for her serial killer brother, further proving theirs is the most dysfunctional brother-sister relationship of all time. Dexter, proving yet again he is world’s greatest compartmentalizer, decides this is the perfect time to go kill Isaak.

To be fair, after a revelation like that, you’d want to blow off some steam too. Can’t blame the guy.

Dex stalks Sirko all the way to a swanky bar, which seems relatively deserted. Curiosity gets the better of him and Dexter ends up bar-side with the very man who ruined his Boston Kremes earlier that morning. Again pushing the limits of his curiosity, Dex questions Isaak as to just why he would so casually venture into such a bar at such a time (when so many people want him dead). Isaak responds by casually asking Dexter to take a look around. He does.

It’s a gay bar.

RAY STEVENSON: ‘DEXTER’ PREVIEW: ISAAK GETS PERSONAL IN NEW “HELTER SKELTER” CLIPS by Kevin Fitzpatrick Yesterday (SCREEN CRUSH)



While last night’s all-new ‘Dexter‘ episode “Argentina” felt mostly like a relaxed, contemplative episode, next Sunday’s “Helter Skelter” will definitely live up to its name.  Unable to be talked out of his murderous vendetta against Dexter, Isaak (Ray Stevenson) next sets his sights on hurting Hannah McKay (Yvonne Strahovski)!  Will Deb be willing to help her brother out, following last night’s tense confession?  Watch the clips inside to find out!

A new day has finally dawned for ‘Dexter,’ as the series seems ot have found a renewed energy and purpose not seen for years.  Last night’s “Argentina” certainly proved that point, weaving together multiple stories from the current and season’s past, but with four episodes remaining in the season, is the spatter about to hit the fan?  It certainly looks that way given the below clips from upcoming episode “Helter Skelter.”

Ray Stevenson: ‘Dexter’ Season 7 Episode 5 – Forget Trinity, It’s Dexter Vs. The Terminator by SEAN B. on OCTOBER 29, 2012 (BUZZ FOCUS)



In just a few episodes, Isaak Sirko (Ray Stevenson) is making a serious case for the title of Dexter’s Baddest Villain.

Season 7 got one episode older last night with “Swim Deep,” which managed to take the tension to levels unseen since Season 4.

Not wasting a minute with filler storylines, Episode 5 saw Deb continuing to figure out which way her moral compass points, Hannah (inadvertently) outing herself (to Dexter) that she was just as murderous as her partner Wayne and Stevenson channeling The Punisher as he went Max Payne on a bar full of rival gang members.

The squeeze is on for Dexter and it doesn’t appear as if even he is deft enough to elude everything closing in on him.

Ray Stevenson: ‘Dexter’ season 7 spoilers: The new villains speak out! (CARTER)

In a new behind-the-scenes video released by Showtime below, you can see for the first time Stevenson and Gedrick talking about the joy that they had taking on these roles, and just about how secretive the filming process has been for them in comparison to some other shows. There is also a tiny bit of new footage in this video, though we cannot fully say that it is anything that will make you salivate. Really, it feels like a similar sort of communication you would expect from Dexter now that Isaac knows what he has been up to.



Although we are still unsure as to whether or not they are the only villains on this season of “Dexter,” there is no denying at the moment that Ukrainian mob boss Isaac (Ray Stevenson) and George (Jason Gedrick) are very bad dudes. They’ve been involved in the show’s story from the beginning courtesy of a case all around a gentleman’s club, and things are about to get far worse than ever now that Dexter has more or less implicated himself as the killer of Viktor, one of Isaac’s close friends who was responsible for taking the life of one of the dancers.

Ray Stevenson: ***SPOILER*** 'Dexter' faces his new reality 4 BY BILL HARRIS ,QMI AGENCY (TORONTO SUN)




There's a TV show that debuted this fall called The New Normal. That's exactly what Dexter Morgan is facing right now.

But having seen the second episode of the seventh season of Dexter, which aired Sunday night on The Movie Network and Movie Central in Canada and on Showtime in the United States, what we don't know is this:

For Dexter, is his "new normal" truly a life-altering reality, or will it prove to be merely an inconvenience?

SPOILER ALERT: This is a review of the Dexter episode titled Sunshine and Frosty Swirl, and is meant for people who saw it. If you don’t want to know what happened, now’s the time to bail.

Okay, the first episode of the seventh season ended with Dexter (Michael C. Hall) being confronted by his foster sister Deb (Jennifer Carpenter), who posed the question, "Are you a serial killer?" Dexter answered, "Yes."

Episode two picked up where that conversation left off, with Deb understandably freaking out. But she didn't freak out quite as much as I would have thought. She went to work the next day. Despite the fact she's a police lieutenant now, don't you think she'd have to take a day or two off?

One of the guest stars who will join this 7th season is none other than Ray Stevenson. He will be playing the head of a Russian crime syndicate who arrives in Miami determined to find out who killed one of his associates. For now, this is all I can say about his role but let me further give you more info’s about who he is in real life.

George Raymond "Ray" Stevenson was born on May 25, 1964. He is an Irish film and television actor. He is best known for playing Titus Pullo in the television series Rome (2005–2007), and in film as Dragonet in King Arthur (2004) and as Frank Castle/The Punisher in Punisher: War Zone (2008) and The Super Hero Squad Show.

He made his debut in The Theory of Flight (1998) with Kenneth Branagh and Helena Bonham Carter, where he played the part of a gigolo hired to help Bonham Carter's character to lose her virginity. He was in other films including The Theory of Flight, The Vampires Assistant, The Book of Eli, The Other Guys, Kill the Irishman, The Three Musketeers, Thor, and Thor The Dark World and a lot more.

Ray Stevenson: 'Dexter' exec on season seven: 'Everyone's plot is thickening' Published Wednesday, Jul 4 2012, 5:44am EDT | By Morgan Jeffery (DIGITAL SPY)




Dexter exec Sara Colleton has hinted at upcoming plots in the show's seventh season.

The showrunner revealed to TV Guide that Quinn (Desmond Harrington) has a past relationship with a new character, club manager George (Jason Gedrick).

"When the Miami Metro has to investigate the killing of a fellow police officer, it leads them to one of Isaac (Ray Stevenson)'s clubs that George manages," Colleton explained.

"Quinn knows George from his days in narcotics because, along with it being a driving nightclub stripper business, it's also a place where the Ukrainian mob laundered a lot of money and passed its drugs and guns and all sort of things."

Dexter Season 7 Teaser: Blink and You'll Miss the Goods July 03, 2012 (HDR)

DEXTER TRAILER - LOOK FAST




The truth is out in Dexter: Season 7 and no doubt it will hurt Deb as she tries to come to terms with her brother's "condition" while struggling to deal with her newfound feelings for him.

Leave it to Showtime to deliver the first official footage from Dexter: Season 7 in a way that will make your head spin. Rather than deliver a traditional trailer, Showtime has spit out a collage of footage that must have been edited by The Flash. The great thing about Internet videos is the pause button so let's dissect some of what jumps out.


Joining the cast in Dexter: Season 7 are Ray Stevenson as an Eastern European crime ring lord who comes to Miami in search for answers in the death of one of his associates (most likely offed by Dexter); Yvonne Strahovski as Hannah McKay, a woman with a "dangerous path" who gets tangled up with Miami Metro; and Jason Gedrick as the owner of a gentleman's club that will see Ray Stevenson frequent.

Dexter: Season 7 kicks off its premiere episode on Sunday, September 30 on Showtime.

Ray Stevenson: 'Dexter' Adds Swedish Actress for Sexy, Recurring Role (THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER)


Showtime's Dexter is apparently going to be spending a lot of time at a strip club in its upcoming seventh season.

The Michael C. Hall-Jennifer Carpenter starrer has enlisted Swedish actress Katia Winter to play a Russian stripper who works at a Miami club, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.


As first reported by TVLine, Winter will join the serial killer drama in a major recurring role, joining Season 7 newbies Jason Gedrick -- who will play the manger of the same Miami strip club -- and Ray Stevenson, who has been cast as the leader of a Russian organized crime syndicate.

Premiering Sept. 30 at 9 p.m., production on Season 7 of Dexter began this month in Los Angeles and will feature the Miami club linked to a high profile murder case as the season's central case.

Ray Stevenson: Dexter Season 7 May 22, 2012 by Anthony Ocasio (SCREEN RANT)



Production on Dexter season 7 is set to begin this week (May 23rd), and the cast is still growing: Showtime has announced that Jason Gedrick will be joining the series for a multiple-episode arc.

Known most recently for his role as Jerry Boyle on HBO’s Luck, Gedrick’s currently unnamed character is described as an “owner of a Miami-area gentlemen’s club that becomes linked to a high-profile murder case.” Perhaps not the best position to be in when there’s a serial killer vigilante out searching for new “victims.” Has Dexter (Michael C. Hall) found his second big bad for season 7?


Rome star Ray Stevenson was previously announced for a reoccurring role, playing the leader of a Russian organized crime syndicate. Considering Stevenson’s high-profile upcoming roles in G.I. Joe: Retaliation and Thor 2 (reprising his role from Thor), he will likely play a major part in Dexter season 7. Throw in the phrase “Russian organized crime” and, well, it’s time to prep the plastic-wrap.
