Hello Ray Stevenson you silver fox Posted on March 2, 2013 By Pip Ellwood - (EF)

We know that fancying the villain in a series is not usually the done thing but Ray Stevenson is making us a little swoony in the new season of Dexter.

The Irish actor plays Isaak Sirko, the mob boss that makes Dexter’s life a misery over the course of the seventh season. He also has the Miami Metro Homicide Division in his sights. Ooo he’s an evil bugger.

/Ray’s been in loads of stuff over the years including Rome, Thor and The Three Musketeers. He’s definitely a bit of a silver fox and sometimes we prefer an older man.

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’ 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 Interview by David Fletcher (INDEPENDENT FILM QUARTERLY)

Ray Stevenson first came on the scene as the lead in HBO’s Rome. Since then, he has managed a steady stream of work as a vital part of ensemble casts in Cirque du Freak, Book of Eli and The Other Guys.

In March, Anchor Bay released Kill the Irishman –the true story of Danny Greene (played by Stevenson), a tough Irish thug working for mobsters in Cleveland during the 1970s. In May he will star as Volstagg in Paramount’s Thor and then in the Fall as Porthos in Summit’s 3D The Three Musketeers. It’s confirmed: 2011 is the Year of Ray Stevenson.

Independent Film Quarterly’s David Fletcher recently sat down with Ray Stevenson inside his suite at The London Hotel in West Hollywood, CA.

IFQ: Can you tell me a little bit about your character in Kill the Irishman?

Ray Stevenson:  Danny Greene! When I first read the script, I thought something resonated. I heard this story before somewhere. Then I remembered three or four years previous, I saw American Mobsters. This particular episode was about Danny Greene. I remembered the live footage, the bits of Shondor Birns car after his demise, and Cleveland at that time and tracking his life. It’s such an amazing slice of Americana. It was a period when cars didn’t get any bigger, lapels didn’t get bigger, mustaches didn’t get bigger. Actually, the criminals didn’t get any bigger. Danny Greene was larger than life. He used to wear a Lincoln green suite and green pants. He was in your face. What you saw was what you got. After this period, everything went a bit more sophisticated, underground and unseen.

IFQ: I grew up in the New York/New Jersey area and there is a large Irish American presence there, as well as Boston, etc. Were you aware that Cleveland had this type of Irish mafia going on?

RS: No. I didn’t. In fact, in the story it was Italian mafia run and out of New York, Detroit, Cleveland, that whole sort of sweep right up to Montreal. What I love about the story is that it’s a man’s journey; it’s a criminal’s journey. He’s a villain; he’s a mobster; he’s a racketeer, but aspiring to affiliate himself with the mafia and becoming the head of the Longshoremen’s union. He rounded up Irish American affiliates and set up his Irish crew and literally went to war with the Italian mafia on the streets and turned Cleveland into the bomb capital of the U.S. in ’77. 32 or 37 bombs went off. These were serious car bombs and there was blood on the streets. It’s such a slice of that period in American culture and history.
