Hip hop star-turned-actor Mos (formerly Mos Def) will join season six of Dexter this fall. He’ll appear in a multi-episode arc as Brother Sam, an ex-con who claims to have found religion but is still surrounded by violence.
Production on Dexter begins in June in Los Angeles.
Mos earned an Emmy nomination in 2004 for his work in HBO’s Something the Lord Made. His film credits include 16 Blocks, The Italian Job and The Woodsman.
Mos Def has been acting since before he was a “hip-hop star.” He’s incredible at both. I’m sure his role on this show will be no different.
Exactly! People keep forgetting that. He’s an amazingly talented guy.
“Mos”?? isn’t that Dwight’s cousin on “The Office”? nice moniker.
hahahah i think it’s Moses
It’s actually Mose! Haha! I love Moze, he’s the only good part of the Office.
I will be there! with my towel!
Yaay for Mos on Dex!
this is great news! I’ve loved watching Mos act, and ‘Something the Lord Made’ was awesome. Can’t wait for him to be on Dexter!
I agree – I’m a huge Alan Rickman fan so that’s what made me start watching “Something the Lord Made” but Mos really made the movie. He’s an amazing actor.
ITA, Katie G!
Fox News’ spin: “Violent thug gangsta rapper tarnishes respectable primetime drama series”
Co-sign! Sounds like something they would come up with…
Mos Def….I’m there, can’t wait!!!
Can’t wait for the new season… but didn’t we just see this type of character on Justified?
Loved him in 16 Blocks. Can’t wait to see him on Dexter.
Welcome news, he’s a great actor.
Great addition! Him and Colin Hanks on Dexter will be brilliant. I read that Hanks will be a goody-two-shoes cop transferred to the Miami PD and he and Dex don’t get along.
