Curious about how the Dexter: Original Sin cast stacks up against the iconic characters from the original show? The prequel series offers a fascinating look at a younger Dexter Morgan and his circle, reimagining beloved characters while staying true to their essence.
Here’s an in-depth Dexter Original Sin cast comparison with the original show’s memorable portrayals.
Who plays who in Dexter: Original Sin’s cast, compared to the sequel series?
Dexter Morgan – Patrick Gibson (Original Sin) & Michael C. Hall (Dexter)
Patrick Gibson who plays the younger Dexter Morgan in Original Sin, excellently portrays the mannerisms typical of the older Dexter, such as his stoicism and menacing demeanor fans know from Michael C. Hall’s performance. However, Gibson brings an innocence unique to the younger version.
Debra Morgan – Molly Brown (Original Sin) & Jennifer Carpenter (Dexter)
Molly Brown’s younger portrayal of Dexter’s adoptive sister Debra is reminiscent of the older version of the character (Jennifer Carpenter) in the first season of the original series, prior to her promotion as a homicide detective, eschewing the same rebelliousness and tendency to profanity.
Harry Morgan – Christian Slater (Original Sin) & James Remar (Dexter)
Not much is known about James Remar’s Harry Morgan’s personality in the original show, despite his prominent flashback appearances, save for his strong influence on Dexter’s work and life principles. However, Christian Slater’s portrayal as a younger Harry expands upon his relationship with Dexter and showcases the deep love they share.
Maria LaGuerta – Christina Milian (Original Sin) & Lauren Vélez (Dexter)
Christina Milian who plays the younger Maria LaGuerta, immediately captures the same essence from Lauren Velez’s portrayal in the original series, such as her tendency to take the moral high ground.
Angel Batista – James Martinez (Original Sin) & David Zayas (Dexter)
James Martinez’s Angel Batista brings the same charm and friendliness towards Dexter Morgan first brought by David Zayas in the original series.
Vince Masuka – Alex Shimizu (Original Sin) & C.S. Lee (Dexter)
Alex Shimizu’s younger Vince Masuka has the same portrayal of C.S. Lee’s older version, such as their penchant for objectifying women and tasteless jokes.
Laura Moser – Brittany Allen (Original Sin) & Sage Kirkpatrick (Dexter)
Since Sage Kirkpatrick’s Laura Moser only showed up a handful of times in the original series, not much can be derived from the portrayal. However, Brittany Allen excellently expands on the character in Original Sin, hammering home her influence on Harry and his bond with Dexter.
Camilla Figg – Sarah Kinsey (Original Sin) & Margo Martindale (Dexter)
Sarah Kinsey’s Camilla Figg brings in the same care and warm attitude towards Dexter, Margo Martindale cemented in the original series but offers more context.
