The casting in Showtime’s “Dexter” never ceases to amaze me. They’re not only committed to making a damn fine show, but they also put the envelope with out of the box casting (John Lithgow is a perfect example). Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Julia Stiles is in advanced talks to play a major, top secret role in the show’s upcoming fifth season. Based on what new showrunner Chip Johannessen told EW a few weeks back, it’s safe to say Stiles won’t be following in the footsteps of last season’s very scary guest star, John Lithgow. “We’re not going to have a single Big Bad this season,” revealed Johannessen. “We don’t want to try and top John Lithgow, so we’re going to change up the forces that Dexter’s going to be dealing with.” Hopefully she plays some sort of evildoer, ’cause that would be pretty damn cool.
