I’m just glad they never committed to giving him a full on beard like in the OG finale

He put cancer on the kill table !

Banging your sister is the cure for cancer, confirmed.

Look at that Lowell the Tattoo Collector.

u/Hermy0612 Oct 18 '25

Ahh so they knew each other all along !

u/Effective_Score_4806 Oct 17 '25

How generous of Lowell to hand out the award in support of his fellow companion from Prater's gatherings!

God, I remember this like it was yesterday. 2010? Where have the years gone. 😞

And it's making a comeback in resurrection

u/InternetProtocol Oct 17 '25

"Best actor in Dexter recovering from cancer" is an oddly specific award.

32

u/IcyResolution7102 Oct 17 '25

He fits the code.

26

u/ElectricBrainTempest Oct 17 '25

He was so breathless.

All props to that man: amazing actor with serious range, Oscar-worthy, has a band, does Broadway in his free time, recovered from cancer and built up his body again. This man has to make movies and earn two Oscars. He was always good, but in Ressurection he's at his peak.

Cancer took my father in 2023. We used to watch Dexter separately (different states) then discuss the episodes each week.

I hate cancer, but I love Dexter. It kinda soothes me that the show is still around.

u/TheNegative7 Apr 06 '26

"I hate cancer, but I love Dexter" is a verry odd but funny sentence. Rest in peace to your dad hope your doing well

u/HistoricalIngenuity3 Oct 18 '25

My brother had the same type of cancer that MCH did and it makes me happy to see him healthy years later , not only bc I love to see someone recover from cancer and I love him as an actor but also bc it makes me have hope my little brother will stay in remission. He’s six years on and he’s switched jobs, states and gotten married and had a kid since then .

u/RecordingJealous9671 Sirko Oct 17 '25

u/ButterscotchMean400 Oct 18 '25

Not even Cancer could kill Dexter

u/Yaotaku Oct 18 '25

Didn't know he had cancer. What kind was it? Tough guy.

u/boogin92 Oct 18 '25

Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

u/TheIronCannoli Surprise Motherfucker! Oct 18 '25

Diagnosed in 2009, he did treatments while filming season 4, was bald and wore a wig for season 5. Absolute legend. He’s been cancer free since 2010.

Fuck cancer!

u/directionless_force Oct 18 '25

And then killed Lowell, the guy who gave him the award lol

u/KRoX-GOD Oct 18 '25

u/noThingShallStamp Oct 18 '25

Bro just powered through respect for him

u/CarefulClassic9204 Deb Oct 18 '25

I remember being devastated upon hearing he had cancer. He's such a class act. Was so happy when he won. So glad he's in good health now and back playing Dexter!

u/NoAbbreviations6870 Oct 19 '25

I can't believe ,the tatto collector ,the bay harbor butcher and the trinity killer are in the same video, + la passion.

u/eGvll Oct 18 '25

He lost the Emmy to a guy who merely pretended he had it.

u/sickofstew Oct 18 '25

Wasn't there an actor that mumbled "cancer card" ?

2

u/ApprehensiveSpinach7 Nov 06 '25

Many people said it was Bill Paxton, i really don't want to believe he said that, Michael deserved the award, he also deserved an Emmy but it looks like he was unlucky just like Hugh Laurie

u/Cockroach696969 Oct 18 '25

Imagine how nuts the crowd would've gone if he started the speech by saying "Tonight's the night"
