Julie Benz (Dexter, Hawaii Five-0) joins us to talk about everything from issues with panic attacks and infertility to being surprisingly killed off of her dream role on the hit show Dexter after 4 years. Julie was absolutely amazing this week and opened up about how previous experiences with being left in the shadows and dealing with rejection fueled her fire to continue pursuing a successful career in acting. We also talk about what it’s like dating as we get older, Julie’s former life as a groomed child ice skater, and realizing that our work and roles don’t define who we are as people.

@axelode45 3 месяца назад

I think season 1, 2 (if you ignore lila sometimes), 4 and 5 (meh villains) are about equal in terms of over all quality. The story writing in season 1 is perfect and unpredictable and season 2 and 5 have some really intriguing supporting characters (doakes and lumen), but season 4 probably has the strongest villain acting-wise and is the most psychologically thrilling/upsetting of all the seasons.

It was the best story arc and the writers for season 5 had huge shoes to fill and that’s why season 5 gets so much hate but I think season 5 was the epilogue for dexter and the aftermath of Trinity……..dexter should have ended at season 5 or they should have scrapped the ideas for season 6 and make the season 7 story arc where in the first episode she finds out he’s a serial killer by finding the blood slides……..and the series finale should have been when leaguers is murdered and then he dex and deb cover it up and then go into work like it’s a normal day

Yeah thats the part that sucked most, she dying without finding out about Dexter. Trinity most likely told her but still, they could've made it like.....she found out then whatever her reaction, she went home n got killed. becuz her personality, she could've never accepted Dexter as a serial killer, so if she finding out, u know shes gonna die.

@ramonecricket5183 3 года назад

It's easy to say 'They shouldn't have killed off Rita!' if she was your favourite character or if you think the show became shit after season 4, but there's no question that the decision to kill off such an important character, and in that way (bathtub, killed by Trinity) was creatively genius, and it really put the finishing touches on what was arguably the best season of the show. For the first time, Dexter actually lost. Yes, he killed Trinity, but he still lost.

@pumarox95 3 года назад

Yes,I agree.It really sucks that she was killed off but it did have a powerful impact.It obviously added a lot for Dexter's character development.But I kind of wished she at least reappeared every now and then as a ghost for Harrison or to reassure Dexter.Seeing this interview made me realize that it would have been hard for her to return to the sets.

@maxmeier532 Месяц назад

it wasnt creativity that was driving that choice, so much is clear. They didnt even care to film the scene and show it in hindsight at least. It's just "so this happened". The obvious choice would have been to integrate Rita and the kids leaving the show into the storyline of Dexter being exposed. But they probably wanted to save that for another season but not pay the supporting actors for another year.

@maximusaurelius9906 4 года назад

So sorry to hear how broken up she was over her character being killed off and losing a job she loved. It must be all the more difficult knowing that the show wasn't ending, just your time on it. While I haven't seen everything she's ever been in, her role as Rita on Dexter is perhaps my favorite of all her characters and her best work. More so than Darla on Buffy and Angel, better than her work on Desperate Housewives, No Ordinary Family, Defiance and Rambo. I know she was in Jawbreaker as well, but it's been a while since I've seen that. I bet she has some other good performances I've never seen or may have forgotten.

Like a little angel on his should. Rita and Harry Morgan could even have been competing view points struggling to guide Dexter down the right path. Rita's angel would be more kind, loving and forgiving, whereas Harry's character would continue to play the same role giving Dexter the advice he needs to hide his true nature and cover his tracks. I think Debra Morgan will take on a similar role in the new season of Dexter.

I didnt realize how much they foreshadowed it, when Dexter totalled his car Rita was upset about the "hours" he was working and said "she didn't sign up to be a widow." Also I think they killed her off to show that Dexter can't have it all, he chose his life as a killer over his life with Rita.

@Paglavc1 3 года назад

The fact that we all adored her is the best reason to say why they killed her off. Dexter is a monster, and his actions end up getting people destroyed. He was the one who wanted to get to know Trinity and with that caused him to retaliate. Rita is a collateral damage for his actions, just like his father was, just like Debra was, just like Doakes was, just like La Guerta was... The reason we feel so bad is because Rita was our surrogate, though which we could love Dexter, and because Dexter knew it was all his fault. He finally got a glimmer of light that might change him, when it all comes crashing down.

I like her performance in Angel as Darla. They gave her a good part, and she pulled it off phenomenally in my opinion. It's amazing she was only in Buffy for like the first 7 episodes and not even in all of those, but still ends up being one of the most significant characters in the whole story of both shows. Angel is my fav show, even over Dexter, but i would consider the acting as "serviceable" not exactly the best, but Julie as Darla is an exception there, I always believed her acting like it was a real person, and her character was twisted and had one of the darkest story lines of the show, which is more impressive how she nailed it. Big fan of her, and both shows.

They had to get rid of the family to open up more story lines for Dexter. Plans to kill her off were probably in the works for a while. Remember their wedding and the drops of blood on her wedding dress. It was a portend. However it was shocking when and how it happened - and maddening to know Dex had so many opportunities to kill Trinity and he didn't -- he caused her death.

There is always a haunting loveliness to any character she plays. I love her in Angel and Dexter -- such a cruel ending to her character, but it fit in with the dark narrative of the series.

Panic Attack? You need a manager who slaps the shit out of you when you think your having a panic attack, bet you get over it real quick

I got to talk to Julie about this very subject because I was upset and refused to watch anymore Dexter after she left. Very sweet person and decent actress.

@ashishstanley 3 года назад

Omg! What did she say? I'm devastated after watching that scene recently.

@xenofett7008 3 года назад

@@ashishstanley She basically said she was very upset about it too and loved her character. I stopped watching Dexter after they took her out.

@@xenofett7008 Honestly good call. Dexter was awful after season 4. This new season should be good though since it has the original writer

So, it’s better to get sh*t canned if there’s a woman present? Agree to disagree. Literally just as painful.

She should not whine like this. They gave her the role of her life so far. 15 years later she is still famous because of it.

Her character dying was amazing for the story but terrible for the show.

She was catching onto dexter so sadly it had to happen. But it felt like the series fell off after that

The interviewer keeos cutting her off, so damn annoying

@naraendrareddy273 2 года назад

This is bad, thankfully I got to know beforehand I'm not gonna finish the rest of the show.

@imthegrk 3 года назад

I read that it was in her contract that she would not get plastic surgery while on the show. Apparently she had work done and the producers noticed. Then she was canned.

That microphone in front of her face should be a bit bigger, I still can see her specs...

@rogersmith7808 3 года назад

I watched Dexter all the way through three times now. Love the show but I didn't like her character. I'm sure she's a wonderful person in real life but I thought they made her character a bit too whiny and naïve, almost to the point of being annoying. but I was still sad when she was murdered.

Someone holding a camera in your face, randomly zooming in and out, for an entire interview has to be annoying AF.

So glad they brought Darla back on "Angel." She rocked!

@jump4j 3 года назад

a lot of people died on Dexter but the way they got rid of Rita with her baby in a pool of blood was the low point of the series to that point. totally disgusting and unnecessary.

@ilyCarrott 3 года назад

when she died on the show i thought it was a dream, so i wasnt worried, then i realized it wasnt and started crying myself

@MeetMrMayhem88 2 года назад

Well, I guess one upside is that Rita's death has pretty much laid most of the groundwork and plot for the new Dexter season, bc without Rita dying, we wouldn't now have this entire story of Harrison's emerging dark passenger from being born in blood.

@kennymarket2428 3 года назад

Them killing off Rita was the shows biggest mistake.

@Milamasylum83 3 года назад

I was upset that she got work done after season one. She was not the same beauty as before and it ruined her character.

@srhatfield 3 года назад

Oh wow, I thought she left Dexter to pursue the No Ordinary Family series. I'm sorry that she had to go through that, she's such an amazing actress!

@DrGarri 3 года назад

Her character was SO boring, I cheered when I saw her as a bloody soup in that bath tub! The series wasn't called Dexter & Rita, it was about a serial killer called Dexter and not about the domestic problems of a a single mother with 2 kids, who has financial problems, has been victimized by her dead ex, has an abusive mother, etc, etc, if you want to see that, then watch Oprah.

@trishmcclelland7477 Год назад

I agree. I don't think she was a good actress. She seems to smile when talking with her mouth shut. Then this funny little helium sounding voice comes out. She annoyed me as an actor. Some scenes goodish ! But most funny sounds coming out of her mouth. Wasn't real. Cheers

@craigmooring2091 3 года назад

By that time, they had taken the story arch of the show quite far from that of the books, anyway. Those who enjoyed the series, but don't know the books, should read the books. But I, too, hated to see Rita killed off.
