Michael C Hall will indulge in some Love, Scotch and Death

on April 21, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Next up for our Dexter star, Michael C Hall, aside from filming the smash hit TV show next month, is his role in Love, Scotch and Death. Vera Farmiga co-stars in this bizzare but interesting sounding film. James Manos Jr, who adapted Jeff Lindsay’s Dexter novels, will make his directorial debut for this film, and also wrote the screenplay.

Dexter’s Michael C. Hall and Vera Farmiga in Love, Scotch and Death

James Manos Jr. probably didn’t know he was creating a huge hit for Showtime when he brought them Dexter but he wants to see if he can bring some of that magic over to the big screen, and Deadline reports that he’s improving his odds by teaming up with the guy who brought the anti-hero serial killer to life.

When Michael C. Hall completes the sixth season of Dexter, he’ll be joining Manos and Vera Farmiga in the independent feature Love, Scotch and Death, which is expected to start shooting in November.

The story, written by Manos, seems to be a mini-biography that covers one particular week in his life. During this period of time, he returned from a stressful vacation to find out his parents died of natural causes together in bed, which leads him to dealing with an unsympathetic funeral director, as well as his manic wife and bewildered children. As if that wasn’t enough, he also has to deal with an assault arrest and the death of his wife’s dog.

It doesn’t sound like the most riveting of plots, but Manos does have an impressive track record that includes The Sopranos and The Shield, as well as Dexter, so I might be willing to give it a try.

Feel like you’re in ‘Prison’ waiting for Dexter’s return? Need a ‘Break’?

Dexter Season 5 ended in December. We were sad. We were impatient. But we were going to be strong. We have to put on a brave face. There is no choice but to endure the many, many months ahead before our favorite show returns to tantalize us with 12 weeks of pure televison bliss.

We whined. We cursed. Some of his cried ourselves to sleep at night. Some of his took up a hobby. Others, just, waited, stoicly. It’s now April. What? only April? There’s still 5 more months of a Dexter-less existence, before Season 6 finally arrives and gives meaning back to our pitiful lives.

Sure, there’s other shows airing right now. While most are crap by comparison, some are tolerable, and a few are even, well, good.

So, what is a diehard Dexter fan to do? Especially now that Netflix is no longer streaming Dexter?

Michael C Hall, who plays Dexter Morgan on the Showtime series, steps out to help the environment

Michael C Hall, along with Chloe Sevigny, came out for the Celebration for the Environmental Partnership of Kiehl’s Rare Earth Cleansing Masque Benefiting Waterkeeper Alliance. Sevigny and Hall are the faces of Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque, and Sevigny herself designed the label for the campaign. Waterkeeper Alliance is an organization dedicated to preserving and protecting water from pollution. Stars like Mario Lopez, Giuliana Rancic, and Kristin Cavallari were also on hand for the celebration.

Michael C Hall, a North Carolina native, said he spent time on the beaches too.

“It instilled in me an appreciation of the environment,” Michael C Hall says. “When Kiehl’s approached me about the Waterkeeper Alliance, it was a no brainer for me to join in.”

The actors designed labels for the brand’s Rare Earth Collection to benefit Waterkeeper Alliance.

Earth Day isn’t until April 22, but Kiehl’s is already doing its part to raise eco-awareness. The beauty brand, which is a favorite of celebs such as Julianne Moore and Entourage’s Adrian Genier (both have appeared in Kiehl’s ads), unveiled a special limited-edition of its Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque with labels designed by Chloe Sevigny (HBO’s Big Love) and Michael C Hall (Showtime’s Dexter).

Earth Day 2011

Dexter cares about the environment! Okay, maybe not, but Michael C Hall certainly does. Michael, in celebration of Earth Day, is featured in a promo picture for Kiehl’s new “Michael C. Hall Limited Edition Rare Earth Pore Cleansing Masque.”

From Kiehls.com:

In honor of Earth Day, we are pleased to announce a Limited Edition Label Art series, where 100% of net proceeds will benefit the WATERKEEPER ALLIANCE, a charity long supported by Kiehl’s for the past 30 years.

Our Rare Earth masque helps purify and detoxify skin while minimizing the appearance of enlarged pores. Formulated with Amazonian White Clay to gently draw out oil, dirt and toxins that can clog pores. The addition of Oatmeal and Aloe Vera will help soothe, hydrate and protect sensitive skin.

The Earth Day celebration got an early start in Santa Monica yesterday. Actors Michael C. Hall, Mario Lopez and Chloë Sevigny appeared at the store’s Montana Ave. location from 7 to 9 p.m., during which time a new deep-pore cleansing masque was unveiled.

All proceeds from sales of the masque go to the Waterkeeper Alliance founded by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Check out Michael arriving at the event in Santa Monica, as he signs an autograph for a fan.
