Jennifer Carpenter became a cult star as Debra Morgan, the sister of serial killer Dexter, six years ago. The new series is now on FX and the Kentucky-born actress is still in the dark about Dexter’s killing ways. So will his secret ever be revealed? “I think it has to be,” she says. “We have eight days per episode, so we basically shoot half of a movie in eight days. Maybe two to three days before we’re finishing one episode, the script for the next comes.”

“On Monday mornings I’m usually called around 5.30am, and the later we push into the week, on the Friday you just stay there into Saturday morning. But it’s only four-and-a-half months out of the year.” Jennifer has read the first of Jeff Lindsay’s books, on which the series is based, but says she never gets squeamish filming some of the more gory scenes. “I guess I’m kind of immune to them because we are around them for 16 hours a day, whereas audiences are only really experiencing them for a minute or two. They’re a little tamer in person.”

So what else is in store?

“I have a movie coming out with January Jones and Nicolas Cage. It was called The Hungry Rabbit Jumps. I can’t remember what they’ve just changed it to. I’m scheduled to shoot a movie for six weeks in Florida. The start dates are up in the air, which makes it difficult because Dexter’s starting, but they’re trying to work it out.”
