Michael C. Hall plays the titular character on Showtime’s ‘Dexter’

Initially based on the works of novelist Jeff Lindsay, the show follows Michael C. Hall as Dexter Morgan, a serial killer who hunts down murderers who escaped the justice system. As the title character, Hall would be the obvious choice for the Dexter actor with the highest net worth. And that holds true.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Hall carries a current net worth of $25 million. In addition to Dexter, the actor has appeared in other movies, TV shows, and theater projects. But the bulk of his fortune is likely derived from Dexter and his other long-running role on HBO’s Six Feet Under. From 2001 to 2005, Hall played David Fisher on the latter show.

Jennifer Carpenter stars as Dexter’s adoptive sister

Dexter fans know Jennifer Carpenter as Debra Morgan, Dexter’s adoptive sister. But the actor has actually appeared in a variety of other projects too. These include her breakthrough movie role as the tormented title character in 2005’s The Exorcism of Emily Rose and the lead of another horror film, 2008’s found-footage hit Quarantine.

Celebrity Net Worth reports that Carpenter carries an $8 million net worth, putting her behind Hall as the second wealthiest Dexter cast member. It’s worth noting too that she and Hall were married from 2008 to 2011. Carpenter reprised her role as Deb on Dexter: New Blood in 2021.

James Remar plays Dexter’s father in the series

James Remar – who played Dexter’s adoptive father, Harry Morgan – is likely an actor viewers have seen numerous times. The character actor has been a staple of movies and TV since the late 1970s. His credits include The Warriors, 48 Hrs., and Sex and the City.

Although Remar didn’t reprise his role in Dexter: New Blood, the actor still carries a reported net worth of $5 million. Celebrity Net Worth credits his long and varied list of acting roles as the chief income generator. But he also does voice-over work for Lexus cars, a lucrative gig that likely contributes significantly to his total net worth.

Other ‘Dexter’ cast members carry similar net worths

Due to the nature of Dexter’s violence-heavy plot, the show has featured a long list of actors who have starred on the show throughout its run. But of the remaining members of the main cast, David Zayas is a standout with a $4 million net worth. In addition to Dexter, the actor has appeared on Oz, Gotham, and countless movies and TV shows.

Lauren Vélez and C.S. Lee also carry similar net worths, with $3 million and $2 million respectively according to Celebrity Net Worth. However, none of the other stars of Dexter compare to Hall’s $25 million reported net worth, easily making him the highest earner.
