With bit roles in such small-screen hits as Law & Order, Diagnosis Murder, JAG, Oz, and Touched By an Angel preceding his turn as a police sergeant who unknowingly works alongside a secretive serial killer in the Showtime series Dexter, actor Erik King was already well on his way to stardom when he landed his most prominent television role to date. Of course, it hadn't all been small-screen victories for King during his decade-long rise through the ranks; he had also appeared in such high-profile features as Cadillac Man, Desperate Measures, National Treasure, and The Ice Princess.
