EXCLUSIVE: Veteran screen and stage actor Peter Weller has joined the cast of Showtime’s hit drama Dexter. He will appear in eight of the 12 episodes from the show’s upcoming fifth season, playing a troubled Miami Metro police officer who gets caught up in an internal affairs investigation. Production on season 5 is currently underway for a Sept. 26 premiere. Weller who recently guest-starred on Fringe, is probably best known for his title roles in the RoboCop movie franchise and in The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. His co-star in that 1984 sci-fi comedy? John Lithgow, who had a major role on Dexter last season that earned him a Golden Globe and an Emmy nom. Dexter received a total of 8 Emmy nominations last week, including best drama series and best lead actor in a drama series for Michael C. Hall. Weller is with APA and managers Craig Baumgarten and Bill Treusch.

Hmmmm Robo-HUNK!!
Weller IIRC, recently got his Phd in Italian Renaissance Art History at UCLA. He speaks Italian.
An amazing and interesting guy. Glad to see him back on TV. [He hosts History's "Engineering an Empire" and unlike many hosts, actually knows what he's talking about.]
Weller’s played some memorable characters, but the thing is, the real guy is more interesting than the folks he’s played.
Although THIS post of yours doesn’t beg for backlash like most of your idiotic musings, you’re still “Whiskey”. Keep tryin’…
He’s up to the challenge, for god sake someone find him a good fucking script for a change?
That’s Professor Peter Weller to use mere grads.
Perhaps Dr. Weller?
Would have loved to see him in HBO’s defunct ROME or Showtime’s upcoming THE BORGIAS.
Awesome. Good to see Weller get a decent role for a change.
(Glad Rita is gone from the show, too.)
Hello Naked Lunch!
A great talent and the right opportunity to remind everyone. Like the best wine gets better with age.
Wow – Is that photo from 1980?
Yesssss Robocop Vs. The Dark Passanger, only one will survive LOL
He put in a beautiful guest performance on Fringe last season in the episode White Tulip – so this could be good.
Peter Weller will be great for the show I’m pumped he’s the newest addition. It’s going to be tough beating John Lithgow however.
