David Zayas from 'Dexter'

Actor David Zayas discusses his film and TV acting career. Zayas portrays Detective Angel Batista on “Dexter,” Showtime’s hit series, and has appeared in such movies as “Michael Clayton” and “The Interpreter.” His upcoming films include “The Expendables” with Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis and Jet Li -- plus “13” starring Mickey Rourke and Jason Statham. As a fifteen year veteran of the New York Police Department, Zayas often finds the line that separates his characters from himself to be a little finer than most. Many of the characters he plays allow him to draw on his years of experience combating New York’s criminal underworld. Zayas happens to be one of the few actors today with the real-life street cred to back up his performances in films and TV shows that depict the grittiness and brutality of the criminal underground.
