The Big Picture The world of Dexter is filled with interesting characters, but none are quite as charismatic as Detective Angel Batista. As a dedicated member of law enforcement, Batista appears at nearly every crime scene in the series and has his hand in solving many cases . He becomes a friend to Dexter over the years. While several people attempt to kill him in various episodes, Batista is one of the few characters to survive the entire 8-season run of the original show.

In the case of this Dexter shoot, Zayas Jr. was tapped to be a stand-in for his father because he is the spitting image of him, especially as soon as he dons Batista's signature fedora and Hawaiian shirts. This made him a natural choice to help out. But Zayas Jr. didn't just fulfill the role of a typical stand-in; he also ended up appearing on-screen as Batista. Zayas Jr. first pops up in Episode 10 of Season 7 , where he serves as his father's stunt double.

Will Batista Appear in the New 'Dexter' Series? Close The original Dexter series certainly should have capitalized on the younger Zayas' look and cast him in some flashback scenes of Batista's youth. And Zayas Jr. would have been an easy choice to portray Batista in the recently announced prequel series, Dexter: Original Sin, However, the show has already cast a young Batista.
