Dexter! Yes! Terrific RDA-creation.
Yesterday I watched 'There but for the Grace' , with Grazer, another nice undercover RDA-creation, and saw something funny. When at night Mac/Grazer is looking for the guy who killed father Jim, he passes two hobos that suddenly looked familiar to me. They are the same as the Dexter's cellmates in 'Under Cover'. And as 'Grazer' walks past them, the guy with the mustache is saying something to his friend like: 'Look, that's the same guy we met in jail.' At least that's what I imagine he says. Nice little director's joke – I think.

I just re-watched Deep Cover. The whole scene with Dexter in the cell was hilarious. XD
I thought Dexter was a well acted character. RDA was very good because I had to remind myself it's supposed to be Mac in disguise! XD
I love this line: It's creepy in here!

I notice a little bit of Dexter creeping out in Mac from time to time when he's not trying to be Dexter. Between the facial expressions combined with the tone of voice, Dexter shows himself now and then otherwise.
The first place I noticed it was in "Faith, Hope, and Charity". When Mac and the Lacey sisters are tied up in the cellar and he is asking them if there isn't something more they want to tell him about Leo or the will.
Right now I cannot think of the other place that I particularly noticed it, but it's fun to see Dexter creep into Mac's normal persona. It makes me smile because I think of Dexter then too.

I like Dexter. I think he is a well acted character. I think Dexter is the inner nerd of MacGyver. There should have been more Dexter episodes. An "Excellent" character.

I rewatched Faith, Hope & Charity, that was very Dexter worthy. Mainly the part when he asks why it's ripped in half.

That's such a cute pic...
Lol, if I didn't share a room with my sister, I'd probably have some of these photos on like one of those bulletin board type thingys.

Oh, those glasses! Total nerd. Wonder if was the chick magnet way back then as he was as MacGyver?
That's an interesting question. 'Cos during the teen years, most "chicks" have the worry that (a) their friends will mock them for their taste in teen crushes and, worse, (b) that the object of their desire will also reject them. As chicks grow into swans or other birds or whatever the metaphor is, it usually gets easier to say, "Oh *** it, this is me, this is what I like, frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn what other people think".

Possible nit-pick, in Deep Cover, we see the shot of Dexter in the newspaper, is his last name spelt with one or two L's?
We could explain that one away as the newspaper people being bad at spelling. It would be a definite nitpick if Dexter had 2 different ID documents with the 2 different spellings.
