Sarah Michelle Gellar on the Importance of her Role in "Dexter: Original Sin" and Why it’s her "Dream Job"

Sarah Michelle Gellar is stepping out of her comfort zone for “Dexter: Original Sin”. The actress will play Tanya Martin in the upcoming prequel series, the forensics expert at the Miami Metro Police Department, Dexter Morgan’s new boss.

“I’m the scientist. You believe me as a scientist right? I do science-y things,” she said at Variety’s Studio, presented by Google TV, at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday.




This is the first time she’ll be working in a police department — but that’s not the only reason it’s so important to her.

“We’re playing in the 90s. I’m used to playing these formidable women and she’s no exception, but she’s almost an even bigger exception because women didn’t run departments in those jobs. They certainly didn’t run the science departments, and they certainly didn’t do it in Miami,” said Gellar.

“So you realize she’s gotta be pretty tough to be able to hang with the guys, although it’s great for me. I’m on set all day long and I’m the only girl. It’s actually my dream job!”
