Michael C. Hall is turning 46 today. Hall began acting in school productions as a boy and began working professionally in theater after graduating from Earlham College. He appeared in several productions with the New York Shakespeare Festival and made his Broadway debut as the Emcee in the 1999 revival of Cabaret. In 2001, Hall was cast in the role of David Fisher on HBO’s Six Feet Under, which he played for the show’s entire run and for which he received a Primetime Emmy nomination.

Hall was next cast in the title role of Dexter Morgan on Showtime’s Dexter. The series was a popular and critical success, running for eight seasons. Hall was nominated for the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama for five consecutive years, while in 2010 he won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama Series.



Since the end of Dexter’s run, Hall has returned to Broadway. In 2014, he took over the title role in the musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch, starring opposite Lena Hall (no relation). A year later, he originated the lead role of Thomas Jerome Newton in David Bowie’s musical Lazarus, receiving a Drama Desk Award for his work.
