Michael C. Hall was nominated for an Emmy Thursday for his nuanced portrayal of ‘Dexter’ the serial killer who is hard not to like.

On Friday, during a press tour panel at the Beverly Hilton, Hall, who made a name for himself playing a gay man on ‘Six Feet Under’ for six seasons, was asked how his family reacted to news that his next TV gig would be playing a serial killer.

‘As long as you’re not kissing a black man!’ Hall said. The room erupted in laughter.

Hall continued: ‘But if I hadn’t kissed a black man, I wouldn’t be a serial killer. They were somehow weirdly comfortable with it.’
