Culture: Dexter already kills people. Now he married his TV sister.

  • “Dexter” star gets hitched to his co-star If anyone ever wants to misguidedly complain about loose morals on TV, look no further than Michael C. Hall. Over the New Year’s holiday, he married his TV sis, Jennifer Carpenter. It’s like Greg and Marcia hooking up, only less pseudo-incestuous and more sinister. source
