What is the name of the actor who plays Kurt Caldwell in Dexter: New Blood?

The actor who plays Kurt Caldwell in Dexter: New Blood is Clancy Brown.

Brown portrays Kurt Caldwell, the owner of a truck-stop diner and a respected figure in the isolated community of Iron Lake. Kurt initially appears to be a concerned father searching for his missing son, Matt Caldwell. As the story develops, however, Dexter discovers that Kurt is secretly a serial killer who targets women and preserves evidence of his crimes in a hidden bunker.

Kurt’s role is central to the revival’s exploration of inherited violence and concealed identity. He takes an interest in Dexter’s son Harrison, partly as a way to manipulate him and partly to provoke Dexter. The conflict between Kurt and Dexter becomes the season’s main danger after Kurt realizes that Dexter is responsible for Matt’s death.

Clancy Brown is also known for voicing Mr. Krabs in SpongeBob SquarePants and for roles in The Shawshank Redemption, Highlander, and The Mortuary Assistant. In the Dexter franchise, he is distinct from John Lithgow, who played the Trinity Killer, and Michael C. Hall, who plays Dexter.
