Dexter: Resurrection’s Jack Alcott and James Remar Break Down Harrison’s Dark Twist
67Three episodes into Dexter: Resurrection, and Jack Alcott’s young Harrison Morgan is spiraling, most quietly. He’s found a little bit of stability while working at The Empire Hotel: a job, a routine, and maybe even something close to family with Elsa (Emilia Suárez) and her son. But when the past creeps in through memory and impulse, it’s clear that “normal” isn’t something Harrison gets to just have. It’s something he has to fight for.
In an interview with Collider, speaking about Episode 3’s “Backseat Driver,” Alcott admits, “there is just pressure, really, from all sides.” The scene in question is the standout scene where Harrison is interrogated by Detective Claudette Wallace (Kadia Saraf) for the murder of a high-profile guest and rapist. “As an actor and as the character, which was a gift. It made that scene really fun.”
But fun doesn’t mean easy for the actor or the trajectory of his character. As Harrison’s calm demeanor begins to crack under questioning, what comes to the surface is a young man torn between redemption and the familiar pull of inherited darkness. Meanwhile, his father Dexter — played by Michael C. Hall — lurks in the shadows, watching his son and trying to confront his shortcomings.
But it’s Harrison this time around carrying the heaviest questions: Can the cycle of inherited trauma and violence be broken, or is this just the next chapter in a blood-stained inheritance? Moreover, is Harrison repeating trauma patterns by seeking solace and love with a young, single mom, like Dexter did with Rita (Julie Benz)? Alcott and his co-star, James Remar, who plays Dexter’s conscience and dead father, Harry Morgan, break down Episode 3 with Collider and what audiences can expect going into the next chapter.
