[On if it bothers him playing a cop, or a detective] David Zayas: Are you kidding me? Any time someone wants to hire me I'm happy. I'm either a cop, a detective, or some bad guy, but every once in awhile I'll play another part. I guess I have the personality or the look of a cop or some kind of a law enforcement official, which gets me that kind of work.
[On the show Dexter] David Zayas: I'm having so much fun doing it and having so much fun watching it and even though I read the script and know what's happening, I'm really surprised by some of the things I see myself.
