The new installment of Dexter, Dexter: Resurrection, has introduced several new characters into Michael C. Hall’s story. And one of those new characters is Captain Mixon, who has caught the audience’s attention for his uncanny resemblance to Dave Chappelle.

Captain Mixon plays an NYPD officer in the show, whose involvement in the investigation into the murders makes him an important figure. But his intimidating personality, commanding presence, and striking resemblance to the famous American comedian and actor have even confused the audience.

Online discussions and comments began to roll in as Dexter viewers thought Dave Chappelle had made a guest appearance in Dexter: Resurrection. But unfortunately, Captain Mixon and Dave Chappelle aren’t the same person. So, let’s introduce you to Captain Mixon.

Who Is The Dave Chappelle Doppelganger In Dexter: Resurrection?

According to Variety, Captain Mixon, an NYPD homicide captain played by Bokeem Woodbine, joined Dexter: Resurrection as a series regular. In the show, he is a tough, intimidating police officer who oversees investigations into serial murders across Manhattan.

Right now, his position and investigative instincts make him a potential threat to Dexter Morgan, who is trying his best to avoid the law. The character has also developed an important family connection within the show. His daughter, Fiona Mixon, played by Nona Parker Johnson, works as a training officer and has developed a complicated bond with Dexter’s son, Harrison.

Talking about his character in Dexter, in an interview with ComingSoon.net, Woodbine said that the scripts have “subverted my expectations even as a cast member reading them, which kind of kept me on my toes.” With decades of experience and skills, Woodbine is bringing new layers to the on-screen character.

Why Are Fans Confusing Bokeem Woodbine With Dave Chappelle?

The confusion between Bokeem Woodbine and Dave Chappelle began when audiences saw several resemblances between the two characters. Their similar facial structures and vocal textures have also confused Dexter fans. But this is not the first time this has happened.

Woodbine has frequently been compared online to Dave Chappelle. Some fans have even joked that he looks like an alternate-reality version of the American comedian. Surprisingly, both actors share the same birth year, but they have no family connections.
