Gregg Henry has joined HBO’s upcoming dark comedy “Hung” as recurring, and Courtney Ford has come aboard Showtime’s drama “Dexter,” also for a multi-episode arc.
On HBO’s “Hung,” starring Thomas Jane as a well-endowed high school basketball coach, Henry (”The Riches”) will play Mike, an assistant coach.
The project reunites he with “Riches” creator Dmitry Lipkin, who co-created “Hung” with Colette Burson.
Henry is repped by Domain and Framework.
On “Dexter,” which recently cast John Lithgow as Miami’s latest serial killer and new nemesis of Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), Ford will play a reporter.

Tracy in Brooklyn, N.Y.: When is Dexter returning?
Season four of Dexter premieres Sept. 27 at 10 p.m.
Question: Got any Dexter casting scoop? Who will be this year’s Jimmy Smits? –Medve
Ausiello: None other than John Lithgow!
Dexter has found its next Big Bad.
Sources confirm to me exclusively that John Lithgow is joining the season 4 cast as Walter Simmons, an unassuming suburbanite who has been living a duel life as one of America’s most prolific and deadliest serial killers. When the mad man (who is dubbed the “Trinity Killer” because he always kills in threes) relocates to Miami, Dexter becomes obsessed (or inspired?) by his efficient killing methods and ability to evade capture for almost three decades. (This is the new antagonist role exec producer Sara Colleton teased back in April.)
Dexter’s fourth season premieres on Sept. 27. Oh, almost forgot, bonus casting scoop: Keith Carradine is reprising his role as Deb’s daddy figure ex, F.B.I. Special Agent Frank Lundy for multiple episodes.

Question: Any news on the upcoming season of Dexter? –Rosalie
Ausiello: Production on season 4 starts May 28 and, if all goes according to plan, new episodes will begin airing this fall. Spoiler-wise, six months will have lapsed on-screen between the finale and the premiere, which means the birth of Dexter and Rita’s son will have already happened.
Apologies in advance for perpetuating an overused pun, but Dexter’s fourth season sounds, well, killer.
When the Showtime hit returns next fall, six months will have lapsed on screen, leaving newlyweds Dexter (Michael C. Hall) and Rita (Julie Benz) the proud parents of a baby boy. “This season, we’re going to deal with: Can a serial killer juggle a personal life, work, and his ‘dark passenger’?” reveals executive producer Sara Colleton. “In other words, can Dexter have it all? Which is something all of us grapple with every day of our lives. So we’re taking something that is a very human dilemma and putting it through the prism of Dexter’s special needs.”
Further complicating Dexter’s intricate balancing act will be a new, as-yet-uncast male antagonist who will “cross paths with Dexter in a major, dramatic way,” teases Colleton. “He will illuminate a lot about Dexter’s life and force him to make some tough choices.” (Word is they’re looking for a “Jeff Daniels-type” to play the role.)
Meanwhile, Dex’s plucky sister, Deb (played by Hall’s real-life wife, Jennifer Carpenter), will unwittingly threaten to shed light on his dark secret. “All the way through the season, Deb — in her need to know her father more — is going to get closer and closer to figuring out who Dexter’s mother was and her relationship with her father,” says Colleton. So might the day come when Dex is forced to slice and dice her? “That is inconceivable to me,” declares Colleton. “Deb and Dexter are the best brother-and-sister team ever.” One could even call them…killer. (Sorry again!)
