It’s been eight months since Michael C. Hall was last seen on Showtime, and he wasn’t doing much good for the world. Or, rather, Dexter Morgan, the fictional serial killer he played for eight seasons on Dexter, wasn’t, having secluded himself as a lumberjack after butchering countless people and ruining the lives of others. Tonight, though, Hall is back on the network as himself and with an admirable, world-changing purpose.
In the latest installment of Showtime’s documentary series Years of Living Dangerously, Hall heads to Bangladesh to see firsthand just how serious the issue of climate change in that foreign, unfamiliar country. Rising sea levels are getting to the dangerous point of forcing upwards of 150 million people to flee to safer parts of the world, ratcheting up global migration to unmanageable degrees and also potentially causing devastating floods and widespread diseases.
With Hall as a wide-eyed guide, viewers will get a personalized look at the strong-willed Bangladeshi people at the heart of the matter, continuing Years of Living Dangerously’s overall mission of channeling crucial world issues through celebrity correspondents like Ian Somerhalder (The Vampire Diaries), Arnold Schwarzenegger, Matt Damon, Olivia Munn, and Harrison Ford.
While promoting his knockout indie thriller/neo-noir flick Cold in July two weeks back, Hall reflected on his journey to Bangladesh and the impact it had on him.
