LIMITLESS Stages DEXTER Reunion: Desmond Harrington to Guest Star

There’s a DEXTER reunion coming on the new CBS drama, LIMITLESS.

Desmond Harrington (who played Quinn on the long-running Showtime series) has signed on to guest star opposite LIMITLESS/DEXTER star Jennifer Carpenter, a rep for CBS has confirmed. The Hollywood Reporter was first to reveal the casting.

Harrington will play Casey Rooks, an agent with the FBI who is tasked to give Jake McDorman’s Brian Finch basic training. But since Brian has taken the NZT that was introduced in the Bradley Cooper-led 2011 LIMITLESS film, Brian’s ease at picking up the training has Casey suspicious.

And, yes, Harrington and Carpenter will interact: according to THR, Casey and Carpenter’s Agent Harris are having a secret affair. (Their characters were also romantically involved on DEXTER.)

Harrington is set to first appear in LIMITLESS’ fifth episode.

LIMITLESS: Heather Kadin on Bradley Cooper’s Involvement, and Why It’s ‘SLEEPY HOLLOW 2.0’

Many of the new shows next season are based on familiar properties, but the new CBS drama, LIMITLESS (based on the 2011 film starring Bradley Cooper), is in the rare position of actually having an actor from the original project attached to the series. (Cooper is an executive producer on the CBS series, in addition to his appearance in the pilot.)

And though Cooper’s involvement with the pilot was known (and heavily teased in the trailer), CBS boss Nina Tassler raised a few eyebrows when she said he’d actually recur on the series. LIMITLESS executive producer Heather Kadin is a bit more realistic about what that might mean, given his very busy schedule.
