Detroiter rising star on Showtime’s ‘Dexter’

Detroit native and Mumford grad Dave Ramsey is a rising star on Showtime’s “Dexter”
and is expected to continue his role into season four and five.

Excerpt:

People don’t always know actor David Ramsey’s name but they know his face.

On good days, they call the Detroit native and Mumford graduate by the
role he plays on Showtime’s “Dexter.” That name is Anton, the sexy
musician who has stolen the heart of Debra (Jennifer Carpenter),
Dexter’s sister. Sometimes, fans just shout “Dexter” and wave.

But when folks mistake Ramsey for R&B star Usher, he’s left speechless.

“I was on the beach in Venice (California) and I was wearing a skull
cap and glasses and this guy ran up to me and said ‘Man, I love ‘Burn,’
” Ramsey, 37, divulges with a laugh. Ramsey is seven years
older and at least eight inches taller than the singer. “When I took
off my glasses, the guy was disappointed. He said, ‘Aw man, you’re not
Usher.’ ”
