24 Hours: Michael C. Hall, From TV's "Dexter"
Maxim Staff
Each episode of Six Feet Under opened with a bizarre death. What would yours be?
I want to go while having sex, like Richard Pryor’s father. I’d come and go at the same time.
Do you have any deathbed confessions?
I swallow gum—I have trouble letting go.
Will you be going to heaven or hell, and why?
It’ll probably be purgatory. I once killed a guy, but I brought flowers to his funeral.
Dexter keeps his “hobby” a secret. Do you have any nasty secrets that will be discovered postmortem?
Only that I smell terrible when rotting.
Name the one thing you’re glad you’ll never have to do again.
Gamble and lose.
What is your proudest accomplishment?
Landing on the moon.
What is your biggest regret?
Not telling anyone I landed on the moon.
After playing a funeral home director on Six Feet Under, any ideas on what you’d like your funeral to look like?
All I know is that I’d like the theme from Curb Your Enthusiasm to be playing in the background the whole time.
What are people saying over your casket?
“What type of wood is this?”
Having played both a funeral director and a serial killer, have you reached any epiphanies about death?
When it comes I’ll be prepared to slash its throat and give it a proper funeral.
Was there anything surprising you learned about funeral homes from Six Feet Under?
For the right price a funeral director will give the corpse a happy ending.
