Here's Why Julia Stiles Was Written Out of 'Dexter'
Julia Stiles' character Lumen Ann Pierce, plays an important role in Dexter before she was written after a single season.
Stiles took on smaller roles for a few years (with a sidestep into action in The Bourne Ultimatum), but then in 2010, she was cast in Showtime's hit series, Dexter. The show was known for its gruesome depiction of a serial killer (Michael C. Hall) murdering anyone he deemed to be evil, so understandably, fans were confused. Was this the same Stiles who had starred in all those lighter teen-friendly flicks? And could she pull off what would likely be her most intense and harrowing role yet? Stiles proved all her doubters wrong with the role of Lumen Ann Pierce, who leaves an indelible mark on Dexter (and subsequently on viewers, too). Stiles arrives in Season 5, appears in 10 episodes, and then her character simply leaves Dexter's life for good. So, why did Stiles end up exiting a role that turned out to be so perfect for her?
