Erik King is an American film, television and stage actor known for his role as Sergeant James Doakes in the Showtime television series, Dexter. While his character in the series was brief, he stayed long enough to generate the catchphrase “Surprise Motherf**ker” and remains one of the characters who kept Dexter on his toes.

The Washington DC native became part of the entertainment industry in 1983 after appearing in the mini-series Kennedy. Since then, he has made appearances in productions like Oz, Law and Order, Golden Years, Missing Persons, and The Oath.

For the past 3 decades, Erik King has maintained relevance as a renowned actor. He is best known for his role as Sergeant James Doakes on the Showtime television series, Dexter. Before this career kicked off, Erik started off with a few minor roles in television series beginning with the mini-series Kennedy in 1983, Casualties of War (1989), The Round Table (1992) Missing Person (1993), Kindred: The Embraced (1996) and Oz (2000).

A post shared by Dexter on Showtime (@dexterdailycom)

While Erik remains unforgettable for his role in the television series Dexter, which gave him a significant fanbase, the actor left acting for a while to focus on work for a fortune company.

However, he still dabbles in and out of the entertainment industry and some of his recent projects include the 2018  music drama Vox Lux, Opposite Natalie Portman, The Good Wife spin-off, and The Good Fight.

In Addition to this, he was reportedly listed as one of the casts for Dexter-New Blood, a revival series of the original Dexter TV series which promises to give a more satisfying ending. Recall that, Erik’s character as Sergeant James Doakes became silent following his death through an explosion, after finding the secret of his long-suspected enemy Dexter.

While he wasn’t able to reveal the masked serial killer, he might be brought up again to finally put an end to the serial killer, Dexter in the revival series.

Erik King was also present at the world premiere of the Dexter: New Blood series held at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Centre in New York City. There, he got to reunite with other casts of the original Dexter series.

Is Erik King Married?

At the moment, the Dexter actor is not linked to anyone. Information about his previous relationships is also not known. Obviously, Erik is one who enjoys keeping private matters private.

Even though many quarters have reported that he is single, it’s not out of place to suggest that he may have someone in his life who isn’t known to the public. Whatever the case, it is perhaps best to conclude that Erik’s lovelife is elusive to the media.
