Christian Slater admitted that he was a “frighteningly different person' in the 1990s. The 'Dexter: Original Sin' star battled addiction struggles and legal issues before becoming sober.
Christian Slater reflected on how his life has changed since the height of his fame in the 1990s. The 55-year-old actor became one of the era's biggest A-listers after starring in a slew of hit movies. At the same time, Slater was battling drug and alcohol addiction, which led to a series of legal troubles that derailed his acting career.
He continued, 'I don't really even recognize who that person was. And today it's certainly very different.' 'The hardest thing for me today is leaving home to go do a job,' Slater added. 'Back in the 90s, it was like all I could wish for was just to be somewhere else all the time. Now I really like to be home.
Christian's son was born during the shoot,' Brown said. 'We were very lucky to be able to work with Christian during this time and how much he was able to give us.' The actress continued, 'Well, especially even on the day his son was born, he was working with us in L.A. and in every scene with us.'

Though Harry is long deceased before the events of the original series, he appears in flashbacks throughout the first two seasons and later in Dexter's visions as his voice of reason. Slater told Fox News Digital that he was excited by the opportunity to play Dexter's father and show more of Harry's backstory. 'I love James Remar,' Slater said. 'I'm a huge fan of his, and I thought he did a fantastic job in the original show.
