Michael C. Hall, star of the Miami-set TV series Dexter, announced yesterday he has cancer, but has kept it a hidden from fans since last year. The 38-year-old said he was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma — a blood cell disease –and that he’s now in complete remission.

“I feel fortunate to have been diagnosed with an imminently treatable and curable condition,” he told the UK Telegraph. “And I thank my doctors and nurses for their expertise and care.”
