Stevenson's best known TV work was in Rome, where he played Titus Pullo, and he has since gone on to play a couple of different Marvel Comics characters – including the title role in The Punisher: War Zone and Volstagg in Thor, the latter of which he's expected to reprise in the Thor sequel.On Dexter , Stevenson will play what TVline describes as "a high-ranking member of an Eastern European crime ring who arrives in Miami determined to learn who killed one of his associates." It's not clear yet if he will be the season's main villain or not. Either way, he's totally ending up on Dexter's table though, right?Stevenson will be seen this summer as Firefly in G.I.
