David Zayas stars in "Dexter" on Showtime as Angel Batista. For his work on the show, David Zayas was recently nominated for an Imagen Award. David Zayas also won a Satellite Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television; earned two SAG Award nominations for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series; and earned an Alma Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.

Soon after, Tom Fontana (writer of "The Beat") created the character Enrique Morales, the fierce leader of the Latino prisoners in HBO's "Oz," especially for Zayas.
