" \n Creepy could be the new sexy, thanks to 38-year-old Michael C. Hall, who plays a blood-spatter analyst by day, serial killer by night on Showtime&amp;#039;s hit Dexter. Of course, Hall is no stranger to the darker side of things \u2014 his first big TV break was on HBO&amp;#039;s Six Feet Under (he&amp;#039;s earned Emmy nods for it and Dexter). Next, he&amp;#039;ll appear in the upcoming flick Game. Outside work, Hall&amp;#039;s a whole lot less intense, though he admits that a little mystery \u2014 especially in relationships \u2014 can be a very good thing. You&amp;#039;ve said that we all have a mysterious side. How so? I think it&amp;#039;s important to become acquainted with that shadowy side of your personality. Otherwise, it might bite you in the ass in ways you hadn&amp;#039;t anticipated. Is intrigue also important when it comes to love? It&amp;#039;s nice to be surprised by a woman. Someone who wears her edge on her sleeve is probably ultimately a lot less edgy than someone who keeps it under wraps. On a day off, what would we be most likely to find you doing? Ideally, nothing. [Laughs] I don&amp;#039;t actually go skydiving on my days off or anything like that. I try to catch up with my friends, and maybe I&amp;#039;ll prepare a meal, eat outside, and have some wine. What&amp;#039;s it like being single in L.A.? Aren&amp;#039;t most guys you&amp;#039;re going up against players? Sometimes men present a swagger that suggests a prowess, whether it&amp;#039;s sexual or financial. L.A. seems to be a place where trying too hard is almost a given. Some people are unapologetic about how blatantly they represent who they are through what they wear or drive. Subtlety is in short supply. If you could inhabit a woman&amp;#039;s mind for a day, what one thing would you want to know? What&amp;#039;s the deal with the shoes? I mean, I like a nice pair of shoes, but do I have the willingness to suffer through an evening? No! Next: Joshua Jackson "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
