Michael C. Hall is totally, absolutely, 100% responsible for the mullet.
It started on the set of Dexter, the popular Showtime series for which Hall's portrayal of the eponymous, morally avenging serial killer netted him a Golden Globe award and five Emmy nominations over eight seasons.

Lansdale's pulp-gothic thriller set in East Texas.
