Chuck star Yvonne Strahovski has found her next gig, and it's a killer. The actress has been tapped for a multiepisode arc on Showtime's Dexter , the network said Tuesday. She'll play Hannah McKay , a strong, independent woman with a past that she has struggled to put behind her on the Michael C. Hall-Jennifer Carpenter serial-killer drama.

(And Showtime is a pay cable service, of course.) Here's the full list: 1. "Heroes" (NBC) 2. "Lost" (ABC) 3. "Prison Break" (Fox) 4. "Dexter" (Showtime) 5. ...
