Kenny Johnson is ready to lay down the law on Dexter Season 8.

The former Shield star - who recently recurred on Prime Suspect, Sons of Anarchy and Burn Notice - will appear on multiple episodes of the Showtime hit.

According to TV Line, Johnson will portray U.S. Marshall Cooper, an especially serious and respectable lawman who is hired by Sean Patrick Flanery's private investigator to track down an infamous criminal.

Dexter Season 8, confirmed last week by Showtime as the show's final run, premieres on June 30.
