Dexter Lumis Reflects on the Challenge of a Silent Character in WWE

Samuel Shaw, who portrayed Dexter Lumis in WWE, discussed the unique challenge of playing a silent character during an appearance on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet. Shaw, who previously developed his character in TNA, noted that in WWE, Lumis became completely non-verbal, contrasting with his earlier, softer-spoken portrayal.

Shaw mentioned that fans have recently recognized him for his role in the television series Tacoma PD, where they heard his voice for the first time. He reflected on WWE's decision to make Lumis silent, expressing uncertainty about the reasoning but emphasizing his desire to stand out among other characters.

He explained that portraying a silent figure allowed him to focus on eliciting emotions from the audience without dialogue, which he viewed as a significant challenge and goal for his character.
