Nader was absolutely wonderful and so memorable as Dex on Dynasty. I loved him with Alexis and enjoyed him straight to the end of his run with the Sable story. Even though I remember his personal life issues were splattered across the Soap Press in the late 90s/early 00’s I always remember him being a complete class act on screen. RIP indeed.

A truly talented actor, he had wonderful stage presence.

I was very young at the time but did watch him as Dex Dexter. My sisters and I used to yell "DEX DEXTER" when we were supposed to be sleeping to annoy our father. I haven't thought of that memory in a long time.

He will be missed.

 

 

What a stunning man in his prime. RIP.

RIP To The Count!!! The love of my life 🥰 and the true love of Erica Kane's. I will miss him but never forget him.

Michael/Dimitri brought so much to Pine Valley, that was sadly always missing after he left. The Dimitri/Erica pairing was the only time i felt La Kane was apart of a couple that could rival with the greats. I hold his introduction for ushering in the shows second golden era, and for starting my love for Gothic tales and brooding men. I will never forget how hot i was watching Erica walk down that long hallway in Budapest to see his tussy in those tight white pants.

Outside of SMG Kendall scenes, this is my earliest memory of Dimitri as well. And I always loved him with Erica and if there was anyone who could get her away from Jack, I felt it was him. Oh, the good memories of their pairing.

 

RIP 

He was incredibly memorable, and it was so great to see him on the online AMC.  He was it for me as far as Erica was concerned.  No other pairing after him was compelling to me.

Just another photo of Michael and Joan. Joan picked Michael to play Dex. Their onscreen chemistry was electric and he always spoke of her with tremendous warmth, humour, and respect.

Great pic! He had such a dapper, sexy, almost 'Old World' presence. I can see why he was cast as Dimitri on AMC and against Joan Collins on Dynasty.

My schoolfriends and I (avid Dynasty fans, all) called him Sexy Dexy. What can I say -- we were elementary schoolers!

Goes without saying but they really don't make leading men like him anymore. Glad that after AMC he was able to work through his addictions and make it to the other side, setting up a whole new life for himself. Honestly, I am surprised someone as debonair and talented as Nader didn't hit it even bigger, Clooney styles. But maybe he had a happier life away from the limelight in the end.

Thanks @DaytimeFansome fun stories in there, and tidbits I had never heard, like Jon Erik Hexum testing for Dex.
