Dexter knows how to dispatch the bad guys. Let's hope he has the same success with this.

Michael C. Hall has announced he's been diagnosed with a non-lethal form of cancer and is already on the mend.

The 38-year-old Dexter star said he's suffering from Hodgkin's lymphoma, but that the disease was caught at an early stage in a "treatable and curable condition" and that he's currently receiving treatment at an unidentified Los Angeles-area facility. The cancer is said to be in complete remission.

And he's definitely not letting it get in the way of a good time.

Hall is expected to join actress-wife Jennifer Carpenter at this Sunday's Golden Globes, where he's nominated for Best Actor for his titular role in Showtime's serial killer hit, as well as the Jan. 23 Screen Actors Guild Awards.

The fifth season is set to premiere in September.
