Actor Michael C. Hall, who stars in US TV show Dexter, has announced that he has been battling cancer and is in remission from the disease.
The 38-year-old said he had been diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, which he described as a "treatable and curable condition".
His spokesman said Hall was in complete remission but would continue treatment.
In his award-nominated role, he plays Dexter Morgan, a Miami police analyst who moonlights as a serial killer.
In a statement to People magazine, Hall said: "I feel fortunate to have been diagnosed with an imminently [sic] treatable and curable condition, and I thank my doctors and nurses for their expertise and care".
Hall, who also starred in the long-running US drama Six Feet Under, still plans to attend Sunday's Golden Globes, with his wife Jennifer Carpenter - who plays his sister on the show.
He is nominated for best dramatic actor, while the show is on the shortlist for best drama.
A fifth series of Dexter is due to go into production later in the year.
