Not long after ABC's Desperate Housewives returns this Sunday at 9 pm/ET, Dave Williams will be ready — oh yes, very ready — for his camping excursion with Mike and Katherine.
Having packed a firearm along with his sleeping bag and bug repellent, Neal McDonough says his off-kilter character is "well-equipped to do some devastation on the campground. And the way I go about it is pretty twisted."
In this video Q&A, McDonough also talks of leading lady Nicollette Sheridan's upcoming and "fantastic" send-off, the prospect of Dave having a kinder twin brother, and how this season of Housewives will have a "killer" finale (that's at the 2:00 mark).
All of which begs the question: Could Neal possibly be back next season? Get his answer to that at the 2:25 mark.
The sit-down wraps up with McDonough reflecting on how two gents named Spielberg and Hanks saved his acting career.

Just prior to joining Desperate Housewives in the role of slippery (and scary!) Dave Williams, Neal McDonough channeled a videogame villain for the big-screen action flick Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (now in theaters).
"That was a blast," Neal raves in this video Q&A. "We went to Thailand for three months, my family came with me, and I got to play Bison, who is just a mess of a character."
McDonough goes on to detail some tweaking they did to the Bison character, as well as talk about he and Smallville alumna Kristin Kreuk (as Street Fighter's titular heroine) "kicked the snot" out of each other in fight scenes. Check it all out after the jump.read more

Cheers to Neal McDonough for upping the creep factor on Desperate Housewives. The combustible Boomtown alum brings his icy blue stare and vaguely menacing air to the role of Dave Williams (a fake name if ever I've heard one), Edie's motivational-speaker/parolee husband. Who is this guy, and why is he so desperate to live on Wisteria Lane? Now that Gary Cole's gone, McDonough perfectly fills Housewives' dangerous-stranger void.

Wisteria Lane just got a new local to contend with next season. Traveler and Boomtown alum Neal McDonough has been cast as a Desperate Housewives series regular, Ausiello reports. The deets on McDonough's character and story arc are tough to come by, but there is one detail that should spark some theorizing: He'll be playing one of the Housewives' new love interests (the Reporter's calling out Nicollette Sheridan's Edie Britt).
