Desperate Housewives Ponders More Rex Appeal
They're always in the shadow of their female costars, but the men of
Desperate Housewives may finally be taking center stage. Executive producer
Marc Cherry is considering a male narrator for a very special episode that would focus mostly on the men of Wisteria Lane. "The whole show would be told from a male point of view," Cherry tells
TV Guide.
The narrator will be
DH's favorite dead husband, Rex Van De Kamp. "I was sitting in a makeup chair on the set of my new show, [ABC's mid-season series]
Traveler, and my cell phone rang," says
Steven Culp, who played Rex. "It was Marc. He told me he wanted me to be the narrator. I said fabulous. They could change their minds, but I hope not." Should Culp need any pointers, regular narrator
Brenda Strong is available. "I'm waiting for the phone call from Steven saying, 'Oh, my god, is that what you do? It's a lot harder than I thought,'" Strong told TVGuide.com the other day. "I, for one, am going to be really curious to see it."
