Desperate Housewives, everything for Marcia Cross

“It was Marc Cherry who came to offer me the role of Orson Hodge. » The showrunner of Desperate Housewiveslike many other creators, had also been “very influenced by Twin Peaks, and by the character of Dale Cooper. “Besides, without Dale Cooper, there would have been no Orson Hodge. All my characters have ultimately always been very influenced by Dale,” he analyzes. “Initially, I was only supposed to be a guest for a few episodes, but they finally called me back. I had many reasons to accept: the series was a real phenomenon, the role was different from what I had already played and then… the set was ten minutes from my house. That counts, right? » says the actor during his master class.

If it is his relationship with Bree Van de Kamp, led by Marcia Cross, which will leave its mark, the actor recalls that initially his romantic intrigue should rather concern Susan (Teri Hatcher). “But I’m very happy to have had the chance to shoot with Marcia.

However, he is stuffed with reward for the work completed by Denis Villeneuve on the brand new model of Dune.
