The Gun Song (1)
Sunday 18 May 2008 on ABC

Susan and Mike try to name their son. Mike wants to name him after his deceased grandfather, Maynard. Lynette is arrested for child abuse of Kayla. Bree is being stalked by Orson, and when she meets with Reverend Green (guest star Bill Smitrovich), the reverend tries to hit on her. Gabrielle is...

As a kid, Doug wanted to be a doctor and only got into acting after he was injured playing football. (edit) Doug had knee replacement surgery in May 2007, due to an injury he sustained in the 1970's playing football. (edit) Doug was nominated in 2008 and 2007 for a SAG Award along with his Desperate Housewives castmates for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. (edit) While Savant is perhaps most recognizable from his role of Matt Fielding on Fox's Melrose Place, he has starred in many television films, including the TBS thriller trilogy: First Show, First Target and First Daughter. He had a recurring role on the hit Fox series 24 and has made memorable guest appearances on several series, including NYPD Blue, JAG and Nip/Tuck. His theater work includes Relay, You Never Can Tell, and When the Jacaranda Blooms. (edit) Doug Savant began his acting career when he left UCLA to perform in Los Angeles regional theater. He went on to appear in such films as Masquerade, Hanoi Hilton, Godzilla and Red Surf. (edit)

Doug Savant: If a woman would tell me, hey that thing you just did was sexy, I just repeat doing that. I think that's the way guys do it.
(edit) Doug Savant: (talking about his "tv wife" Felicity Huffman) I really don't want us to have an affair-I love the relationship so much. I keep asking everyone on set to please not give us any domestic strife! I have never felt so connected to any role, and it's because of how incredibly believable the relationship is. I would much rather deal with the everyday problems that most couples in America deal with-how do you keep the romance going when you have a career and kids, that kind of thing-versus the extramarital stuff. (edit) Doug Savant: (talking about his friend Felicity Huffman) I would be happy to escort Felicity Huffman anywhere in life. She's a dear friend and I love Bill too. And you can't say Bill Macy without saying one of the greatest actors on the planet. I think that is mandatory, comes in your Screen Actors' Guild handbook now. No, we get along famously and I have the utmost respect for them. (edit) Doug Savant: (talking about his friend Felicity Huffman) She gave the most emotionally resonant performance of the year. Her performances are glorious and so was her speech. But I have warned her, with her multiple nominations, that gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins. She cannot get her head through the door anymore. (edit) Doug Savant: (talking about the pilot of Desperate Housewives) In the pilot there was only one scene between Lynette and Tom. She was a desperate housewife and I was just a husband. I had no idea what the had planned for us. But Felicity was always generous and inclusive, and for that coming home scene, we successfully overcame the awkwardness of being thrown into a physical relationship immediately. After we had shot the pilot I saw her at a party for an ABC show and she said hi. I said, "I liked our stuff". She said, "So did I." It gave me a sense that we were going to be okay. (edit)
