Wisteria Lane is about to heat up all over again with arrival of a sexy new character, I can reveal…
A little dickie bird has informed me the that British heartthrob actor Emrhys Cooper has joined the Desperate Housewives cast and is secretly filming his ‘prominent’ role for the final season of the popular ABC show this week!
Career-wise Los Angeles-based Cooper has been chugging along in Tinseltown rather nicely for the past few years, after he arrived to promote his role in the hit movie Mamma Mia.
Since then work offers have flowed in at a steady rate and casting directors have started to notice his talents after he appeared in the hugely successful Joe Orton play Entertaining Mr. Sloane, a role which has gained him critical acclaim and three Broadway World award nominations for his portrayal of Mr. Sloane, thus proving he is more than just a pretty face!
Emrhys told the British Weekly, ” I have always been a fan, and an avid viewer, of Desperate Housewives… and am so excited to be a part of such an incredible/iconic cast and crew.”
He added, “As an actor, when you get to work alongside the actors/actresses you have most closely watched and admired it is a definite plus and something I’m not soon to forget.”
However, the part in DH didn’t come easy, Cooper had actually tried out for the series twice before, so this is a case of third time lucky for him.
Cooper revealed, “I auditioned for the show three times and never managed to get it, but after playing Mr. Sloane I guess there was a bit of a buzz going around after the casting director saw it. Then they called my agent and wanted me to audition.”
Though he can’t give too much away, I can tell you that he’ll be playing a ‘charming’ British guy (what else) who gets himself into a little hot water with various key characters.
He said, “I can’t really talk about the plot too much but, but I can tell you that yesterday I was shooting with Eva Longoria who plays Gabby and we clicked instantly.”
I reckon Emrhys Cooper will be a huge success with the fans of Wisteria Lane; I for one cannot wait to watch him…
