One thing you have to say about the powers that be at
Desperate Housewives, they're really great with casting. Great looking guys, beautiful women, quirky character actors; we've seen them all on Wisteria Lane and usually they leave a lasting impression.
The latest name to check in to Desperate Housewives is Neal McDonough. He'll be appearing in the new season and
Hollywood Reporter is wondering how he'd do with Nicolette Sheridan's character, Edie Britt. Is that wondering or playing matchmaker? How do we know that Marc Cherry isn't setting him up as a mystery man from Bree's past? Cherry is nothing if not inventive, so good luck trying to anticipate his plotlines!

Described as a kind of companion piece to their 2001 HBO miniseries Band of Brothers, producers Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's new HBO series, The Pacific, will begin filming this summer.
The Pacific focuses on three marines stationed in the Pacific: Robert Leckie, John Basilone and Eugene Sledge. The miniseries is based on the books With the Old Breed and Helmet for My Pillow, written by Sledge and Leckie, respectively. Hugh Ambrose, the brother of the late Band of Brothers author Stephen E. Ambrose, is also serving as a consultant on the new miniseries, and, along with Hanks and Spielberg, interviewed the men on which this new miniseries, a fictionalized account of their time as soldiers, is based.

Scott Grimes is actually one of the few famous people I
can say I knew somewhat well at one time. Back sometime around 5th grade or so, Scott was in my class in a small
grammar school in Dracut, Massachusetts. I remember his first forays into the acting world, as he sang and performed
well beyond a young kid's talents in school plays, then public television talent shows and eventually commercials. I
remember at one point, he'd gotten a gig with a popular (at the time) toy car company, and how jealous we were that
they gave him a bunch of the cars for doing the commercial. Times sure have changed for Mr. Grimes since those days.
