Halle Berry clearly wants to go from the big screen to the small one and add a TV part – even a small one – to her acting resume. If only the producers of "Desperate Housewives" will let her on the hit show.
She revealed to Entertainment Tonight how bad she wants it. "I want to be on the show. I'd have to be a villain. I want to stir up something naughty... with Nicolette Sheridan, I want to stir something up with her."
However, she will have to join the growing list of stars who want parts, including Madonna, Britney Spears, Oprah Winfrey and Miranda Richardson who have been trying to get on Wisteria Lane.
, And Pamela Anderson is probably officially off the list since she was reportedly the first choice to play Edie (the role went to Nicollette Sheridan) but she turned it down thinking the prime time comedy/drama would be a bust. Instead, she ended up starring in her own half hour sit-com "Stacked" which, even though it was picked up for a second season, has nowhere near the buzz of the DH show.
Here are some other interesting casting tidbits as researched by Lorrie Lynch of USA Weekend: Calista Flockhart ("Allie McBeal") and Mary-Louise Parker ("West Wing") were reportedly offered the role of Susan (Teri Hatcher's gig); and in the pilot episode, Kyle Searles ("7th Heaven") was lined up for the part of John the gardener (Jesse Metcalfe 's part)while Michael Reilly Burke as Rex (Steven Culp).
Furthermore, Marcia Cross originally tried out for the Mary Alice Young part but was cast as Bree instead, while Nicollette Sheridan tried for the part of Bree but was cast as Edie.
