A famous actor believed their career was finished following a significant role in Desperate Housewives.

The beloved show Desperate Housewives graced our screens for a remarkable eight seasons, starting in 2004. As fans reminisce about the intriguing storylines and unforgettable characters, one actor in particular has been reflecting on his significant role in the series.

Roger Bart, who played the creepy pharmacist George Williams, recently opened up about his experience on the hit show. Despite appearing in other popular productions such as How I Met Your Mother and Hercules, the 61-year-old shared that he is most recognized for his portrayal of George.

In season one, George fell deeply in love with Bree Van de Kamp and went to extreme lengths to win her over. This included poisoning her husband and even killing her therapist. As the plot thickened, George attempted to manipulate Bree into staying with him by faking his own suicide. However, things took a dark turn when he accidentally overdosed on sleeping pills.

In a new interview, Roger recalled the moment he realized the magnitude of the show's success. "I had no idea what it was going to be," he told People Magazine. "Matter of fact, I even shot my first scenes just thinking I was this druggist, and then, Marc Cherry, who created the show, came to our little trailer area and asked if I wanted to know what they had planned for the character. Of course, I was curious, and that's when I found out I would be playing a sociopathic stalker. I thought, 'Oh, this is going to be really fun.'"

As the show gained more and more popularity, Roger found himself being recognized as George even in public. "I remember walking through airports and realizing the impact this character had on people," he shared. "It put me in such incredible situations. I even asked the director if I would ever work again after this role."

Despite his initial fears, Roger is grateful to have been a part of such a groundbreaking show. Desperate Housewives first aired in 2004 and continued to captivate audiences until its emotional finale in 2012. Along with the show's success, the main Housewives – Marcia, Eva Longoria, Teri Hatcher, and Felicity Huffman – became household names.

And while it has been over a decade since the show's finale, there have been talks of a possible return to Wisteria Lane. Jesse Metcalfe, who played the hot gardener John Rowland, recently hinted at a reunion. "There's definitely been discussions," he revealed to the Sun. "I can certainly see that happening and I'd be open to it."

As fans eagerly wait for a potential comeback, the memories of Desperate Housewives continue to live on. Whether it was George's chilling plot or John's steamy affair with Gabrielle Solis, the show will always hold a special place in our hearts.
