Chris Carmack Lands Desperate Housewives Role

Michael Ausiello is reporting that Desperate Housewives has tapped onetime O.C. actor Chris Carmack for a potentially recurring role. Carmack will play Susan’s cousin Tim, who shows up on Wisteria Lane to help his older cousin with her taxes and ends up doing Mike’s, too. Housewives is also casting a teenaged version of Tim, who’ll be seen in a flashback. Tim apparently witnessed a tragic event, possibly involving Susan.
