A brief chat w/Shawn
Pyfrom of "Desperate Housewives"
28th January 2009
It was so good to see the adorable actor Shawn
Pyfrom on the red carpet at the Screen Actors
Guild Awards on Sunday. I've interviewed this guy, who
plays Andrew Van De Kamp on "Desperate
Housewives" many times since the show premiered
five years ago and he has never failed to be anything
but completely professional and polite no matter how
much screen time he had been getting during any
particular season.
Shawn's gay character was
front-and-center during the show's first two seasons
then put on the back burner for the most part during
seasons three and four although he was never completely
absent. Andrew was finally given a new love interest
this season, Dr. Alex Cominis played by Todd
Grinnell.
Here is our little Q and
A:
Q. I'm so happy
that your character finally has a good storyline again.
How's it been?
A. "It's been fun. It's been great to have a little
more to do.
Q. We met Andrew when he was in high school. Is
he turning out in a way that you like?
A. "Yeah. I think it was sort of necessary for him
to grow up and mature and evolve. It's been five years
then we jumped five years ahead from where I was!
(laughs).
Q. How about the guy who plays your boyfriend?
How is it working with him?
A. Todd has been great. He's a very talented guy. It's
been very easy to work with him."
I had to wrap things up
prematurely because Holly Hunter was
standing there waiting for me to interview her. It was
an embarrassment of riches! Anyway, hooray for Shawn!
