DOUG SAVANT
Tom Scavo on the ABC Television Network's "Desperate Housewives"
Doug Savant is back for the fifth season of ABC's television phenomenon "Desperate Housewives," in which he portrays former advertising executive turned pizza parlor owner "Tom Scavo."
This season "Housewives" jumps ahead five years to find Tom and his wife, Lynette (Felicity Huffman), still grappling with their four kids, including their troublesome twins... who are now teenagers. And this year Tom's drive to pursue activities which truly make him happy will test Lynette's patience more than ever.
Savant is no stranger to appointment television, having gained his first major success on "Melrose Place" as Matt Fielding, one of television's first openly-gay characters. On the big screen he has starred in films such as "Masquerade," opposite Rob Lowe, "Hanoi Hilton" and "Red Surf," opposite George Clooney. Following "Melrose," he took on a supporting role in the Dean Devlin/Roland Emmerich mega-production "Godzilla," starring Matthew Broderick.
Other television appearances include such hit shows as "24," "According to Jim" and "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation."
Savant is married to actress Laura Leighton and they have four children.
