Kansas native Tuc Watkins built a career acting on daytime soap operas with two multi-year runs on One Life to Live, as well as extended stints on General Hospital and All My Children. In 1999, he was cast as the lead on the Showtime original series Beggars and Choosers, which was an edgy drama about the TV industry and lasted two seasons. Watkins' first major prime-time network role came in 2007 when he scored a role on ABC's hit comedy drama Desperate Housewives, playing one half of Wisteria Lane's first gay couple. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
