Quick Excerpt: Harold began his television career playing uber-gay bad boy Brian Kinney, acted in a number of small independent films, did a little Tennessee Williams on stage, and starred in the short-lived Fox crime drama Vanished before joining the cast of Desperate Housewives as Susan’s (Teri Hatcher) artist boyfriend, Jackson Braddock. But what role would he most like to play that he hasn’t yet?

“Sam, the Burl Ives role in Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer,” he said firmly. “What Burl Ives brought to the studio when he was doing those voices… I mean, you think Brian Kinney had an impact? For anyone who grew up in the United States around the same time I was growing up, you’d know that voice, have seen the Christmas special with the stop motion animation. It’s an iconic role. That’s what I’m interested in.”
