Mike

James Denton

What's your favorite thing about Mike Delfino?
His dedication and single-mindedness, the fact that he's so passionate about finding out what happened to this person from his past.

So is he a good guy or a bad guy?
Without giving too much away, he's definitely not a bad guy. Notice I didn't say he's a good guy. The first dozen episodes, almost everything we saw of Mike was a façade...even when he tells Susan he loves her.

Wait — he doesn't really love her?
[Laughs] Who knows? That's the fun part. I mean, I know, but you can't be sure. I'd like to see Mike and Susan try and make a go of it, for my own selfish reasons. I'd get the job security if [they] end up together.

Is Susan your favorite Housewife, then?
Easily. There's just a really sweet vulnerability about the character, and she's very funny.
