Rex

Steven Culp

Here's your chance to tell us Rex is misunderstood and is actually a wonderful family man.
He's not a bad guy; he's confused. He's like the guy in the Talking Heads song: ''This is not my beautiful house. This is not my beautiful wife. How did I get here?''

What was it like being on the receiving end of Bree's put-down, ''Rex cries when he ejaculates''?
I know Marcia [Cross] was just embarrassed to say the line — she really didn't want to say it at first — and I was the one who said, ''No, really, it'll work. It's funny.'' I guess I'm pretty confident in my manhood.

Who's your favorite Housewife? Bree. I love her complexity.

What kind of research did you do for your S&M story line?
You Google sexual fetish and you come up with a lot of websites. And I'm telling you, man, you spend a little time with this and you want to take a bath. Yech.
