(Click here for help.) |  Jesse Metcalfe mini-bio: Jesse Metcalfe grew up in Waterford, Connecticut and dropped out of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts in order to pursue a career as a writer/director. Metcalfe moved to Los Angeles and attended an open casting call, successfully auditioning for the NBC soap opera Passions. He played Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald, one of four siblings, from the show's debut in July 1999 until July 2004. He left Passions because he felt that he "wasn’t really going to get anything more out of it." In late 2003 and early 2004, Metcalfe made two guest appearances on the WB Network TV series Smallville as vindictive "meteor freak hunter" Van McNulty. Metcalfe returned to television as the teenage gardener John Rowland on the popular ABC TV drama Desperate Housewives, where his character had a secret relationship with housewife Gabrielle Solis played by Eva Longoria, since the series' debut in October 2004. Metcalfe has only made a few appearances on the second season of Desperate Housewives. In October 2005, rumors started to circulate that Metcalfe wanted to exit Desperate Housewives in order to return to Passions as Miguel. However, Metcalfe had made it clear that he is "looking forward," and fans should not hold out hope for his return to the NBC soap. Metcalfe is the fifth victim and the fifth star to appear on Punk'd more than once, after Ben McKenzie, Wilmer Valderrama, Omarion, and Jesse McCartney. His first appearance was when Metcalfe and Ashton Kutcher punk'd Eva Longoria for stealing thousands of dollars and fraud (false identity). His second is when Metcalfe was punk'd by Ashton Kutcher's crew members during the Spider-Man 3 audition. Metcalfe also appeared in 3 Doors Down' "Let Me Go" video. Metcalfe's first film role is in John Tucker Must Die, alongside Ashanti and One Tree Hill's Sophia Bush, in which he plays a wealthy and insincere teenage playboy high school basketball player. The film opened on July 28, 2006. Metcalfe is not returning to Desperate Housewives for the 2006-2007 season. Jesse hosted The New Paul O'Grady Show on Thursday the 26th of October, because Paul was taking the week off on doctor's orders. Jesse had previously been interviewed on the show twice before.
