Happy Birthday to...
...Shawn Pyfrom who plays Andrew Van de Kamp on "Desperate Housewives."
The talented young actor turns 22 today and for four seasons now, has been one of network television's few gay characters to be a series regular.
Andrew's best seasons were in year one and two when he was a sociopathic teen terror with a libido. But in season three, he was defanged and curiously relegated to second-rate status without a storyline of his own. It's been a disservice to the character and the actor and I hope that in season five - with Andrew now working as his mother's assistant - he'll see more interesting storylines.
But, I won't hold my breath.

That's so sweet of you Greg to acknowledge Shawn's Birthday! I met him at the ArcLight a few months ago. I just had to introduce myself and compliment him since I'm a huge fan of the show. He was flattered and I shook his hand. He's a tiny fellow in person, but very cute :o)
