Jesse Metcalfe has said he’s too old to play roles such as the gardener in Desperate Housewives any more.

The actor said: “I don’t have a problem with comedy, I love comedy.

“I’m not really sure if I can play those roles any more now that I’m 30.

“The character’s not dead so there’s always a door open you know.

“I came back for, I think, two episodes in the third season, but that was the last time I appeared on the show.

“But you know that was a lot of fun, it gave me my start and you know I have everyone involved in Desperate Housewives to thank for where I’m at right now.”

He also said that he still finds it hard to find work in Hollywood: “You know I’m not really in the place where I get to pick and choose the work that I get just yet.

“You know I’m still emerging, the last three films I’ve done I got offered to me, which was definitely a privilege, but I’ve been auditioning.

“You know the climate right now in Hollywood is very competitive with the recession and the couple of strikes that we’ve had, fewer films are being made.”
