Here's What Julie Benz's Favorite Role Is

Publish date: 2024-04-24

Asked if there's one role over the years that stood out, Benz offered a definitive answer. "I will tell you, and people kind of laugh whenever I say this, but my all-time favorite was 'Desperate Housewives.' Just because I was a huge fan of the show. I was a huge fan of all of the women on show and their work," Benz recalled. "They do such incredible acting on that show. And so, I remember my very first day on Wisteria Lane and getting out of the van. I was with Teri Hatcher and I was trying to play it cool and not be this fan girl and I couldn't help myself. I started running up and down the Wisteria Lane going, 'Oh my God, there's Susan's house!'"

"And I remember Teri just looking at me and then laughing," Benz added. "And she's like, 'It's so charming to see somebody who's so excited to be here.' I was like, 'You have no idea. You have no idea how excited I am to be here and to be working with all of you.'" Benz was such a fan of the show, in fact, that it led to some awkward — and hilarious — situations on set.
