SAG Award-winning actor Jesse Metcalfe has starred in Hallmark's "A Country Wedding", zombie thriller "Dead Rising: Watchtower", and in the “Dallas” remake on TNT as Christopher Ewing, the adopted son of Bobby and Pam Ewing. He was previously seen in Jerry Bruckheimer’s TV series “Chase” on NBC. He is best known for his role as ‘John Rowland’, the gardener, in “Desperate Housewives” ABC’s pop culture phenomenon. His move to the big screen occurred in 2006 when Jesse starred as the lead and title character in John Tucker Must Die. After studying at NYU and the famed Tisch School of the Arts, he modeled in both the U.S. and in Europe, a stint that ended when he joined NBC’s hit daytime drama “Passions”. For four years he honed his craft while mesmerizing the daytime audience, breaking more than a few hearts with his 2004 departure from the show.
