James Denton, who played Mike Delfino, recalled filming the episode where the fan-favorite character got killed off on 'Desperate Housewives'
Desperate Housewives fans weren't thrilled with the episode where Mike Delfino got shot but James Denton actually had a blast filming his character's death.
“You have one tube up one leg of your pants that has the blood to your chest, and you have a wire running down the other leg. This guy is out in the bushes with a detonator to set the blast off,' he recalled. 'And you can only do it about two or three times and that's the whole day.' While Mike's death hit hard, he was one of countless characters killed off during the show's eight-year run.
“ were always joking about who was gonna be the last man standing,” the actor revealed. ''Can we just survive another season?' they actually called me in to talk about killing Delfino off — which I thought was very respectful of them — and said, 'We wanna do something big before the finale that doesn't involve the women.''
