And then.

The Hello everyone and welcome to the Tobolaski files a series of stories about life, love, and the entertainment industry as told by actor Stephen

Tobolowski. My name is David Chen, I'm the managing editor at slashfilm.com and the host of the

slash filmcast and joining me today he is the man who played a Bud

Penrod in the ABC original series Desperate Housewives Stephen Tobolowski.

Stephen how you doing today sir?

I am doing very good. I have to alert you,

David, that when I got the script of Desperate Housewives, I do not recall

being called Bud Penrod ever, ever, ever.

In my script I was called Insurance Man.

And as people who've listened to this podcast,

The X Factor No.

That's episode 33 33 we should say.

Episode 33.

I'm not as an actor I am always wary of roles that don't have names

like playing cop number two or masochistic gay man. Usually those parts are not

fleshed out so to speak. When I got this script it said insurance man now you say my name was what David but

penrod but penrod you know note two actors there is another category between having a category of a part with a name like Bud

Penrod and a category being insurance man and that is this little category in the middle where the writers think they gave you a name,

Bud Penrod, but in their head you are the insurance man.

And consequently, David, as history has borne out,

I did not recur on desperate housewives.
