Desperate Housewives Actor Fired

New Desperate Housewives actor Page Kennedy was fired from the hit ABC show on Tuesday, a series spokeswoman says.

Kennedy, 28, was let go Friday after a "thorough investigation by the studio," publicist Janet Daily tells the Associated Press. She did not say what the investigation was about. However, the alleged misconduct didn't involve another cast member, a source close to the production tells the AP.

Kennedy, who joined Desperate Housewives this season, played Caleb, a character being held in the basement of Wisteria Lane newcomer Betty Applewhite, played by Alfre Woodard. Kennedy's character has only been seen briefly – most memorably when he tried to escape his dreary confinement.
