Seems not so long ago that then-Dallas Mayor Laura Miller and Dallas Film Commission director Janis Burklund were staging a press conference in the Dallas City Hall Flag Room begging the producers of the (ill-fated) big-screen Dallas to “Shoot JR Here.” They brought with them T-shirts and bumper stickers, and despite the gimmicks they were serious and not a little desperate to re-energize local film and TV production, which had grown fallow in the absence of state tax incentives that could lure cameras and crews to Dallas.
Some four years later, Burklund cannot recall Dallas ever having been this loaded with productions. Of course, FOX’s Code 58 is here till at least July, and, as we mentioned two weeks ago, Jerry Bruckheimer is set to shoot an NBC pilot, Chase, in March. So far, only Desperate Housewives’ Jesse Metcalfe has been cast as a U.S. Marshal on the lookout for fugitives in the American Southwest.

Jesse Metcalfe has landed a role in NBC’s drama pilot Chase, says The Hollywood Reporter.
The Jerry Bruckheimer-produced project centres on a high-priority fugitive apprehension team in South Texas. Former Desperate Housewives star Metcalfe has apparently been tapped to play a preppy Marshal from D.C.

Is Jesse coming returning on ABC’s hit TV series Desperate Housewives?
According to TV Guide, seems like their is a major possibility for Jesse’s return, as character John Rowland.
At last week’s Desperate Housewives panel at Paley Fest, series creator Marc Cherry teased that “a major character from the first and second season comes back for the final five minutes of the [season] finale” (which airs May 17, on ABC). Cherry’s use of the phrase “from the first and second season” is clever, as there are quite a few former cast members who fall into that category. Review the likely suspects below and then in the comments section explain who you think it might be booked for an encore.
Betty Applewhite (Alfre Woodard): Technically, Betty only appeared in Season 2, but we have this feeling like Cherry feels as bad as we all do that Woodard’s mystery arc was so poorly written, and he might want to make it up to her. We’d love to see Betty return in a more dramatic capacity — neighborhood gossip, extortionist, all-around bad influence. You know, like Edie used to be.
John Rowland (Jesse Metcalfe): This seems to be the most likely choice (for beefcake nostalgia reasons alone), although we have to ask: Didn’t they already do the Gaby-and-John-the-Gardener reunion episode? As we recall, it went kind of terribly and he was engaged to be married at the time. Still, we’re betting it’s him and he’s a changed man, which makes him even more attractive to the ladies of the Lane.
A new exclusive clip of Jesse’s new movie, The Other End of the Line, has just surfaced, and it looks great! You can watch it here!
The Other End of the Line is the story of Priya Sethi who works in a call center in India for an American bank. She dreams of American life and culture.
So much so that she makes up an alter ego for her American callers – Jennifer David, native of San Francisco.
When Granger Woodruff (Jesse Metcalfe) rings about some trouble on his credit card, Priya and Granger immediately hit it off. On a whim, Priya flies to meet her American boy.
Metcalfe and Saran embark on an adventure that is equal parts drama and comedy.
The movie is now on DVD, click here to order the DVD!
Jesse recently got knocked unconscious after falling 40 ft. off of a balcony. He was in Monaco, after hosting the “World Music Awards,” at the after party for the event.
Us Weekly got word from Jesse’s rep that he is “doing fine”.
“He accidentally slipped off a balcony and was knocked unconscious,” the rep adds, “but he is fine and now recovering from some minor bruises in a London hospital.”
We hope everything is fine with Jesse!
Found some info about Jesse supposedly starring in an upcoming horror movie!
We learned that horror veteran Bill Moseley will be starring alongside Erika Christensen in Rob Lieberman’s (Fire in the Sky) untitled thriller, which was written by Marek Posival. Original titled Tortured, the film is a journey of an average, loving couple, Craig and Elise, who hit their limit after they experience the loss of their 5 -year old son to a pedophile. Once the judicial system also fails to deliver, the couple is forced to turn inside and releases the animal that lives within all civilized people. Shooting begins this September in Vancouver, Canada. Moseley has starred in tons of genre pics from Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, House Of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects, Halloween, Grindhouse, Repo! The Genetic Opera and many, many more!
