(Los Angeles, California) A hospital spokeswoman says “Desperate Housewives” actor Gayle Harold is in critical condition following a motorcycle accident.

USC Medical Center spokeswoman Adelaida De La Cerda said Harold was awaiting further tests.

Publicist Nancy Seltzer said Wednesday that Harold fractured his shoulder, and “Housewives” creator and executive producer Marc Cherry said he apparently has swelling on the brain but was expected to recover.

Harold plays Jackson, the boyfriend of Terri Hatcher’s character, who plays a pivotal role in the fifth season’s eighth episode.

Cherry said Harold was scheduled to be on set before the Tuesday accident, which was first reported by TMZ. Selzer said no one else was injured.

Harold played Brian Kinney in the Showtime series Queer As Folk from 2000 – 2005.

    • I also read of a pivotal scene in the current Desperate Housewives series where Harold along with much of the principal cast are caught in a nightclub fire. Shades Of QAF indeed. Ripoff? Maybe, we’ll see.

    • I had a chance to meet Gayle in Michigan while QAF was still airing. He is the most down to earth and sincere man. I hope he makes a full and successful recovery.
