Nancy Travis to Come Aboard Desperate Housewives as...

at .

Desperate Housewives has found a wife for John Schneider.

A day after that series revealed that the Smallville veteran would portray the father of Brian Austin Green's character, we can confirm that Nancy Travis will play this handyman's mom. The actress most recently starred on The Bill Engvall Show.

Travis is booked for multiple episodes and will debut on the season's seventh installment.

Desperate Housewives premieres season number-seven, meanwhile, on September 26. We can't wait.

Lynette: Alright, start with Dear Mrs. McCluskey.

Lynette: Do you know what physiological warfare means?
