Zane Huett is best known for his role as shy but sweet Parker Scavo on ABC’s hit Desperate Housewives. Though he plays a quiet character, Zane is a typical energetic kid who was happy (and excited) to tell us what’s he’s up to.

THE STAR SCOOP:
Tell us about your role on Desperate Housewives and how you’ve liked being part of the show for so long?

ZANE HUETT:
Okay, I play Parker Scavo, and he’s sort of the shy one. He doesn’t like to get into a lot of trouble, and he’s very sweet. It’s just been a great time so far, and I love working with everybody on the set. Everyone’s nice. They give me advice. Everyone’s been very nice to me over the years.

THE STAR SCOOP:
Have you learned a lot from playing with Felicity Huffman? Has she given you any tips?

ZANE HUETT:
When I was first starting, I always looked into the camera or I talked too loud. She gave me the right ideas [about] what to do. I used to stutter a lot when I did my lines, and she told me what to do.

THE STAR SCOOP:
Do you feel like Desperate Housewives has given you other opportunities?

ZANE HUETT:
Well, yes, it’s opened up a lot of doors, and before, I wasn’t able to go to premieres and I’ve gone to a million premieres after Desperate Housewives. It’s really helped me with my career.

THE STAR SCOOP:
Tell us about being part of such a big cast.

ZANE HUETT:
I love it, and everyone’s very nice. We’ve pretty much become a family, and we’ve known each other for so long – four years. It’s been nice and I guess being with the bigger set – I don’t really know the difference between the smaller cast or the bigger set, but I think it’s nice to have a bigger cast because there’s more sets on it and there’s more people you get to meet and work with. Like, all the famous people, like Nicollette Sheridan, Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross, Felicity [Huffman], Doug [Savant], all of them are really nice.

THE STAR SCOOP:
In the future, do you want to be part of movies, or do more TV? What will you want to do after Desperate Housewives?

ZANE HUETT:
I was thinking I was going to try and get on Disney, the TV shows, or maybe even a few movies. I’ve always wanted to be on Disney and be a part of that tradition. I like comedy a lot, my favorite thing.

THE STAR SCOOP:
When you’re not acting, what else do you like to do?

ZANE HUETT:
My uncle, he has a soccer league, so I play soccer, I audition a lot. Guitar lessons, I’ve been doing it for lessons. I’m also doing a few foundations. I have Starlight Starbright Foundation. it helps kids that are sick get entertainment and get away from their doctors and stuff. I also have [a] rescue, which provides shelter and you can adopt dogs who are abused.

THE STAR SCOOP:
Why did you want to get involved in these activities?

ZANE HUETT:
I actually got interviewed for [the] rescue. I love dogs, I told them that, and they just loved me, and they’ve known me ever since. It’s just been really fun with them.

THE STAR SCOOP:
We read that you want to direct one day.

ZANE HUETT:
I have a movie in the making. It’s a short film, but it’s going to be really good. I’ve always liked commanding stuff, and telling people what to do in movies, making my own characters. I really like to make fantasy characters or making something up in my movies.

THE STAR SCOOP:
Do you have any other projects coming up?

ZANE HUETT:
I’ve been auditioning a lot.

THE STAR SCOOP:
What about further down in the future? Who would you like to work with?

ZANE HUETT:
I would love to be in a movie with Will Farrell or Jon Heder and Adam Sandler…I’ve really wanted to direct an episode of Desperate Housewives. That would be really cool.

THE STAR SCOOP:
You’ve been very determined to be an actor for a long time. What advice do you have for other kids?

ZANE HUETT:
I would just say, if you’re climbing a ladder, and one of those little pedals breaks, just keep on climbing until you get to the top. Never give up. No matter what your dreams are, you can achieve anything if you set your mind on it. If they want to become an actor, just keep on trying and never give up. If you have an audition, you’re going to get a lot more nos than yeses. Just keep on trying because, let’s say you have 20 auditions, you’re probably gonna just get one, but you can still say that you got something.

THE STAR SCOOP:
What do you want your fans to know?

ZANE HUETT:
Every actor can be normal. Everybody’s normal.
