Dancing with the Stars 2020 contestant Jesse Metcalfe is best known for his roles on Desperate Housewives and in John Tucker Must Die. Ever since he was cast on DWTS, the fans became curious about what Jesse has been up to since his breakout roles on TV and in film. On Desperate Housewives, Jesse played a character named John Rowland, who was a teenage gardener in the suburbs of Wisteria Lane. The character of Gabrielle Solis, who was one of the housewives, had a scandalous affair with John for a long time on the show despite the fact that she was married.

In a twist of fate, Jesse Metcalfe played another character named John in the 2006 film John Tucker Must Die. In this hilarious rom-com, John is dating various women from different cliques in high school. When the women find out that they are being played, they decide to break John’s heart and destroy his reputation with help from the new girl in town. Both Desperate Housewives and John Tucker Must Die did well, but Jesse will always be best remembered for his teenage gardener role on TV.

Over the last decade, DWTS season 29 star Jesse Metcalfe has appeared on Chase as Luke Waton, on Chesapeake Shores as Trace Riley, and on Dallas as Christopher Ewing. In 2020, he has starred in A Beautiful Place to Die: Martha’s Vineyard Mystery and Riddled with Deceit: A Martha's Vineyard Mystery. He also appeared in Cover Me and Hard Kill this year. According to Nicki Swift, Jesse is a producer of the movie The Latin from Manhattan which is currently being filmed. Metcalfe opened up about things he wants to pursue outside of acting, “I’m interested in so many different things. I want to produce. I want to direct. I want to play music. I want to do it all. But I think my directorial debut is imminent.” Most recently, Jesse has made himself known in the world of reality TV by appearing on Dancing with the Stars. On the latest 80s themed episode, Metcalfe channeled the energy of John Hughes movies. Jesse and his partner, Sharna Burgess, did their best to impress the judges with their tango. Unfortunately, however, the duo was sent home at the end of the 80s night.

However, Jesse Metcalfe’s career isn’t the only thing he’s been focusing on. He’s also been working on his personal life and navigating certain relationships. In 2007, Metcalfe only appeared on one episode of Desperate Housewives, which many fans suspect to be linked to his rehab stint in the same year. Today, Jesse is proudly sober. While going through a sobriety program, Jesse said that he found a connection to a higher power and believes his life is enriched because of faith. On the other hand, Jesse hasn’t had as much success with romantic relationships, particularly with his ex-girlfriend Cara Santana. He proposed to Cara in 2016, but the couple never ended up tying the knot. They ended their 13-year relationship in 2020 shortly after Metcalfe was photographed getting cozy with certain women.

Jesse has been working hard on his career and on himself since his debut on Desperate Housewives. The actor's longtime fans are excited to see where he will pop up in the future.
