Now 37, actor Cody Kasch was just a teenager when he landed the role of Zach Young on Desperate Housewives in 2004.
He was on the show on and off throughout it’s eight season run.
During his time on the series, Cody’s character was involved in a lot of the drama on Wisteria Lane.
The opening episode saw Zach’s mom kill herself, and as result he became depressed and his dad put him mental institution.

Later he found out he was adopted, and when he reconnected with his paternal grandfather he killed him to inherit his huge wealth.
Posting a picture of how he looks now on Reddit, one fan said: “I can’t believe this is him?”
While another added: “Wow, he looks completely different!”
These days Cody continues to act and has starred in numerous TV movies.
REBOOT IN THE WORKS
Meanwhile, this week it was revealed that Desperate Housewives is being rebooted.
It has been reported that producers are working on a new series called ‘Wisteria Lane’.
The series has been set up for development at the Disney owned company, Onyx Collective.
Deadline reports that the show comes from 20th Television and Simpson Street, the production company of Emmy-winning actress Kerry Washington.
Natalie Chaidez serves as the writer for the new show which the outlet describes as “a fun, sexy, darkly comedic soap/mystery in the vein of Desperate Housewives.”
Much like the original, the reboot will be set among a group of five different friends – who are sometimes ‘frenemies’ – and they all live on the cul de sac named “Wisteria Lane.”
With stunning homes, beautiful families and shining cars in the driveway, all the neighbours live that picture-perfect dream.
However, behind the surface and those iconic white-picket fences, there are secrets and lies.
The outlet has also teased that the show has evolved somewhat in a new social media age, over a decade after the show last aired.
It remains unclear if Kerry Washington will appear in the forthcoming drama.
Marc Cherry was the original creator and executive producer of Desperate Housewives and is not part of the pitch.
However, sources have told the outlet that he is aware of the project and he could be involved in another capacity.

THE ORIGINAL SHOW
Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman, and Marcia Cross starred in the original version of Desperate Housewives.
Nicollette Sheridan also appeared in the show for the first five series before she was killed off.
Last October, fans celebrated the 20th anniversary of the show after it’s original air date in 2004.
Earlier this month, Eva admitted that the cast have faced endless speculation about returning to the show.
She told Stellar magazine that she “would be the first person” to sign up for a reboot.
Although, Deadline reports that there are no current plans for the original characters to appear in the reboot.
