Felicity Huffman Asks Husband For Acting Tips

Felicity Huffman regularly contacts her husband William H. Macy from the set of Desperate Housewives to ask him for acting tips.
 
The actress plays mother-of-five Lynette Scavo on the hit U.S. show, which also stars Eva Longoria and Teri Hatcher - but rather than turn to her co-workers for support on set, she looks a little closer to home.
 
Huffman tells Scotland's Sunday Mail, "If you have someone like Bill in your corner, you make use of him professionally.
 
"I call him from the set and I fax him pages of the script so that he can help me with the scene. He helps me a lot."
 
Huffman also admits filming truly is a family affair for her, as she also takes her two young daughters on set: "There have been a bunch of times when we were shooting where they were hidden under tables or behind couches and stuff."
