Exclusive: John Schneider in the 'Money'

Oct 29, 2008, 02:02 PM | by Michael Ausiello

Categories: Dirty Sexy Money

Johnschneider_l A regular gig on ABC Family's The Secret Life of the American Teenager isn't stopping John Schneider from getting a little dirty. Or sexy. Or (c'mon, play along) money.

Translation: Sources confirm to me exclusively that the eternally boyish Dukes of Hazzard star has booked a three-episode arc on ABC's Dirty Sexy Money. He'll play a congressman who screws over Simon at the behest of a blackmailin' Tripp.

Schneider shouldn't have any problem squeezing some Sexy time into his Secret Life workload, since, as EW's Jennifer Armstrong informs me, "there are like 9 billion characters on the show."

Meanwhile, the search is on for an actress to play Schneider's upscale trophy wife on DSM. Got suggestions? Post 'em below!

I'll start watching DSM when Donna Mills makes her appearance.
As for John Schneider's screen wife let's drag Heather Langenkamp (ie. the original Elm Street girl) out of horror movie obscurity!

krykel Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 03:41 PM EST

catherine bach all the way!

jeremy Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 08:41 PM EST

faith hill would be the perfect trophy wife..oh wait are we talking about 4 the show? oh,ahh,i'll have to stick with faith hill

LiKo Thu, Nov 6, 2008 at 12:21 PM EST

Either Angie Harmon or Melinda Clarke

scott Thu, Nov 6, 2008 at 03:04 AM EST

What about Lauren Graham from Gilmore Girls.

eli_darling Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 12:54 PM EST

It should be a true socialite - Paris Hilton, or BFF Nicole Richie? Or a playboy bunny? Something ridiculous and over the top! Why not? They are only short-times anyway. Posh Spice? Someone who can be funny...

artgirl33 Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 01:40 PM EST

We need some more diversity. I say someone Hispanic or African-American.
How about Ayda Field ( Montana from the cancelled Back to You)-- she looks Hispanic, Lauren Velez (Lt. Laguerta from Dexter, she looks Hispanic and African-American) or Christine Adams (she was just on Pushing Daisies as Simone in the episode Dim Sum, Lose Sum). They would all be good choices.

holly Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 04:18 PM EST

Tall slender and can be VERY sexy JORJA FOX

Pekay Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 12:07 PM EST

January Jones from "Mad MEn" would be great for a trophy wife for Schneider.

Clark Sat, Nov 1, 2008 at 05:35 AM EST

Hot trophy wife for John Schneider? Annette O'Toole. Oh wait - it's been done already.

jacob Sat, Nov 1, 2008 at 12:59 AM EST

I'd like to see Michelle Geller take over he role of Juliet.

Carlos Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 08:12 PM EST

I too wanna see Sarah Michelle on DSM. I think she'd be great as the trophy wife!!

Leslie Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 11:54 AM EST

I second Gabrielle Union as the trophy wife. And why doesn't this show have a regular tv watch?

jacob Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 08:48 AM EST

I wish DSM would recast the role of Juliet and bring Sara Michelle Geller in. This show needs a female star. As for Vanessa Marcil, sure why not? Maybe Vanessa could bring in some fans from General Hospital. From what I hear DSM needs to get their 18-49 viewer ratings up.

leann Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 10:04 PM EST

When is John Schnedier going to be on Dirty Sexy Money? What dates? Thanks

Dennis Dziadowicz Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 08:56 PM EST

I posted the first comment and it still holds up. Jessalyn Gilsig would be perfect.

Gooster Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 06:55 PM EST

Heather Locklear

meme Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 02:20 PM EST

Snsetblaze, I agree that Kelly Carlson would be perfect.

Kristine Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 08:54 AM EST

Is it just me or does Bo Duke look as good now as he did thirty years ago? Anyway, I'd love to see Kelly Preston, Sandra Bullock or possbibly Helen Hunt play the wife.

Mark Allen Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 08:05 AM EST

Sina, I could not agree with you more. "Dirty Sexy Money" Season One was smart, snarky and utterly addictive.

Season Two is little more than a pallid "Dynasty" clone ("Paper Dolls," anyone?). Lurching from one faux crisis to another, the show has lost its soul.

Lucy Liu is ridiculous as the prosecutor. What attorney wears sleveless outfits to court, much less after Labor Day? She's as good a sign as any of how ridiculous the show has become.

Who really cares who plays Schneider's wife? The show is a lost cause.

Sina Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 12:03 AM EST

Okay I want to comment on how DSM has changed from last season. It's not as funny as it use to be and they have Karen and Jeremy like they are stupid. Karen was kind of dingy but she was smart and knew when someone was conning her. What happened to her? And Jeremy needs his twin, badly. Also TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much Karen. Still waiting for her to get hit by a bus.

J Lo Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 08:34 PM EST

And how could we forget the ultimate trophy wife - Melinda Clarke back as Julie Cooper Nichol! It's only fair since every single old rich guy role on TV is played by Alan Dale.

J Lo Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 08:28 PM EST

Totally second whoever said Charisma Carpenter. She's already logged in time as a trophy wife on Veronica Mars and we all know she can do b*tchy from Buffy. Don't think SMG would fit the part, but yeah, it would be great if she returned to TV at some point!

drew Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 08:01 PM EST

Catherine Bach

Michelle Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 06:39 PM EST

I'm going to second Morena Baccarin. She would be perfect and I miss her on network TV. I'm just happy that John's going to be on one of my favorite shows!

Snsetblaze Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 06:15 PM EST

How about the actress who plays Kimber on Nip/Tuck which John Schneider was on last year. Can't remember her name and too lazy to look it up.

Luke Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 05:23 PM EST

Alyssa Milano has nothing better to do these days

M Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 04:36 PM EST

Morena Baccarin ... she would be the perfect politician's wife, she does a great charming-to-icy scene.

Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 04:36 PM EST

Dakota Fanning

Chloe Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 04:33 PM EST

I believe Vanessa Marcil is doing an arc on Lipstick Jungle. Carla Gugino is on Entourage. Diane Lane is an academy award nominated actress - no TV show for her! Since it's a "trophy wife" - it's got to be a young actress.

DanOregon Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 04:33 PM EST

Wasn't there another well-known actor talking to Trip during the boat scene on the first episode. I thought something was going to come out of that.

CandyMaize Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 04:17 PM EST

I had another thought .. not exactly 'trophy wife' age-wise, except she definitely is beautiful at any age .. Paige Turco!

Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 04:14 PM EST

Nikki Cox.

Charstin Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 04:11 PM EST

First, I'm glad to see John Schneider in a role on network television. Second, I don't know why - but Carla Gugino came to mind.

GD Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 04:06 PM EST

Angie Harmon sounds like a good idea.

T Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 03:47 PM EST

I think Gabrielle Union would make a nice trophy wife...

Gar Harris Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 03:38 PM EST

IMHO Rachelle Carson (Ed Begley's wife) would be ideal. She in the age bracket, beautiful and a very good actress if her stage presence is any criterion. Besides that I have been to her home.

Trent Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 03:32 PM EST

What about Charisma Carpenter from Buffy the Vampire fame?

pac Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 03:18 PM EST

yes, Vanessa marcil would be a great addition to any show!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jack Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 02:52 PM EST

Diane Lane would be perfect. She can play any part. She probably doesn't need the new found money but it would be great exposure.http://www.foundmoney.com/unclaimedmoney/index.html?asid=51&linkname=

JS Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 02:49 PM EST

Tanya Roberts would OWN this role.

michael Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 02:33 PM EST

Isn't Donna Mills joining??

angie5204 Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 02:13 PM EST

How about Angie Harmon?

Lola Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 02:07 PM EST

Vanessa Marcil

GB Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 02:00 PM EST

Upscale trophy Wife, Maggie Grace.
Low class trashy wife, Chestica Simpson.

anne Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 01:59 PM EST

Paris Hilton. DSM is NOT a POS.

Dave Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 01:37 PM EST

I think that it would be fitting for him to have his trophy wife to be Jessica Simpson.

Kimmy Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 01:34 PM EST

Jennifer Lopez should be the trophy wife! She would be a true DIVA and really make the show a blockbuster! Please ABC PLEASE

Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 01:31 PM EST

DSM is a POS

Carlos Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 01:26 PM EST

I'd love to see Sarah Michelle Gellar play John's trophy wife. I think she'd be great in the role and I really miss her on network TV.

Dennis Dziadowicz Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 01:09 PM EST

The perfect for John Schneider's upscale trophy wife is Jessalyn Gilsig.
