James Denton, who famously starred as Mike Delfino in Desperate Housewives, strangely got a kick out of his character's death, ironically breaking several viewers' hearts at the time.

<p style="margin-top: 0px;" > Speaking to People magazine, the actor admitted that getting shot on screen was &quot;a lot of fun&quot; and that the episode is his favorite to date. </p><p>&quot;The one where I got shot,&quot; he said, speaking of the episode he loved from the ABC comedy-drama. &quot;It&apos;s always fun to get chills on camera,&quot; he added. The actor further shared some behind-the-scenes details of when one of the beloved on-screen characters was shot in season 8, episode 16. </p><p>His character Mike, Susan Mayer&apos;s (Teri Hatcher) partner in the series, was killed in a drive-by shooting in front of his fictional home on Wisteria Lane. Denton revealed that filming the scene involved special effects and a tubing rig to emulate blood. </p><nh-chunk-delimit />

In the scene, he pushed her out of the way, took the bullet, and saved her life. </p><nh-chunk-delimit />

<nh-chunk-delimit /><p>Denton recalled filming that scene with co-star Teri Hatcher, calling her performance &quot;brilliant.&quot; He recalled lying on her lap and bleeding out while a big crane shot the sequence from above, as there were no drones at the time. </p><p>&quot;She&apos;s just sobbing uncontrollably. And she did it all day long. And it was so hard for me not to break up and cry because she was so heartbreaking,&quot; he added. The actor admitted that Mike&apos;s survival for so long in the series was shocking, considering the amount of characters that were killed throughout the show&apos;s run. </p><p>&quot;The guys joked the entire run, &apos;Who was gonna get killed,&apos; you know,&quot; he revealed, explaining that the show was known for being &quot;salacious,&quot; but there were fewer sex scenes and a lot more murder. &quot;We killed 56 characters,&quot; he added.</p>
