'Desperate' measure taken vs. 'Wives' actor

Page Kennedy, who plays Caleb, a fugitive from the law on "Desperate Housewives," was fired for improper conduct, a spokeswoman said.

Kennedy was let go Friday after a "thorough investigation by the studio" of the allegations against him, spokeswoman Janet Daily said.

Details of the allegations were unavailable, Daily said. A call to Kennedy's agent wasn't immediately returned yesterday.

The alleged misconduct didn't involve another cast member, a source said.

Kennedy was seen only briefly as he was being held captive in the basement of Wisteria Lane newcomer Betty Applewhite (Alfre Woodard). The role of Caleb is being recast, Daily said. Kennedy's final appearance on the ABC series is Sunday.
