'Housewives' actor cast in 'Law and Order'

Desperate Housewives actor Cody Kasch has landed a part in NBC's Law and Order: SVU.

According to TV Guide Online, he will play a white supremacist who recruits teenagers for his cause.

In May, the 17-year-old was arrested when he was caught smoking marijuana.

Last month, however, he avoided drug charges after promising to be on his best behaviour for a year.
