On December 6, the women of Desperate Housewives will attend a Christmas party.

As previously reported, however, the shindig will be interrupted by a minor incident: a plane crashes down on Wisteria Lane.

We've now learned that Dan Castellaneta will portray the unlucky pilot behind the controls of this vehicle, which is rumored to take the lives of at least one major character.

Castellaneta has appeared on episodes of Greek and Castle.

But he's most responsible for thousands of incredible Homer Simpson quotes, as he voices the bumbling patriarch of TV's funniest family.
