Julie Benz to Guest Star on Royal Pains

Who could have guessed that portraying a lesbian stripper on Desperate Housewives would have prepared Julie Benz for another guest-starring spot?

As first reported by TV Guide, the actress will appear on an August installment of Royal Pains, playing a gay farmer with a wife named Anna.

Look for the former Dexter and No Ordinary Family actress to come on board as Elyse, a woman who is the victim of a dangerous accident. Naturally, Hank will be called in to assist.

Royal Pains returns with new episodes on June 29.
