Larry HagmanNostalgic TV fans, look no further than ‘Desperate Housewives’ to satisfy the urge to see veteran actors ham it up. The latest addition to the ABC soap? Larry Hagman.

The ‘Dallas’ star, who was last seen on U.S. airwaves in ‘Nip/Tuck’ back in 2006, will play the new beau of Polly Bergen’s character, Stella Wingfield.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Hagman will appear in early 2011. Hagman said he’s never seen the series. “I can watch a hundred episodes on my iPad,” he told the Hollywood Reporter. “I never watch television, so I better get started so I can see what the show’s all about.”
