'Desperate' Actor in Motorcycle Crash

LOS ANGELES, October 15 -- U.S. television actor Gale Harold was seriously injured in a motorcycle crash, TMZ reported Wednesday.

TMZ said he is in the Intensive Care Unit of Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center following Tuesday's crash.

A hospital rep stated he was in "critical condition".

Harold's rep issued a statement saying his shoulder was fractured and he's in "stable condition," despite what the hospital rep said. And the slightly ominous words from his rep -- "Everyone is hopeful for a full recovery."

Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry says Harold has swelling of the brain but is expected to recover. No future details on his condition was released to the media.

Harold is best known for playing Teri Hatcher's character's current boyfriend (Jackson) on Desperate Housewives, as well as Brian on Queer as Folk.

We wish Gale a speedy recovery.
