The appeal of Doug Savant's Tom Scavo on Desperate Housewives isn't sophistication, it's the fact that he's just a big, dumb, lovable kid. He's rather roughhouse with his kids than help do the dishes. He'll quit his job on a whim to open his own pizzeria without consulting his family. Sure, he's not perfect, but he's basically a good man trying to do the right thing, even when he has no idea what that is. But when things get rough, Tom Scavo steps up and is willing to do anything to please his wife, up to and including wearing a black thong.
