Slavkin shared that Caleb is a "very masculine guy, smokes cigars, likes the Los Angeles Lakers, collects sports memorabilia, drinks Scotch, likes guys and is not afraid to admit it."

Webster will be filling Doug Savant's shoes as gay on the block. Savant, who played gay social worker Matt Fielding, the first gay character on the show back in 1992, can now be seen in Desperate Housewives as Tom Scavo.
