Felicity Huffman Julia Wilcox
Saturday, July 12th, 2008One year before Felicity Huffman struck it big as Lynette Scavo on Desperate Housewives, she carved a niche for herself on another comedy hit, though this one has a laugh track: the long-running ’smart’ sitcom Frasier.
On it she played Julia Wilcox, a no-nonsense finance reporter for Frasier’s radio station. Newly arrived to the station she makes enemies quickly, Frasier in particular; and in a moment of heated argument where Frasier suddenly finds himself desiring her, she rebuffs him. This move forces the entire station to attend a seminar on sexual harassment.
Nevertheless Wilcox does warm up to Frasier after he confronts her lover with the fact that he is married without letting Wilcox know. She overhears this and considers him somewhat gallant for it. But her booris attitude persists, and after she snubs the rest of his family Frasier decides to part ways with Wilcox.
Wilcox appears in eight Frasier episodes.
