The 37-year-old actor, known for his roles in "John Tucker Must Die," "Desperate Housewives" and "Dallas," told Fox411 that he first encountered God when he participated in an Alcoholics Anonymous program five years.

"[Faith is] really important to me," Metcalfe told the news outlet. "I really discovered a connection with a higher power and with God, as I understand Him, probably five years ago when I got sober through the 12 steps of Alcoholic [sic] Anonymous."

"A large part of that program is giving [your] will and character over to God... and prayer is also a big part of that program as well. I feel that that really helped me overcome a difficult time in my life and since then has really deepened and enriched my life in a lot of ways," the actor added.
