Suplee of 'Earl' expecting fourth child

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Actor Ethan Suplee, one of the stars of the hit U.S. series "My Name is Earl," is expecting his fourth child with his wife, Brandy Lewis.

The 30-year-old actor, who plays Randy Hickey on the NBC comedy, and his wife will welcome a fourth daughter into their family in April, and their second together as a couple, People magazine reported.

Suplee and Lewis, who is actress Juliette Lewis' sister, had a daughter, Francis Clementine Suplee, last year and already counted two daughters from Lewis' previous marriage among their children.

The birth will mark the second for the "Earl" cast after actress Jamie Pressly recently revealed that she is four months pregnant with a baby boy.

The "Earl" star, who married Lewis in an intimate ceremony this summer, said that his attempts to try for a son fell short and his female-dominated household will ultimately gain another member, People said.

"It was just me trying and trying for a boy to balance out the voting system," Suplee joked with People. "I don't think it's going to happen."
