Meet James Denton as Mike Delfino on Desperate Housewives
James Denton on Desperate Housewives
ABC
Nashville native James Denton has been one of
Hollywood's busiest actors since he hit town with a training
background that has launched many performers into stardom -- a
solid body of respected work in the Chicago theatre.
Denton, who originally attended college on a
basketball scholarship, wasn't bitten by the acting bug until he
was 20. He landed the role of George Gibbs in a Nashville
production of "Our Town," got fine reviews, but thought there
was a more solid career in selling advertising. He did that in
Tennessee and then in North Carolina for four years, before
taking off for Chicago to risk everything to become a
professional actor.
In addition to his series-starring roles on
TV, his guest appearances include "JAG," "Slider," "Dark Skies,"
"Two Guys and a Girl," "Ally McBeal" and "The West Wing."
