James Denton Biography
James Denton most recently finished Executive Producing and starring in the movie, "A Kiss Before Christmas," which reunited him with his "Desperate Housewives" co-star, Teri Hatcher, which was one of Hallmark’s highest rated Christmas movies of 2021.
Prior to that, Denton recently finished his run as Dr. Sam Radford on the top-rated Hallmark show, "The Good Witch," which he starred alongside with Catherine Bell, which ran from 2015-2021. In the summer of 2016, Denton Executive Produced and starred in Hallmark’s movie, "For Love & Honor," costarring alongside his real-life son, Sheppard Denton. The pairing was a remarkable success, easily winning the evening in household ratings for the cabler. 2016 also brought about a drama reunion for Denton, reuniting him with his other former "Desperate Housewives" co-star, Eva Longoria, as well as series creator, Marc Cherry, on Cherry’s new series, "Devious Maids," for Lifetime Television.
As one of the stars of the Golden Globe and SAG Award-winning, "Desperate Housewives" 2004-2012, Denton played the plumber, Mike Delfino who was Teri Hatcher’s love interest.
Prior to joining "Desperate Housewives," Denton was building a steady feature film career with performances in such Hollywood hits as, "That Old Feeling" directed by Carl Reiner, "Face Off" directed by John Woo, and "Primary Colors" directed by Oscar-winner, Mike Nichols. In 1997 Denton landed the role of the eerily sociopathic Mr. Lyle on NBC's hit drama, "The Pretender."
In 2001 Denton was cast by ABC to star opposite Kim Delaney in Steven Bochco’s series, "Philly," which was critically acclaimed however short-lived. But Denton's growing reputation quickly led to a new series casting him as Special Agent Jon Kilmer on "Threat Matrix." In addition to his series starring roles on TV, his guest appearances include "NCIS: New Orleans," "Reba," "Jag," "Sliders," "Dark Skies," "Two Guys and A Girl," "Ally McBeal," and "The West Wing." His past run of feature films includes "Selfie Dad," "Wake," "Grace Unplugged," "Stranded In Paradise," and Henry Jaglom’s "Ovation."
Acting obviously is serious work for the handsome and athletic star. He got his start on the stage in Chicago, his first role there was as Stanley Kowalski in "A Streetcar Named Desire," and his last was the terrorist in the French farce, "Lapin, Lapin." He was a company member of the Griffin Theatre and at the Strawdog Theatre Ensemble. He added a steady string of roles and accolades to his quickly growing list, including one of the leads in the world premiere of "Flesh and Blood," performing in and composing the music for "The Night Hank Williams Died," and his portrayal of Kentucky preacher C.C. Showers in "The Diviners," which gained him a coveted Joseph Jefferson Best Actor nomination. For these performances, Denton was listed as one of Chicago's hottest actors by Screen Magazine. In Los Angeles, he appeared in the premieres of "Asylum" at the Court Theatre, "Locked Up Down Shorty's" at the Powerhouse Theatre, and "In Walked Monk" at the Hudson Theatre.
Denton has devoted a large portion of his time to the “Band from TV,” which was formed when Greg Grunberg (Heroes), Hugh Laurie (House) and Bob Guiney (The Bachelor) decided to band their musical interests together to raise money for charity. The Band, which also included Jesse Spencer (House), Scott Grimes (ER) and Adrian Pasdar (Heroes) played several shows around the country every year to raise money for charity and since their inception, have raised almost two million dollars for various causes supported by the band.
Denton is a Nashville native, who originally attended college on a basketball scholarship. He wasn't bitten by the acting bug until he was 28, after he landed the role of ‘George Gibbs’ in a Nashville production of "Our Town.” Denton thought there was a more solid career in selling advertising, so he started an ad career in Tennessee, and then in North Carolina., before taking off for Chicago to risk everything to become a professional actor
