James Denton

American actor James Denton won the hearts of millions of VIEWERS thanks to the TV series "Desperate Housewives". In addition to participation in the cult soap opera of the 2000s, the artist has almost a hundred roles in feature films and multi-series films, where he plays mostly brutal characters.

James was born on January 20, 1963, in Nashville, Tennessee. In the family of James and Mary Jean Denton, he became the second child of three. The Dentons were religious and belonged to the Southern Baptist Church, where their children also went. The future actor was engaged in music at the Westmoreland United Methodist Church. His father worked as a dentist in the army unit and played in the amateur theater on a public basis.

The boy did not think to follow his father's example: he spent his free time not on stage, but on the basketball court of Goodlettsville High School. At college, Denton also chose to master a profession far from acting - he studied at the University of Tennessee as a television advertising specialist. Having received a diploma with honors, the guy even managed to work in the chosen field and sell advertising for two radio stations.

At the age of 23, the young man first tried himself on stage. Performing at the 200th Anniversary of The City of Tennessee at the Nashville Public Theater, James soon felt that the game was becoming his real calling. He began as George Gibbs in our production of Our City and then continued his theatrical career in North Carolina and Chicago. Determined to radically change his biography, Denton moved to California to try to break into the TV screens.

Nashville, where James lived as a young man, is a recognized mecca of country music. Unsurprisingly, there were many talented young singers in the youth party, including the future actor and found love. It was country singer Dina Carter, whom Denton met in the early 1980s.

The American's first wife was actress Jenna Leanne Ward, who was married to a man from 1997 to 2000. And he found happiness in his personal life with personal fitness trainer Erin O'Brien, whom he married on December 16, 2002. The couple had two children, son Shepard (2003) and daughter Malin (2005).

Until 2012, the family lived in California because of James' intense filming schedule in Desperate Housewives. After the project ended, the Dentons moved to southwest Minnesota, in the small town of Shanghaisen, where the actor's wife is born. Her large family settled here, and the star's children grew up with their grandparents and numerous cousins.

As a Capricorn on the sign of the zodiac, James has passion, determination and taste for life. In addition to the profession, the man finds other ways to realize creative and personal ambitions. One of the areas was music, which Denton began to engage in in his youth.

Another James hobby is baseball. The American is not only an ardent fan of the sport, but also co-owner of the independent baseball team Orange County Flyers, which stands for UCLA. The actor tries to be not just an investor, but also to make key decisions, attending training sessions, home matches and selecting players, as far as time allows him.

Denton's filmography began in the 1990s with minor roles in films and TV series, including "Without a Face," "Sliding" and "Basic Colors." The first significant hero was the sociopath Mr. Lyle in the detective thriller "The Pretender", where James appeared for 36 episodes. In 2003, he became the lead character in the "Threat of the Matrix" project, where he played special agent John Kilmer, but due to low ratings the show was quickly shut down.

The actor played in the theater and starred in TV projects, waiting for the role of his dreams. It was a charming plumber Mike Delfino in the series "Desperate Housewives", which provided the man with a job for 8 years. After showing the first episodes, which were marked by high-ranking ratings, People magazine included Denton in the list of the sexiest men alive.

From 2004 to 2012, in the company of Teri Hatcher, Ricardo Chavira, Sean Pyfrom and Doug Savant, the American starred in a detective melodrama, which took three Golden Globes and received cult status. This work gave the artist the love of fans, the Teen Choice Award, and hardly any other role can bring him comparable fame. When James was offered to star in a similar style project "Insidious Maids", he could not resist and appeared in the series in seven episodes.

James now continues to replenish filmography, starring in movies and TV series. The latter included the family magic comedy "The Good Witch" produced by Hallmark, where Denton starred for six seasons, finishing the project in 2019.

In 2020, news about the actor is traditionally extracted through social networks, but, to the disappointment of fans, "Instagram" artist does not lead, and therefore his fresh photos have to be searched on third-party resources. Judging by the pictures, the man is still in great shape. At the height of 185 cm, he has no hint of excess weight, and therefore good in a strict suit, and in the form of a simple guy, a worker, who remembered since the days of "Desperate Housewives."
