James Denton Biography

James Denton
  • Birth Place: Nashville, TN
  • Date of Birth / Zodiac Sign: 01/20/1963, Capricorn
  • Profession: Actor
Manly and rugged, this small-screen hunk garnered raves for his Chicago stage work before trying his luck in Hollywood. He made an impression with a recurring part on The Pretender, but every time this Nashville native thought he'd landed a career-making TV role (Philly, Threat Matrix), his hopes were dashed by cancellation. But Desperate Housewives instantly changed his fate. As Teri Hatcher's plumber beau, Denton shot to stardom and was even declared People magazine's "Sexiest Newcomer" — at the tender age of 41. In fact, he became so famous so quickly, he reportedly moved his family to a more secluded home to get away from overzealous fans.
