| Meet James Denton as Mike Delfino on Desperate Housewives
 
					
					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. 
						James Denton on Desperate Housewives 
						ABC 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."
