James Denton

James Denton was the perfect casting for Mike Delfino, the mysterious hunky plumber who turned Wisteria Lane upside down in Desperate Housewives' first season. He brought a quiet, rugged steadiness that played beautifully against the show's heightened soap theatrics, the calm guy in a neighborhood of beautiful chaos. What a lot of viewers don't realize is that he's a genuine musician too, a guitarist who's toured with an actor-led band for charity. His long Good Witch run shows he aged gracefully into warm leading-man roles. I like that he never seemed to take the heartthrob thing too seriously.

James Denton (born January 20, 1963, in Nashville, Tennessee) is an American actor and musician who studied at the University of Tennessee. He is best known for playing plumber Mike Delfino on the ABC comedy-drama series Desperate Housewives. He has continued in television with roles including Dr. Sam Radford on the Hallmark series Good Witch.
