James Denton
Character: Mike Delfino
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.
He soon was accepted as one of Chicago's brightest stars. After earning a key casting when the Untouchables series came to town to film, Denton was drawn to Los Angeles, where his strong theatre reputation had preceded him, and he was locked in with choice turns in film, on TV and on the stage.
