On "Desperate Housewives," James Denton played Mike Delfino, a private investigator undercover on Wisteria Lane as a plumber. He was accused of murder, arrested, put in a coma, suffered from amnesia, got married to Susan, was involved in a car crash, and more. (What a show!) He was once called "the hottest man on TV," and years after the show ended he told Australian talk show "The Morning Show" (via The Independent) that it made him uncomfortable. "I spent most of my career playing bad guys until 'Housewives,'" he reflected. "I had never been hunky. I was happy to be there, don't get me wrong, but it was uncomfortable. It follows me forever, that shirtless shot in the front yard."
After "Desperate Housewives" ended, Denton spent 75 episodes on Hallmark's hit show "Good Witch." His character is a doctor, which he poked fun at during an appearance on "Today." "Luckily, I moved up from being a plumber to a doctor, so I got an extra degree," he joked. "But, it's just great being on Hallmark. We have the best time on the show."
He reunited with his "Desperate Housewives" love interest Teri Hatcher in "A Kiss Before Christmas," which he also produced. He told Entertainment Weekly that, sharing a bedroom scene with Hatcher, it was tough not to slip back into Mike Delfino. "I felt like I went right back to that quiet, reserved, stoic plumber guy with her," he said.
