James Denton Bio: Early Life, Mother Cancer, and Education

James is the middle child of three born to J.T. Denton, who was a dentist and his wife Mary Jean Woolslair, who sadly passed away in 2002 after losing her battle with breast cancer. During his childhood, James was inclined to Southern Baptism, and as a result was a Minister of Music at Westmoreland United Methodist Church, located in Westmoreland, Tennessee. However, he grew up in Goodlettsville, where he matriculated from Goodlettsville High School, after which he enrolled at the University of Tennessee, initially majoring in television/journalism, but it was in advertising that he earned his degree, subsequently working for a couple of radio stations selling advertisements, before setting his mind on becoming an actor.

Career Beginnings

James started his acting career in a small theater in Nashville, but after a few appearances moved to California as he wanted to become a full-time actor. His first on-screen role was in the film “Thieves Quarter” in 1993, and he continued with the part of Nick in another film – “Hunter’s Moon”. It was in 1997 that he felt the first real rays of success when he was chosen for the part of Mr. Lyle in the Primetime Emmy Award-nominated series “The Pretender”, and through 2000 featured in 36 episodes of the highly acclaimed series. Denton ended the ’90s with roles in John Woo’s Oscar-nominated “Face-Off” (1997) starring John Travolta and Nicolas Cage, and in Mike Nichols’ Oscar-nominated “Primary Colors” (1998) with John Travolta, Emma Thompson, and Kathy Bates. He continued with supporting roles in several films and TV series, including in “The Pretender: Island of the Haunted” (2001), and “Philly” (2001-2002), but that was enough for him to secure a role in the highly successful TV drama series “Desperate Housewives”.
