"DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES" STAR JAMES DENTON SWAPS WISTERIA LANE FOR HOUSTON, TEXAS IN A GUEST-STARRING ROLE ON THE WB'S "REBA"

Featured as one of People Magazine's Sexiest Men Alive, "Desperate Housewives'" super-hot star James Denton wrapped production this week on an episode of The WB's hit comedy "Reba." Starring singing legend Reba McEntire, "Reba" airs Fridays (9:00-9:30 p.m. ET). Denton's episode is slated to air during February Sweeps.

Denton plays the role of Dr. Morgan, Brock (Christopher Rich) and Barbra Jean's (Melissa Peterman) handsome new marriage counselor. In the episode, Barbra Jean confesses to Reba (Reba McEntire) that she has developed a serious crush on Dr. Morgan and enlists her help in firing him. However, Reba is put in an awkward situation when she finds herself attracted to the doctor and agrees to go on a date with him, knowing that it will most likely devastate Barbra Jean.

A Nashville native, Denton's television credits include starring roles in "The Pretender," "Philly," "Threat Matrix" and this season's hit freshman drama "Desperate Housewives." He has also guest starred on "JAG," "Slider," "Dark Skies," "Two Guys and a Girl," "Ally McBeal" and "The West Wing."

His feature film credits are "Primary Colors," "Face/Off" and "That Old Feeling."

"Reba" was created by Allison M. Gibson ("Home Improvement," "Boy Meets World"). Kevin Abbott ("Roseanne") serves as executive producer with Mindy Schultheis and Michael Hanel ("Titus") and Matt Berry for Twentieth Century Fox Television.
