Action!'īut Sheppard doesn't want to act full-time?ĭenton: He's at the University of the South getting a psychology degree. another scene, he was having trouble really letting me have it because I'm his dad. I wanted to be able to say, 'When did you get better than your old man?' because I've said it 100 times at home. There's a scene where I walk in and he's playing the guitar. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I wish more actors got to have because being across from him in front of a camera, there's nothing like it.Īre there any scenes that come specifically from your life together?ĭenton: We added a couple of scenes just because of the conversations he and I had at home. We didn't talk much shop we just had a lot of fun, eating junk food and just hanging out.

We would talk a little bit of movie at home, a little bit of scenes, but basically, we left that to the director. It was one of the best times of my life easily. We wrote the role for him.ĭenton: We had a ball. I owe Hallmark a lot for letting me cast him sight unseen. It's wasted that he's not doing it for a living. How did that come about?ĭenton: We wrote my son into this because I just think he's a brilliant actor. There are few examples where I would say, 'I know there's a better take of this.' That's really rewarding after all these years of being at the mercy of other editors.Īnd your son gets to play your son in the movie. It's very creatively rewarding and fulfilling not just the pre-production but in the post. So I have some time to do things other than act. I'm slowing down a little bit on purpose. It's sort of perfect for my stage of life because I'm not chasing work like I used to. James Denton: This is the first one where I had my hands in everything.

TV Guide talked to Denton about working with his son, singing in the movie and what's next for him. Jon and I trying to come up with something that hadn't been done." "My co-producer Jonathan Eskenas came to me and said, 'I know you play guitar, why don't we do something that's music centered?' That was the germ of the idea. "I love this movie," Denton recently told TV Guide.
Perfect Harmony features two original songs performed by Denton and Saum, who also duet on "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and "Total Eclipse of the Heart." In 2015, he starred in For Love and Honor (which also featured Sheppard), and last November he reunited with his Desperate Housewives co-star Teri Hatcher for A Kiss Before Christmas. This marks the third Hallmark movie for Denton. Their potential romance is helped along by Jack's son Teddy (played by Denton's real-life son Sheppard Denton), who also happens to be Barrett's student. But beneath his seemingly nonchalant exterior, Jack is still dealing with the pain of losing his wife to cancer while Barrett is afraid to let her guard down and publish her original poetry. The only problem? The wedding's Maid of Honor is Barrett Woodward ( Sherri Saum), a poetry professor who clashes with Jack's laidback attitude towards life. Now Jack's best friend Simon ( Peter Benson) is getting married and wants Jack to be his Best Man. In the movie, Denton stars as Jack Chandeller, a former popstar who had one big hit, the nonsensical sounding "Ooh Wee Ooh," more than ten years ago. The actor, who ended his seven-season run on Hallmark's Good Witch in 2021, headlines Hallmark Movies & Mysteries' Perfect Harmony. James Denton and Hallmark are making music together.
