Nashville native James Denton can be seen as sexy plumber Mike Delfino on ABC's "Desperate Housewives." Along with the rest of the cast, Denton was honored with the 2006 and 2005 SAG Award for Best Ensemble in a Comedy. He has just completed filming the feature films "Wanted: Undead or Alive" with "Saturday Night Live" alum Chris Kattan and "Tortured" with Laurence Fishburne.

Kimberly Williams-Paisley can be seen as Dana on ABC's hit comedy "According to Jim," opposite Jim Belushi and Courtney-Thorne Smith. She lit up the screen with her film debut as the radiant young bride in the comedy features "Father of the Bride" and "Father of the Bride II." Williams-Paisley was recently seen in "We are Marshall," co-starring opposite Matthew McConaughey, "How to Eat Fried Worms" with Tom Cavanagh, and in the coming-of-age comedy "Eden Court." She has also been establishing her creativity outside the performing arena, beginning with accomplishments as a published writer for such publications as In Style and Redbook magazines, and she also directed episodes of "According to Jim" last season. She recently wrote, directed and starred in -- with Patrick Dempsey -- the short film "Shade," for which she won the Director's Choice: Outstanding Directing and Acting in a Short Award at the Sedona International Film Festival. She will be rooting for husband Brad Paisley, who has five nominations, bringing his career total to a record-breaking 38 nominations.

Kate Walsh stars in ABC's "Private Practice" as Addison Montgomery Shepherd, the role she portrayed for two seasons on the ABC series "Grey's Anatomy."

She also had series regular roles on "The Mike O'Malley Show," "Mind of a Married Man" and "The Drew Carey Show." Born in San Jose, California and raised both there and in Tucson, Arizona, Walsh began her career in Chicago, studying at the renowned Piven Theatre Workshop. She's also starred in theatrical productions of the critically acclaimed "Born Guilty," "Moon Under Miami" and "Troilus and Cressida" at the Shakespeare Repertory.

Little Big Town has received four career CMA Award nominations for the Horizon Award (2006, 2007) and Vocal Group of the Year (2006, 2007).
