Denton beat 200 or so actors to the role of Vicomte de Valmont in the television production of Dangerous Liaisons after passing a number of auditions and screen tests beginning in early 2020. The process was not straight forward, Denton's sister had to read parts with him during quarantine and COVID-19 lockdown which, given the nature of the scenes between Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont, he described to the New York Times as "Disgusting. Bless her soul". Also, he an Englert had to do scenes together in different hotel rooms over Zoom and didn't meet in person until on set in Prague in 2021.
