Desmin Borges, born and raised in Chicago—yeah, that Chicago, with the deep-dish and endless winters—has been hustling in the acting world for a minute. If you’re into offbeat comedy, you’ve probably seen his face in "You’re the Worst" back in 2014. He played Edgar, this lovable, awkward, PTSD-ridden vet who somehow made you laugh and cry in the same episode. Not many actors can thread that needle, honestly. Borges has this knack for making even the most side-eyed, uncomfortable moments feel real, like he’s lived a thousand lives before landing on your TV screen. Then there’s "Only Murders in the Building" (yeah, the one with Steve Martin and Selena Gomez) where he pops up, sliding right into the quirky, murder-mystery mayhem. It’s the kind of show where everyone’s a suspect, and Borges fits right in, bringing a fresh flavor to the already loaded cast. Jump to 2023, and he’s in "Hangdog"—not just acting, but producing too. That’s some serious multi-tasking. The guy clearly refuses to be boxed in. He’s not just about the on-screen hustle, either. You can tell he puts himself into every role, whether it’s comedy, drama, or something in between. His range? Kinda wild, honestly. From the Windy City to the streaming world, Borges keeps things unpredictable—in the best way possible. If you haven’t caught one of his shows yet, you’re missing out; dude’s got serious chops and zero interest in playing it safe.
Born to a Puerto Rican dad and a mom with Greek and Italian roots, he’s basically a walking Mediterranean-Latin mashup. You look at his background and it’s like all the best family recipes got thrown together at one table—seriously, imagine those holiday dinners. This mix of cultures? It seeps right into how he carries himself, the way he talks, the stories he tells, even the roles he picks up in movies. There’s this energy about him, sort of fiery but charming, that just feels different from your usual Hollywood types. It’s not just about the way he looks, though, it’s in his attitude, too—like, you can see the pride he’s got in his roots. And honestly, it adds this layer of authenticity and flavor to everything he does on screen, making him stand out in a crowd of actors who sometimes feel a little cookie-cutter.
