Desmin Borges is an actor who takes on challenging roles and brings dynamic characters to life. He is perhaps best known for his role as Edgar in five seasons of FX's un-romantic comedy 'You're the Worst.' The twisted series took a modern look at love and happiness through four people who haven't been successful at either.

Desmin can currently be seen in a series regular role in HBO's 'The Time Traveler's Wife', as well as in a season-long recurring arc on the Fox comedy 'Welcome To Flatch.' Other recent credits include Amazon's series 'Utopia' opposite John Cusack, the Netflix dramedy series 'Living with Yourself' as Paul Rudd's nemesis, and the film 'Private Life' opposite Paul Giamatti and Kathryn Hahn. Upcoming work includes a major role opposite Jennifer Lopez in the film 'Shotgun Wedding'.

He first gained recognition for his breakout performance in "The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity", performed at Chicago's Victory Gardens, New York's Second Stage, and the Geffen Playhouse in LA. He has also received the Joseph Jefferson Award and Theatre World Award, and nominations for the Lucille Lortel and Drama League awards.

We chat about why New York is better than LA, food, haters, losing his father at 15 and moving forward, pain, health and happiness and being a "voice to the voiceless".
