Biography in a nut shell:
Born in Savannah, Georgia in 1976 on October 19th, Desmond Harrington’s parents decided to move back to The Bronx, NY where he grew up. He attended Catholic schools for twelve years and found trouble in them. After high school he attended Manhattan college for six weeks and finally dropped out. No sense of real direction, Desmond took jobs from anything to a laborer, a cold caller, landscaper and a bartender in which a co worker gave him the name of an acting class. His big break was in The Messenger: Joan of Arc with Milla Jovovich. The rest as they say, is history.
