Desmin Borges has entered the building…
The half-Puerto Rican actor has joined the cast of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building.
Borges is among a roster of recurring cast additions that includes Siena Werber and newcomer Lilian Rebelo.
They join stars/executive producers Steve Martin, who also co-created the critically acclaimed series, Martin Short and Selena Gomez as well as new recurring players Zach Galifianakis, Molly Shannon, Eva Longoria and Eugene Levy and returning Meryl Streep in the upcoming fourth season.
All new characters will be integral to the twists and turns of the investigation into the murder of Sazz Pataki (Jane Lynch), Charles-Haden Savage’s (Martin) stunt double from his years on the series Brazzos and its 2020 revival.
Disney Television Group President Craig Erwich revealed in a recent interview that the Only Murders In the Building trio, Charles, Oliver (Short) and Mabel (Gomez), will kick off the new season with a trip to Los Angeles before returning to The Arconia in their search of Sazz’s killer.
The Season 3 finale saw Loretta (Streep), Oliver and Mabel all contemplating a move to LA.
Produced by 20th Television, Only Murders in the Building, Hulu’s most watched original comedy series, is co-created and co-written by Martin and John Hoffman who also executive produce alongside Short, Gomez, Dan Fogelman and Jess Rosenthal.
Borges is best known for his role as Edgar in five seasons of FX’s comedy You’re the Worst. He can currently be seen opposite Jennifer Lopez in the film Shotgun Wedding, as well as in a series regular role in HBO’s The Time Traveler’s Wife.
His other recent credits include a season-long arc on Fox comedy Welcome To Flatch, Amazon’s Utopia, Netflix dramedy series Living with Yourself and the film Private Life.
He’ll next be seen in the film Hangdog, which premiered at the Provincetown Film Festival.
