With the premiere of Dexter, Season 8, right around the corner comes a new opportunity to tune in to Desmond Harrington on a regular basis. To get you primed, we've elaborated on why he's our favorite twisted hottie...
We can't decide if it's the chiseled jaw, the perfect smile or the conflicted characters that Desmond crafts so well that makes our hearts beat a bit faster.
Born: Oct. 19, 1976
Hometown: Savannah, Georgia
Height: 5' 10”
Dashing Desmond was born in Savannah, but moved to Bronx, New York, with his parents when he was only 3 years old. During his high school years, he was described as being in and out of trouble, conceited and hyper. The hunk who would one day become Gossip Girl's Jack Bass didn't fare much better in college. After going to Manhattan College for six weeks, the actor was cordially uninvited from coming back. (No details on what dastardly deed got him expelled from school.)
Harrington jumped in on acting classes and paid for them by bartending, landscaping and cold-calling for a brokerage firm. How thankful are we that he finally figured out a way to harness all that energy into acting?
On the set of Love Object, it's been rumored that Harrington, who did most of his own stunts, accidentally knocked over co-star Melissa Sagemiller more than once. He also accidentally hit another actor with a prop, and that actor refused to do scenes with Desmond and power tools in the same room. Harrington brushed off the rumors, telling desmondharrington.net in an interview that the only on-set accidents involved the creepy doll getting dropped several times, “which wasn't good because it cost $10,000.”
In Wrong Turn, Harrington addressed the on-set mishaps by saying, “I didn't break my ankle but twisted it to the point where it turned different colors and was very hard to walk on let alone run, which we did a lot of in the movie. I believe Eliza (his co-star) got poison ivy, I luckily did not.” Aww. Isn't there something sort of endearing about a clumsy hottie? We're here to kiss it and make it all better, right ladies?
Desmond is back on Showtime's smash hit Dexter as Detective Joey Quinn. Set your DVRs ladies?— Dexter premiered June 30 and you won't want to miss a minute of the twisted dynamic between Quinn and the serial-killer-with-a-cause, Dexter. When TMZ asked Harrington for spoilers from the upcoming season, he said, “I'm the last person. I ain't even that high up in the cast. So I'm the last person you want to ask.” How adorably humble!
In one of Hollywood's most vexing “are they or aren't they” dating statuses, Desmond Harrington and gal-pal Amanda Seyfried are keeping us guessing. The two were first reported dating in July 2012, and cozy pictures of them holding hands were published well into October. In the January issue of InStyle magazine, Les Mis star Amanda cryptically said, “I'm just more attracted to actors. I like their choice to be artists?— that's ballsy. And a guy who has such access to his emotional life is sexy. Or maybe because lots of the actors I know are so broken. I don't think I'm compatible with anybody I've dated. Maybe I'm so attracted to actors because I'm not ready for the ‘settled down' thing yet.” While no new updates about the couple have surfaced recently, neither has word of a breakup. What does that mean for us? If he's looking to settle down, he may be on his way out with Amanda.
