Eric Deskin

Eric Deskin is a NYC and LA based actor and comedian. TV credits include frequent appearances in sketches on Jimmy Kimmel Live! as well as episodes of "Criminal Minds" and "Elementary" on CBS, "Shonda Rhimes' "For The People" on ABC and Netflix's "Grace & Frankie". Feature film credits include "The Longest Week" opposite Jason Bateman and "Excuse Me for Living" opposite Wayne Knight. He has also appeared in many national and regional commercials and print campaigns including those for Nexium, Apple, Cablevision, British Airways and Post Cereal. As a comic, he appears at comedy clubs, theaters and other venues around Los Angeles and is a regular at the Flappers Comedy Club in Burbank, CA. His comedy has been described by BackStage Magazine as "edgy, observant and funny . . . the sort of brainy observations you wish you'd thought of . . . ." He is also the co-writer, co-star and co-producer along with Cat Adell of The Cat & Eric Show, which produces online comedic sketches that have received tens of millions of views. A New York native, Eric is a former corporate attorney having "practiced" at one of New York's oldest and most venerated, and now defunct, white-shoe law firms. Though that firm's demise was not really his fault, ask him for legal advice at your own peril. A hockey fanatic, he once dreamed of playing in the NHL, but realized his lack of size and skill might be a hindrance. Nonetheless, he still enjoys mixing it up on the ice regularly with beer league team The Pasadena Outlaws. He once scored a goal on a one-timer off a pass from Academy Award winning actor Tim Robbins.
