From 1998 until 2004, he played the role of Jake Malinak, the blind magazine stand owner, on the American sitcom Becker alongside Ted Danson.
As a film actor he appeared in PCU with Jeremy Piven and Jon Favreau. He also appeared in Swingers with Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau, where he made famous the line "This place is dead anyway." He also had a small part as the character Louis in High Fidelity in 2000.
Désert has lent his voice in the role of "Zip" in Crystal Dynamic's Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend and continue the voice role in Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Underworld.
Désert also appeared in Sarah Silverman's The Great Schlep web advertisement, which encouraged young Jews to drive to Florida and convince their Jewish grandparents to support Barack Obama in the 2008 U.S. presidential election.[1]
Music
Désert has been a vocalist for ska band Hepcat since their founding in 1989. The band is known internationally and has developed a cult status separate and aside from his acting career. They released 4 albums between 1993 and 2000, but have not released any new material since then. They were on hiatus from 2000-2003, but have since resumed playing shows in the Los Angeles area with the occasional tour.
Désert once alluded to the band on Boy Meets World in the episode "I Was a Teenage Spy." Playing a beatnik, he says "I am clearly the hep cat."
