Det. Quinn is a former narcotics detective

Quotes:
Quinn: You’re brother’s kind of a dweeb, huh?
Deb: You say anything more about my brother and I will kick your ****ing nuts down your throat.
Quinn: That’s doesn’t even make any sense.

Desmond Harrington
Was born in Savannah, Georgia, but when he was 3-years old, his parents decided to move back to their birth place, The Bronx, New York. Growing up in the Bronx, Desmond attended Catholic schools for 12 years St. Margaret's of Cortona for elementary school and Fordham Prep for high school. Desmond found trouble in and out of school throughout his formative years. After high school, Desmond attended Manhattan college for 6 weeks before dropping out. With no real sense of direction, he took jobs as a laborer, landscaper, a cold caller at a brokerage firm, and finally a bartender in Manhattan, where a co-worker invited him to attend an acting class. Over the years, Desmond has appeared in dramas and comedies alike, and has always delivered the goods.

Filmography:
Dexter (2008 - 2009)
Gossip Girl (2009)
Sons & Daughters (2006 - 2007)
Law & Order: Criminal Intent (2006)
Ghost Ship (2002)

You have to love to hate him

But damn .. he is hot

Yay, someone finally started a Desmon/Quinn thread.

Could I be added, please?

And yes, I can't help but like him.

But not cool what he did last ep, taking that money.

Although...I wonder if there's something else to it than just what's on the surface.

Thanks for the thread..... He just doesn't look like a 'Desmond'

Didn't know he was born in the South either!

Adding you Anji

And yeah, I wonder whats going to happen with him taking the money

Not a cool thing to do at all.

Add me! I thought he was pretty hot last season even if I'm confused about him now.

Damn him for being so hot!

tofillupthedays · 10-07-2009, 10:31 PM

I love his accent.

ride the lightning · 10-08-2009, 03:11 PM

What kind of accent is it?

Karma Police · 10-08-2009, 03:16 PM

I had a huge crash on Desmond 8 years ago.

I liked Quinn last season, more towards the end because in the beginning he behaved a bit jerky. I'm a bit confused about him now because in both new episodes he behaved like an ass.

ride the lightning · 10-08-2009, 03:19 PM

I want to see more of his story .. although I have already judged him

Karma Police · 10-08-2009, 03:24 PM

Me too, me too.

I have a bad feeling, that Quinn will turn out to be a bad guy this season...don't ask me why though.

ride the lightning · 10-08-2009, 03:27 PM

Oooooh, I haven't thought like that. I keep trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, but then again he was dodgy last season and he is this season too ..

I'm just wondering if anybody is going to find out about the money because it seems like Dexter saw him but he didn't you know?

I think a New York one.

No, he saw him but Dexter has too many problems right now to go tattle on Quinn.

Anyone know what he's doing in Gossip Girl?

Karma Police · 10-09-2009, 12:51 AM

The money thing will come out sooner or later. It's just a matter of time.

As for GG. He played Chuck's uncle but he was only in 2 or 3 episodes and his character was pretty much a jerk.
