Alex Désert (born July 18, 1968) is a Haitian American actor who has appeared
in TV series The Flash, Becker, Boy Meets World and the short-lived FOX series
The Heights (called "Love and Rock" in France). His first strong television
presence was on a controversial CBS program entitled TV 101 where he
co-starred with friend Matt LeBlanc.

From 1998 until 2004, he played the role of Jake Malinak, the blind magazine
stand owner on the American sitcom Becker alongside Ted Danson. So well
did he play the role of a blind man that many mistake him for actually being
blind.[citation needed]

As a film actor he has appeared in Swingers, co-starring with Vince Vaughn
and Jon Favreau, as well as in PCU with Jeremy Piven and Jon Favreau.
He is a founding member and lead singer of the well
known Los Angeles ska band Hepcat.

This ska band is known internationally and has
developed a cult status separate and aside from his
acting career. Désert alludes to the band in his role
on Boy Meets World in the episode "I Was a Teenage
Spy." He says, playing a beatnik, "Clearly, I am the
hep cat."


Alex Désert has lent his voice in the role of "Zip" in
Crystal Dynamic's Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend.
