SAG // AFTRA VIDEOS // RESUME // PHOTOS // CONTACT // IMDB Desira Pesta is a trained theatrical and commercial actor with constant comparisons to Zooey Deschanel (& Katy Perry) because of a quirky, youthful demeanor, and edgy style; Kristen Wiig due to her expressive face, off-the-wall humor and quick wit; and with a great athletic ability & tomboy edge, Desira has a great range to work with. Possessing an incredible creative ability, Desira has been able to utilize her expert sewing skills on set, as well as her fine art skills in the "court room". Desira recently played "Ann Marie", an FIT student rivaling Twilight's Ashley Greene's in a fashion competition for the new ABC fashion drama pilot, Americana. Desira actually used her own designs in the show & can proudly say she's probably the only fashion designer in NYC with a SAG card. She can also be seen in Seasons 1 & 3 of HBO's Boardwalk Empire as a 20's era prostitute in Al Capone's Chicago brothel. Desira is a talented improviser and loves challenging character roles whether they are on stage or on the big screen. She's excited for what her acting future holds.
