After seeing the musical Annie in her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, three year-old Desi Lydic began reciting every line, singing every note, and even sporting a red curly wig. Destined to become an actress, or suffer from multiple personality disorder, she chose acting and soon attended summer programs at the Young Actors Institute at The Youth Performing Arts School. Small roles in theater and commercials within the region soon followed. Her first paid gig was a Kroger commercial and after testing for a pilot in Nashville, TN, she headed out west in hopes of greater opportunities.

Since coming to Los Angeles, Desi has made a splash on the Improv comedy scene. She has studied and performed at famed schools “The Groundlings” and “Improv Olympic” . Desi recently starred with William Shatner in the Improv based show Invasion Iowa, an unscripted satire of a Hollywood film descending upon an unsuspecting town. She has had memorable guest appearances on shows such as CSI NY, What I Like About You, and Complete Savages. In addition to Out At The Wedding, Desi can be seen on the upcoming WB show Pepper Dennis with Rebecca Romijn and Brooke Burns, as well as in the independent films Screw Cupid, Stand Up and playing duel lead roles in Big Heart City with Seymour Cassell, Shawn Andrews, and EP Matthew Harrison.
