Brad in Orange Is the New Black, William Henke as Desmond Piscatella.

Despite doing several seasons over the years, Brad William Henke has come to prominence as Desmond Piscatella on the Netflix comedy series Orange Is the New Black. Desmond was a bad character who appeared on the show from seasons four to six. Although only playing a small role, the presence of this character has contributed significantly to the plot of the film. He enjoys being a commander and is always proud of his position in front of the detainees. Despite this, he was not very successful in his job as he was abused by the crew, which jeopardized the safety of the convicts. On the other hand, Desmond does everything to avoid punishment and tortures the detainees in order to instill fear in others so that they do not refuse his orders.

Things took a turn for the worse when Desmond fell into a psychotic state and began kidnapping and torturing the detainees. Although he did experience a change of heart towards the end of the series, he was unable to live the life of a decent man when he was killed by a CERT officer. Orange Is the New Black aired for seven seasons and 91 episodes from July 11, 2013 to July 26, 2019. It was well received by critics and audiences alike.
