Carlos D., is an American actor, musician, writer, and filmmaker,
known as the former bass guitarist for American rock band Interpol.
After departing the band in 2010, he began pursuing an acting
career.Dengler was born on April 23, 1974, in Queens, New York, to a
Colombian mother and a German father. He and his family lived there
until his early teens, after which they relocated to Lawrenceville,
New Jersey. Speaking to Spin magazine in 2005, Dengler described this
move and the subsequent period as formative.While attending New York
University (NYU) in 1997, he was approached by the guitarist Daniel
Kessler after a class the two had enrolled in. Kessler had been
looking for musicians to play with and assumed Dengler to be one based
on the clothes he wore, a style Kessler described as "similar to the
way he's dressed now". He was studying philosophy and history at the
time and wanted to pursue a career as an academic but agreed to play
with the then unformed band, eventually finding his place within the
group.
