About Dean
(concealed information)
At age seven, while living in Texas, Dean saw the movie "Star Wars" and from that moment on, he began pursuing a dream to be an actor.
In high school, Dean's acting passion and skills twice propelled him to victory in the state theater championships and once in the national theater championships.
After college, Dean moved to Florida where he landed his first paying job as an actor at Universal Studios. In addition to valuable skills learned there, Dean began to build his resume in industrials and television shows.
From Florida, Dean moved to Chicago where he was accepted into the prestigious improvisational school, Second City.
After several regional theater shows in Chicago, Dean moved to Los Angeles in 1997 to continue pursuing his acting career. While plying his trade here, Dean supplemented his income by doing what he does well, working with kids. In 2002, he put together a beloved stunt program for kids called Hollywood Extreme Adventures ( Now partnered with The Atlanta Workshop Players) and, as if the other jobs weren't enough, Dean became the Assistant Director and Producer for the national renowned "American Idol Camp".
Dean is proud of his hard work as an actor, which has paid off with prominent roles on television shows like: "Nashville", "The Goldbergs", "Scorpion", "Castle", " Scandal" and many more. He's also landed roles in big name feature films like "Next" with Nicolas Cage and "Eagle Eye" with Shia LaBeouf. He just wrapped a movie called "Edge of Fear" opposite Robert Patrick.
Of all his accomplishments, Dean takes the greatest pride in being the father of two and husband to his amazing wife, Starr.
I have always had a love for the arts. Theatre and TV has always been a passion of mine. To be able to explore multiple characters and bring an audience into that world, is absolutely priceless. Seeing actors young and old share the same passion and drive, pursuing that ever elusive dream, is inspiring. To capture someones imagination, if even for a brief moment, is an absolute joy.
I started at an overnight summer camp for boys and girls back in 2001. Pali Overnight Adventures in Lake Arrowhead, Ca is an overnight camp designed for every type of camper. Campers get to choose from several specialty's including acting and stunts. I founded both programs for camp and extended those programs in LA as well.
I have been an actor since age 7. I was awarded 40 theatre scholarships for colleges across the country. Attended Bowling Green State University where I was awarded the Eva Maria Saint Scholarship for Film/Theatre. Had the opportunity to train at The Second City and Chicago Improv in Chicago, Illinois. Been working in TV and film since 1996. I have several Guest Star, Recurring and Co-Star credits. Shows such as Scandal, The Goldbergs, NCIS-LA, Scorpion along with such films as Eagle Eye, Next and the Netflix movie, Edge Of Fear.

I find it beneficial to have a long conversation about the students wants and desires in acting and in life. Where are they in their training? What would they like in a teacher? What hobbies do they have that are not arts related? Support of family etc.
I have had the pleasure of working with 100's of students in the past. Many of whom who were not actors but wanted to explore the incredible world of TV/Film.
A student/teacher relationship is like a good marriage. You have to have a connection. There must be a level of like and trust for both the teacher and student. Always ask questions and make sure you vet your teacher. Most importantly, will you have fun while learning?
Both of my kids just recieved A honor roll honors. I could not be more proud.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What do I need to do to become a working actor?
Are the classes I am currently taking conducive for my skill set?
When should I start taking film and tv classes?
Should I get an agent?
These are just a few

Perfect! I've had multiple acting coaches and Dean by far is my favorite! He is honest and encouraging. We've covered Improv, monologues, scene study, audition on camera and how the business works. I was able to book my first guest star role on national TV while working with Dean! Best class I’ve been to and I will continue to go!
Perfect! Dean is an honest, encouraging, and experienced instructor with years in the business and great advice for navigating the craft and the biz.
Perfect! I’ve been with Dean’s class for about 3 weeks. He gives constructive feedback, he’s encouraging, and he pushes us into that next level of skill. Also, informs us about the industry, not just the craft.
Perfect! Dean is very cool! Very understanding and helpful. I am getting to learn a lot from him.
Perfect! I look forward to working more with Dean. In our session, he was very honest about the industry, candid about his experiences, and was very encouraging in directing my reads and gave great insight into script reading.

Dean is absolutely incredible and brings real life experience to the mat. He was really wonderful with the different comfort levels in the class, some students were ready to dive right in while others dealt with roadblocks like fear of heights and he handled each individual with care, respect and just the right amount of pushing. Dean is so fun and a wealth of knowledge, I want more time under his guidance because there is still so much to learn!
Dean's professionalism and experience truly shine through every time I have a session. Whether prepping for an audition or doing a deeper character study, his wisdom and guidance have proven invaluable as only someone with his years of experience in Hollywood and beyond can provide. I highly recommend anyone serious about their craft and booking roles let Dean help get you there.
