Dean first got the bug for acting at around five years old when his dad
who was a 'Unit driver' on production sets used to take him to work
with him, and knew right there and then that was exactly what he wanted
to do. His parents put his name down for The Anna Scher theater and
five years later he received a place.
Within the first year he was offered a role in the TV show "The Bill"
and from then on, for the next twelve years he played many roles
including parts in movies such as "Snatch" and "Ali-G Indahouse" Most
of his roles came again in "The Bill". He almost received a core role
in a new Mad Max production, which has since been halted for various
reasons.
Dean stopped acting in 2006 in order to obtain a Bachelor of Arts
Degree with Honours. In order to do this he took an access to
performance course at college and between 2007 and 2009, he took a B.A
in Film & T.V Studies at Brunel University, Uxbridge.
