Dean Winters was born on July 20, 1964 in New York City. He has three younger siblings: Scott (an actor), Bradford (a poet/writer), and youngest sister, Blair (who runs a pediatric AIDS unit in a Manhattan hospital). He grew up on Long Island and spent his teenage years in Scottsdale, AZ where his father had been transferred for his job. The Winters family eventually moved back to NYC, while Dean was attending Colorado College. He graduated with honors from college. After graduating from college, Dean spent time in Europe (where he did some modeling on the side), Asia, and on the West Coast.More At age 27, he moved back to New York City and bartended at various bars and clubs all over the city with his brother Scott. Scott persuaded Dean to attend acting school in order to do something with his life. Dean enjoyed acting almost immediately. It was through one of their 17 bartending gigs that they met Tom Fontana (creator of Oz) and befriended him. He eventually offered them work. Dean's previous roles then led Tom Fontana to offering him the role of cunning Ryan O'Reily on the popular HBO series "Oz."

    I have missed Dean! I have tried to find movies and shows that he has starred in however, I am not having much luck. hide show

    I have only seen Dean in one show, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and one movie, Undercover Angel. I tried watching Oz, but after the first couple episodes it was something I could definately live without.

    I have was just scrolling down his page when I saw that Dean will be playing in the new television show, Terminator.

    I am so excited! I have seen several commercials advertising the new show, Terminator, and I have said that I like to see that. I really enjoyed the movies, I, II, and III. Hopefully, the show can measure up. However, Dean starring in the show is just an additional perk. I can not wait to see him in action again!

    Dean is FINE hide show

    Dean is the most incredibly hottest actor. He is a completely underrated star and used to be in one of the greatest television series "OZ" . He has been in some pretty random movies but only small parts, apart from "Undercover Angel". Hmm what else can I say about him? Oh yeah his other brothers are quite famous too. Scott used to play "Cyril" on Oz and Bradford wrote many episodes on Oz. Blair , is Deans' sister but she isn't an actress, she works with AIDS pateints which is outstanding.

    They are ALL talented and should be credited MUCH more than they are.

    I am literally Deans' NO.1 physcotic obsessed fan.

    I LOVE YOU DEAN!!
