Dean spent his early years on a farm in Indiana. He lived in Santa Monica, California for a few years as a child, before he was sent back to Indiana to live on his aunt and uncle’s farm.
He spent several years at Winslow farm and was an imaginative kid. He’s said, “Studying cows, pigs, and chickens can help an actor develop his character. There are a lot of things I learned from animals. One was that they couldn’t hiss or boo me.”
