Dean Winters

Dean Winters is the kind of character actor I deeply appreciate. Most people know him as Allstate's chaos-incarnate 'Mayhem,' a genuinely inspired bit of comic menace, but his real range runs from Ryan O'Reily on Oz to a turn in John Wick, with stops at 30 Rock and Sex and the City. He doesn't headline; he sharpens whatever scene he's in. There's a particular skill in being memorable in supporting roles without ever stealing the whole film, and Winters has it. I value actors who make everyone around them better, and his weathered, slightly dangerous presence does exactly that.
