In a weird way after learning of his death I went to watch YouTube but pressed play on my DVD instead. What was on, an episode of the A-Team he did.
RIP Dean, you will be remembered and missed

Started as a child actor for MGM and went on from there. I been looking over all the stuff he was in, its a long list. From Comedy, to horror, to sci fi. He was a talented person who I don't think ever did a bad character (may have been in a few bad movies, but his characters never came across as 2 dimentional.)
He will be missed.
