West, Dean - Dean West Acting Studio LLC

Dean West grew up in Moss Bluff, a small town just outside of Lake Charles, Louisiana, where he graduated from Sam Houston High School. His passion for the entertainment industry started at a very young age. He started writing, producing, and acting in small plays at his church, where he developed an even larger love for entertainment.
In the course of his education, Dean was also taking frequent trips to Texas, where he began his acting, modeling, and commercial career. With a taste of success and eager to continue making progress toward his career, he moved to Los Angeles, where his modeling landed him working for many top designers and magazines, such as Blackbook, Nylon, and Men's Health. While living in Los Angeles, Dean also began studying with renowned acting coach, Aaron Speiser, named "2009 Best Scene Study Coach" by Backstage West. Dean studied under Aaron during his seven years in California from his beginner class through his master class.
Dean's film career has had him on shows such as 7th Heaven, CSI New York, How I Met Your Mother, Young & The Restless, and Scrubs. He has been the lead in many independent feature films such as Sunset Junction, Cooper Pass, and Skyler to name a few. He also recently landed a part in Beauty and the Briefcase, starring Hillary Duff, as well as The Ledge starring Terrence Howard, Liv Tyler, Charlie Hunnam, and Chris Gorham. The Ledge made into SUNDANCE this year. He begins shooting on Love, Wedding Marriage staring Mandy Moore and Kellen Luttz in May of 2010. He has booked over 10 projects this year alone.
"I have worked with some of the best actors in the world. I consider Dean in their class!" - Aaron Speiser/ACTING COACH
“I think Dean is an amazing guy and has a very strong work ethic. He is easy to get along with and he is very dedicated to his craft. I highly recommend working with him.” Jennifer Grissanti Consultancy- (previously Vice President Current Programs CBS Paramount. Executive director current programs Spelling Television Inc.)
"Dean comes to set prepared and applies a number of a different methods to his technique. Both classical and contemporary, his emotional memory and creative process were evident throughout his time on set. His acting is seamless" -Christopher C. Brown/PRODUCER,FILM MAKER
There is no doubt in my mind that guidance and advice can help take an actor on a more stable journey emotionally through the ups and downs we endure. Dean has been an excellent back bone for me and has given me the ability to trust in my self and have faith in the work I do. Having an understanding of your career from the different perspectives he provides is one of best assets an actor can ask for. I Highly encourage artists of all types to work with Dean - it will be for the best and completely worth every moment of it.
Jeremy Batiste/ACTOR-(Noah's Arc, He's on My Mind, The Kiss)
Dean West is an agent's dream when it comes to coaching clients. He has the unique ability to show an actor the proper breakdown of a character and enable them to fully understand the task at hand. Clients leave Dean with the confidence to book the job! Joe Vance/Agent-Domain Talent
"As a producer its truly great when a actor comes in, nails their lines, and does it better than ever expected. Dean really understands the craft and has fantastic timing. Most Actors could take a lesson or two from this guy!"-Chris Multop Producer KHOU-TV
“Dean West is one of the most naturally talented actors I’ve ever worked with. His instinct in breaking down a script, as well as his ease in front of the camera, just adds to his innate ability.” Michael J. Sonntag- Producer, Casting Director
"Dean is not only a great actor with his subtle nuances and realistic delivery, but as a person he is easy to understand and learn from. Dean and I have spent time in different aspects of the business where I've seen him shine as both a talent and a person." - theatrical agent, Ted Maier of The Brass Agency
I Have known Dean For three years as both a friend and an actor, and he has always been someone who I can rely on for quality advice and counseling. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Dean's talent, preparation, and dedication as an actor is something that I admire and respect. I have been coached by Dean many times for auditions and have always left feeling more confident and prepared after working with him.
Quite simply, Dean West... Is the best!
Sincerely,
Jonah Wharton
Throughout my acting career I have been honored to work with many talented and gifted people. I am very blessed to say that Dean West is one of them. I have not only had the opportunity to work with Dean in a scene but also have been able to watch him create a character and carry a film from beginning to end. His charisma will catch your attention and keep you wanting to watch where he goes next. But what will capture you the most about him is his vulnerability, which helps one identify with him on a personal level that only a truly gifted actor can achieve. He has the incredible ability to take a character on a journey through lighthearted comedy moments all the way to deeply emotional and dark situations. I am very lucky to not only know him as a fellow actor, but as a friend. You are truly in for a treat when watching him on screen. I cannot wait to see the wonderful things he will accomplish in his career. It has only just begun. - Jonna Walsh(Bones, Couples Retreat, Everybody hates Chris, Drake & Josh)

Dean has quickly grown to one of the top acting coaches in Louisiana and is known for his knowledge and honesty to his students about this industry.
