Dean unpacks the turning point that changed his work: an acting class with Aaron Speiser that replaced “how should this look?” with “what does this human believe right now?” We dig into the “moment before,” the trap of starting scenes in a pre-selected emotion, and why memorizing like a song locks rhythm and kills spontaneity. Dean’s mantra is ruthless and liberating: lines matter for understanding, presence matters for meaning.
