He's been causing chaos during commercial breaks for over a decade, but there's so much more to Allstate spokesman Dean Winters than selling insurance. From his near-death experience to his extensive acting career, this is the man behind the mayhem.

[Ravyne]

I love Dean Winters as Mayhem! His sarcastic wit is perfect for that role.

[potslite]

I adore Mayhem! He’s absolutely perfect in that role. I’d love to be able to sit and watch all of the commercials…we need a Mayhem retrospective!

[gregorydonatelli]

Dean Winters is an extremely good actor.

[funfan]

He is AMAZING!!!
Attractive, intelligent, talented,
under appreciated and under utilized for sure…
Respect and love to him!

[brianpark]

I think every Allstate commercial is hilarious what he does and he is perfect for the role and I hope he keeps doing more commercials in the future and I think he’s like Flo as well both in small commercial roles have become popular and huge just for their commercial roles

[charlenemack]

I cannot imagine anyone else doing these commercials other than dean winters! Whoever cast him, thank you thank you thank you! 😊❤❤❤

[lonreed]

Dean Winters stared in HBO’s prison drama “OZ”, that’s how I found him. He was awesome. I watched religiously.

[verucasalt]

He’s one of those guys that looks better as he ages.
I love that bad boy.

[alanjohnson]

A great part he recently played in the insurance commercial he acted like a hungry bear and it was spot on.

[PoggeB]

I adore the mayhem character. He's a great actor in so many things, but you can't help but love his awful/wonderful embodiment of chaos the most.

[AChandle]

Jesus...that he survived a full body infection...that very thing claimed my mom's life.
I'm glad he was able to fight it and survive.
I notice his face kinda expanded a bit after that compared to his previous work,
but I think as Mayhem, it fits him.

[nigelgreen]

This retrospective made me surprisingly very happy - thank you - love that guy

[aprilrich]

He’s awesome. I think my favorite Mayhem commercial is the one that has him playing a raccoon mother. It was pretty short lived here in California, but every time I see a Mayhem commercial, I miss that one.

[sukiwatson]

Dean is perfect for the role as mayhem. I could never see anyone else but dean playing that role. I also enjoyed seeing him in Law and Order. He is very talented, and I also want to see more of him.

[davidthomas]

The funniest Mayhem commercial I like is when the driver is looking in the side view mirror to make a lane change, Mayhem is hanging on the car in the mirror and says: "You're good." meaning it's OK to move over only to be hit by the car in the lane. 😆🤣

[physchir]

"I'm your blind spot. I've got one job: hide big things.... You're good!"

that one always makes me laugh...

[angiloves]

I adore Dean Winters especially as Mayhem. Of all commercials, Winters Mayhem commercials are my all time favorite. And look forward to every new one

[reneebanbury]

Mayhem commercials are my favorite! I get so excited when a new one comes out!

[brianpeterson]

I am a huge Dean Winters fan! Love everything he does! I wish him success along with his brothers for all the days of their lives.
