Loren Dean (born July 31, 1969) is an American actor. He has appeared on stage and in feature films. 　　Dean's first film was 1988's Plain Clothes. He made his big break a year later, cast as a bad ex-boyfriend in Say Anything... starring John Cusack. His third film, the 1991 crime drama Billy Bathgate, cast him opposite Nicole Kidman, Dustin Hoffman and Bruce Willis. Although the film did not do well at the box office, Dean won positive reviews for his performance. 　　Dean was also lauded for his role as a cocaine-addicted, has-been movie star who is accidentally re-launched on the road to fame and fortune by a fan in Starstruck. Variety noted that Dean "nails his role with precision". He was also lauded for his performance as a mysterious small-town psychologist in Mumford (1999). Dean's performance was considered "plausible and generous," and he was favorably compared to a "young Charles Grodin." 　　Much of his acting career, however, has been in supporting roles. His films include Apollo 13 (1995), How to Make an American Quilt (1995), Gattaca (1997), Enemy of the State (1998) and Space Cowboys (2000). Dean has appeared in a number of independent films (such as The War Bride and The Poker Club) and several well-received television miniseries (such as The Bronx Is Burning). He has also played Russ, the brother of Temperance "Bones" Brennan on the TV series Bones. He also had a recurring role on the 2010 crime drama Terriers. In 2011, Dean starred in the made-for-television movie Who Is Simon Miller? The film, which aired on NBC, was financed by Procter & Gamble and Walmart as one of their quarterly "Family Movie Night" films. Each film is designed to present wholesome values with almost no violence, sex, or drug use. 　　Dean has supported filmmakers behind the scenes as well. In 1999, he was a juror for the third annual Shorts International Film Festival.
