The Mayhem actor did die (but he's doing much better today)! Winters became extremely ill with a bacterial illness in June 2009 and was taken to Lennox Hill Hospital after falling at his doctor's office. According to HITC, he had a high fever the day before his collapse.

American actor Dean Winters is best known for his roles as Mayhem in the Allstate commercials, Ryan O'Reilly in Oz, and Dennis Duffy in 30 Rock.

Allstate flipped that approach on its head with the introduction of Mayhem in 2010 - so effectively that the campaign featuring him is still going strong.

As was the case in 2021, "Mayhem" was already in prison at the time owing to a separate charge of vandalism. Miller's criminal record also includes another domestic violence charge in 2017, arrests for vandalism, a DUI, alleged assault of police officers, protective order violations, battery, and trespassing.

In the basketball spot, Mayhem's brother is played by Winters' real-life brother, Scott William Winters, who is also an actor known for roles on “NCIS,” “Law & Order: SVU” and other shows. The Winters have teamed onscreen before, notably playing brothers on the HBO drama "Oz."

Complaints and customer satisfaction Allstate had mixed ratings for consumer satisfaction with auto insurance claims and shopping in 2022 studies by J.D. Power, a data analytics company. No. 6 out of 8 companies.

The character Mayhem was created by the Chicago-based advertising agency Leo Burnett and the insurance company Northbrook. Burnett pitched the character to Allstate as "Mr. Mayhem", comparing him to the character Mr. White from the 1992 film Reservoir Dogs, portrayed by Harvey Keitel.

You're in good hands "Good hands" Allstate's slogan "You're in good hands" was created in the 1950s by Allstate Insurance Company's sales executive, Davis W. Ellis, based on a similar phrase he used to reassure his wife about a doctor caring for their child. It has been the slogan ever since 1950.

The Mayhem character will be a deadpan actor who represents the incidents in life that could lead to accidents. In every ad, this character will state that because the customer stuck with “cut rate” insurance, they won't be covered and will end up paying more out of their own pockets.

Mayhem is the main protagonist, anti-hero and presumably immortal mascot/advertising character/second spokesperson for the insurance company Allstate. He is a man who encourages people to get Allstate.
