Dennis Haysbert Dennis Haysbert was born on 2 June 1954 in San Mateo, California, USA. He is an actor and producer, known for Far from Heaven (2002), 24 (2001) and Heat (1995).

Although his face is arguably one of the most recognizable in the country thanks to over a decade of Allstate commercials (playing the devious character Mayhem), Dean Winters has only ever been in one other commercial, in the mid-1990s.

In June 2009, Winters contracted a bacterial infection and collapsed upon arrival at his doctor's office. While being transported across Central Park in an ambulance, he went into cardiac arrest for over two minutes. Paramedics were able to revive him and he was hospitalized in intensive care for three weeks.

How much does Dean Winters make? Dean Winters has an estimated annual salary of $1 million, while he makes $4 million from Allstate Insurance company commercials.

Mayhem's relatability and endless quotables caught on quickly after his debut and the character took on a life of his own beyond the brand. After the first two fiscal quarters of the Mayhem campaign, Allstate saw nearly a five percent increase in sales, taking in $7.9 billion .

With Allstate, you're protected from mayhem - like me. Mayhem's tagline.

Winters had lost two toes, half a thumb, and the tip of his nose had fallen off. Then a nurse took him to the children's burn section. There he saw kids playing soccer with prosthetic legs. That was the turning point in his life, and he decided to relearn how to walk.

Residuals are financial compensations that are paid to the actors, film or television directors, and others involved in making TV shows and movies in cases of the cable reruns, syndication, DVD release, or licensing to streaming media.

It depends. If it's a non-Union commercial, the actor was probably paid on a buyout, meaning they got a lump sum and do not receive per-use residuals. If it's union, different kinds of usage are paid differently. National broadcast network usage is paid per-use (so we get paid every time it airs.)

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.

Also that year, Winters was introduced as "Mayhem", a recurring character in a television and radio advertising campaign for Allstate Insurance created by the advertising agency Leo Burnett Chicago. In 2019, Fey joined Winters in a series of "Mayhem" commercials. Winters played Avi in John Wick.
