Every Ron Dean Movies Ranked Worst to Best

By John Garcia 10/14/2025

Ron Dean was one of those faces you instantly recognized, even if you didn’t know his name. The Chicago-born actor brought real grit and authenticity to every role, whether he was playing a detective in The Fugitive, a dad in The Breakfast Club, or a cop in The Dark Knight. With that signature no-nonsense edge and a voice that felt straight out of the Midwest, Dean became Hollywood’s go-to guy for grounding big stories in reality.

He never needed the spotlight; he was the scene-stealer in the background. With nearly a hundred credits and a four-decade career, his recent passing at 87 reminds us why character actors like Ron Dean are the heartbeat of great cinema.

Without further ado, let’s check the movies he has been a part of throughout the years.

27. The Last Affair (1976)

Before Ron Dean became one of Chicago’s most recognizable character actors, he debuted on-screen in The Last Affair. This moody, low-budget drama tried to explore the emotional fallout of a failing marriage.

Directed by Henri Charbakshi, the film follows a couple struggling with infertility and the slow disintegration of their relationship. Shot amid the biting Chicago winter, it aimed for intimacy and realism but ended up feeling more experimental than cohesive.

Released in 1976 after years in post-production, the movie drew scathing reviews, especially from Roger Ebert, who called it “appallingly bad.”

But looking back, The Last Affair feels more like the messy beginning of something real. Dean’s portrayal of David is raw, grounded, and unmistakably human, the kind of performance that hints at his future strength as an everyman actor. It’s not a great movie, but it’s an intriguing first glimpse of the quiet intensity that would later make Ron Dean unforgettable.

26. Wild Things 2 (2004)

Dripping with early-2000s drama and glossy chaos, Wild Things 2 is the kind of sequel that doesn’t hold back on the scandal. Directed by Jack Perez, this steamy thriller dives into a web of greed, seduction, and betrayal set against the sun-soaked backdrop of Florida’s elite.

The story follows Brittney Havers (Susan Ward), a high school queen bee whose privileged life spirals when she learns her massive inheritance isn’t as secure as she thought. Things get even messier when Maya King (Leila Arcieri) enters the picture, claiming to be her late stepfather’s secret daughter. Cue the double-crosses, dangerous liaisons, and courtroom drama that made Wild Things a cult guilty pleasure in the first place.

Enter Ron Dean as Judge Ruben, the no-nonsense authority figure trying to keep this wild ride on track. His calm, commanding screen presence adds weight to the film’s glossy chaos, grounding the deceit and drama with a dash of grit. Dean makes his mark even in a supporting role, proving that a steady, authentic performance can cut through even the most seductive storm.

25. One Small Hitch (2012)

One Small Hitch is a romantic comedy that hits all the right notes for laughs, awkward moments, and heartfelt family drama. Directed by John Burgess, it stars Shane McRae as Josh Shiffman and Aubrey Dollar as Molly Mahoney.

When Josh learns that his father is terminally ill, he improvises a fake engagement with Molly to give his dad a last happy memory, cue a whirlwind of comedic chaos, misunderstandings, and unexpected romance. The story balances humor and heart, giving audiences plenty of swoon-worthy moments while keeping the family dynamics grounded.

Amid all this fun, Ron Dean shows up as Art Burke, Molly’s stepfather, instantly bringing weight and authenticity to the proceedings. His calm yet firm performance anchors the chaos of the fake engagement plot, reminding viewers why Dean has always been Hollywood’s go-to for reliable, grounded support. Even in a light-hearted rom-com, he leaves a lasting impression, proving that a scene-stealer doesn’t always need the spotlight.

24. The Big Score (1983)

The Big Score delivers that classic Chicago street-level intensity if you’re into gritty, no-nonsense crime dramas. Directed by Fred Williamson, who also stars as Detective Frank Hooks, the film follows Hooks after a botched drug bust costs him his badge and a million-dollar briefcase.

Determined to set things right, he takes on both the mob and crooked cops, navigating a city rife with corruption, danger, and double-crosses. With a strong supporting cast that includes Nancy Wilson, John Saxon, Richard Roundtree, and Ed Lauter, the film blends fast-paced action with tense character drama, all in just 85 minutes of pure adrenaline.

Amid all the chaos, Ron Dean appears as Kowalski, adding a grounded, believable presence that helps anchor the story. While not the lead, Dean’s performance brings subtle weight to the ensemble, making the world feel lived-in and real.

His portrayal underscores why he’s long been one of Hollywood’s most reliable character actors: even in smaller roles, he commands attention and adds authenticity, elevating the tension and grit of the film.

23. Cocktail (1988)

Cocktail (1988) is pure 80s chaos in the best way: bright lights, fast shakes, and bigger-than-life personalities. Directed by Roger Donaldson, the film follows Tom Cruise as Brian Flanagan, a hustler turned bartender trying to carve out a life in New York City.

With Bryan Brown as his mentor, Brian turns bartending into a full-blown performance, tossing bottles, spinning shakers, and charming every crowd he meets. Amid the flair and flash, there’s love, heartbreak, and a tropical detour to Jamaica, where Brian’s personal and professional life collide dramatically.

Right in the middle of all the glitz is Ron Dean as Uncle Pat, quietly cutting through the chaos with a presence you notice even if you’re not watching for him. He doesn’t do flashy stunts or steal the scene with theatrics, but every interaction lands just right, giving the story a touch of reality and keeping the messy, fast-moving world of Cocktail grounded.

22. House of Angels – The Second Summer (1994)

House of Angels – The Second Summer (Änglagård – andra sommaren) has small-town drama, quirky chaos, and a burned-down mansion. Directed by Colin Nutley, this 1994 Swedish dramedy picks up where the 1992 original left off, following Fanny Zander and Zac as they return to their inherited mansion, only to discover it’s gone up in flames.

What ensues is a mix of hilariously messy family drama, love triangles, and village gossip that spirals into the most unpredictable summer imaginable.

With a cast of seasoned Swedish actors including Ernst Günther, Tord Peterson, Sven Wollter, and Viveka Seldahl, the film perfectly balances heart and humor, and Ron Dean pops in as Sven Pettersson. The movie is less about the mansion and more about the people who live, fight, love, and scheme around it, making it a colorful, feel-good ride that proves life and small towns are never boring.

21. Big Shots (1987)

Big Shots is a buddy comedy that flips the script on the typical crime caper. Directed by Robert Mandel, the film follows two unlikely allies: Obie Dawkins (Ricky Busker), a suburban kid reeling from his father’s death, and Scam Henderson (Darius McCrary), a street-smart hustler from Chicago’s South Side.

After a chance encounter and a series of misadventures, including stealing a gangster’s car, the duo embarks on a road trip to the Deep South in search of Scam’s estranged father. Along the way, they navigate a world of criminals, con artists, and unexpected friendships, all while learning about themselves and each other.

Light of Day (1987) is a gritty, music-fueled drama that dives headfirst into the struggles and dreams of Cleveland’s rock scene. Directed by Paul Schrader, the film stars Michael J. Fox as Joe Rasnick and Joan Jett as his sister Patti, who together form the band The Barbusters.

Between late-night gigs, family tensions, and the ups and downs of chasing a music career, the siblings confront the pressures of ambition, loyalty, and personal sacrifice. The movie perfectly captures the sweaty, electric energy of 80s rock clubs while layering in the raw emotions of sibling rivalry and love.

Ron Dean appears briefly as a mourner, a small touch that blends seamlessly into the world around Joe and Patti. The film’s soundtrack, featuring the title track Light of Day written by Bruce Springsteen and performed by Joan Jett and The Barbusters, became a hit and cemented the movie’s place in 80s music culture. With its mix of heartbreak, humor, and rock ’n’ roll grit, Light of Day remains a standout for anyone who loves music-driven stories with a pulse.

19. Steal Big Steal Little (1995)

Andrew Davis’ Steal Big Steal Little is one of those wild ‘90s comedies that feels like a mash-up of sibling chaos and California real-estate drama. The film stars Andy García pulling double duty as twin brothers Ruben and Robby, one honest, one morally bankrupt, whose feud over an inherited Santa Barbara ranch spirals into a full-blown war of lies, lawsuits, and mistaken identities.

With Alan Arkin bringing his signature wit as Lou Perilli, the slick used-car salesman roped into the madness, the movie balances sharp humor with a dose of absurd family tension.

Featuring a strong supporting cast, including Rachel Ticotin, Ally Walker, and Joe Pantoliano, Steal Big Steal Little never quite hit box-office gold but later found a niche cult audience for its eccentric storytelling. Ron Dean appears as Nick’s Boy, blending seamlessly into the film’s offbeat ensemble and further enriching its fast-talking, chaotic energy.

18. Chicago Cab (1997)

If there was ever a movie that bottled up city life’s chaos, comedy, and heartbreak, Chicago Cab (1997) would be it.

Directed by Mary Cybulski and John Tintori, the film features a wild mix of familiar faces such as John Cusack, Gillian Anderson, Julianne Moore, and Chicago’s own Ron Dean.

Chicago Cab might not follow a traditional storyline, but it nails the feeling of being alive in a city that never stops moving.

17. The Babe (1992)

The Babe (1992) takes a big swing at telling the life story of one of baseball’s most legendary icons, Babe Ruth, and it does so with all the drama and heart of a classic sports biopic.

From his rough childhood at St. Mary’s Industrial School for Boys to his record-breaking home runs with the Yankees, the movie dives into the triumphs, scandals, and loneliness behind the myth.

Ron Dean steps in as Umpire Owens, blending perfectly into the film’s nostalgic portrayal of early 20th-century baseball. It’s a small role, but one that reflects Dean’s knack for grounding even the most star-studded films with authenticity. The Babe is part sports fantasy, part tragedy, and all heart, much like the legend it celebrates.

16. Teachers (1984)

Teachers is basically what would happen if high school ran on pure chaos and caffeine. Nick Nolte plays Alex, a teacher stuck in the trenches of JFK High, where students couldn’t care less, staff are busy scheming, and rules exist mostly on paper.
