Dean Read
Dean trained at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts and graduated…..many years ago. Since graduating Dean has performed in many a show in the West End, as well as shows around the UK and internationally. International Touring being his favourite. In fact it was the International Tour of Mamma Mia that first brought Dean and Mark together, Mark being the resident director and Dean being a cover of the “Dads.” In 2024 Dean started working as an agent, a lifelong dream, for AKT Cymru. Securing essential experience in this field has been rewarding, he even secured a job for himself in the West End production of Moulin Rouge. Dean is beyond excited to have formed Hilton Read Management with his friend, Mark. Their aim - for Hilton Read to be a leading agency in the UK, where client progress and achievement is at its core.
