Dean Sullivan
BA in Education
MA in Drama
Theatre Director & Actor
Dean is an English actor and theatre director, best known for playing Jimmy Corkhill in Channel 4’s long running soap, Brookside. Dean joined Brookside in February 1986 and remained with the show until it ended in November 2003. He featured in many of its ratings-pulling storylines.
Dean's fans will also know him for his theatrical achievements, ranging from Willy Russell’s ‘Breezeblock Park’, to the taxing monologue of Graham in Alan Bennet’s ‘A Chip in the Sugar’. He demonstrates his allegiance to poetry as the narrator in a specially-written drama celebrating the life of Wilfred Owen. As a professional drama tutor and qualified teacher, Dean uses drama and performance skills to help even the most retiring of poets to shine in public.
As well as providing optional performance tuition during the week, Dean will bring his entertaining and charismatic skills to our special celebration evening, adding drama and panache to the event.
