ORSON BEAN'S BIO

Mr. Bean’s career spans over five decades, from the Golden Age of Television in the
fifties (Playhouse Ninety, The Twilight Zone) to a six year run on DR. QUINN, MEDICINE WOMAN in the nineties to his SAG Award- nominated performance in
BEING JOHN MALKOVICH. In addition to being an actor and director, he is a
story teller and raconteur who sat on the panel of the game show TO TELL
THE TRUTH for seven years and guested on THE TONIGHT SHOW over two
hundred times (a hundred of them as substitute host).

He starred on Broadway for twenty years, enjoying long runs in such plays as NEVER
TOO LATE and WILL SUCCESS SPOIL ROCK HUNTER and in a number of
musicals including SUBWAYS ARE FOR SLEEPING for which he received a Tony Award nomination. His numerous feature film credits include ANATOMY OF A MURDER, INNERSPACE and FORTY DEUCE. Three new independent pictures in which he appears await release this year.

Bean works frequently on television, guesting on dramas like COLD CASE as well as on such sit-coms as TWO AND A HALF MEN.

A successful author, he has had three books published: ME AND THE ORGONE, which
recounts his experience in Reichian therapy, TOO MUCH IS NOT ENOUGH, an
autobiography, and the satirical 25 WAYS TO COOK A MOUSE. His latest work, M@IL FOR MIKEY is due out soon. A native of Burlington, Vt. (and second cousin to Calvin Coolidge), he survived the industry blacklist of the 1950s. He currently lives in Venice, California with his wife, the actress Alley
Mills, where they are both members of the acclaimed Pacific Resident Theater company.
