Dick Deen was born in USA in the 40′s, but he was taken back to the family home in Lebanon while a babe-in-arms. He grew up in Beirut, where as a youth he became interested in theater – especially the technical side. Swimming and soccer were his sports in Lebanon.

The 180 cm tall handsome man returned to USA in his late 20′s, to start his career as an actor and a model. He took a leading role in a western movie, The Comancheros (1961), and landed on the cover of magazines.
