Dean Baker is a major antagonist of the 2015 British-American spy action comedy film Kingsman: The Secret Service.
He was portrayed by Geoff Bell, who also played Tommy Hatcher in Green Street: Hooligans and Israel Hands in Treasure Island.
Biography[]
Dean Baker is an unemployed man who is married to a woman named Michelle Unwin and is the father of their infant daughter Daisy. He is also the stepfather of Michelle's son Gary "Eggsy" Unwin, the film's protagonist whom Dean is frequently abusive towards along with Michelle.
In the beginning of the movie, Dean is first seen when he and Eggsy's mum are sitting on the couch watching TV. Soon Eggsy walks in on the pair and Dean orders him to buy some Rizlas. Eggsy tells Dean "Get them yourself." and Eggsy is scolded by his mum for speaking to Dean like that. Dean then gives Eggsy the money to buy the Rizlas. When Eggsy returns home the next day, Dean ambushes Eggsy. He beats and interrogates Eggsy on the man responsible for attacking his gang, but Eggsy doesn't give in. Dean then threatens to kill Eggsy with a meat cleaver, but is saved by the timely intervention of Harry - who had bugged Eggsy's vest with a tiny microphone. Perplexed as to where Harry's voice is originating, Eggsy escapes Dean's grasp and flees to become Harry's candidate to become a Kingsman agent.
Time passes and Eggsy fails his final test at Kingsman, prompting him to return home. He finds that Dean had given his mother a black eye and confronts his stepfather by the pub to end the abuse once and for all, but the encounter is cut short when Harry redirects the car Eggsy stole to his apartment to chastise him on his failure.
Later on after Eggy saves the world after killing the seemingly-legitimate billionaire Richmond Valentine and thus foiling his scheme against the world, he becomes a Kingsman agent and offers his mother a new home away from Dean,. She is about to answer when Dean gets up from his seat, orders Eggsy's mum to sit down, threateningly tells Eggsy "Only place she'll be visiting is you in f**king hospital, do you hear?". Eggsy's mum tells Dean to leave Eggsy alone and asks Eggsy to go for his own safety; however, a comment from Dean forces Eggsy to stop and do the same things that Harry did: locking the door and reciting the "Manners Maketh Man" quote from Harry.
Dean's thugs suddenly realized the danger due to their previous encounter with Harry and tried to warn Dean not to mess with Eggsy, but he arrogantly shrugs them off. He begins to mock Eggsy again until the latter flings the glass mug into Dean's forehead, knocking Dean out before proceeding to fight Dean's cronies. However, due to their past experience with Harry, the thugs most likely let Eggsy and his mother go rather than risking having their bones broken against a futile fight. What happens to Dean afterward in unknown, though it is likely that Eggsy's mother ends up leaving him in order to live with Eggsy.
Personality[]
Dean Baker is a foul-mouthed and cruel old man who violently inflicts abuse on his wife and step-son respectively. He is more than likely an alcoholic, which could be a contributing factor to his violent and aggressive behavior. He was willing to murder Eggsy in order to find out who attacked his gang in the pub. It is also likely that he married Michelle for her first husband's money, hardly showing any romantic feelings for her.
Aside from his lack of familial love (especially for his daughter), he also shows little interest towards his gang due to being an egotistical man; even when his gang realise that provoking Eggsy would likely lead to a repeat of their encounter with Harry, Dean angrily tells them to shut up, only to end up being knocked down by Eggsy himself.
