He did a wonderful job! He's got all the little mannerisms and even looks like Dean--through sheer force of will! It was such a pleasure to watch him and Sam together! :)
He did such a good job playing all of Grown Dean's little quirks that it reminded me of Michael Welch playing a de-aged (sort of) Jack O'Neill on Stargate. And it can't be easy, playing a character as an older teenager, then playing them as an adult in a younger teen's body two years later. I mean, Dean in the boys' home was supposed to be older, like 16, right? So Dylan Everett had to take him backwards 2 years physically and forward 20 mentally. That's some professional grade acting!
Incidentally, just how many actors have played Young Dean? There's the kid from the Pilot, the kid from the episode with the striga who was also in A Very Supernatural Christmas, Afterschool Special Dean, Dean playing catch with Bobby in Death's Door, and Dylan Everett, who is the second actor to play him twice and the second actor named Everett to play him when something supernatural happened to his age. :)

omgosh, right!! Chad Everet, who also did an incredible job playing Dean! That was a great episode!
I think your list of kids who played Dean is complete--I'd forgotten about Bobby's Dean!

That's a good point! That kid definitely is very professional, very good. I'd be surprised if we don't see him going on to bigger and better as time goes by.
