Dean Lawrence (born 1961, Bristol)[citation needed] is a British actor who is best known for his role as Gypsy boy Tyso Boswell in the children's science fiction television series The Tomorrow People.[1]
Born in Bristol, Lawrence had wanted to act since the age of three, learning his craft from mimicking people and acting his way out of "tight corners". His mother had promised young Dean that if he strove for good results in primary school, he would go on to a good stage school. After the deal was made, Lawrence's marks sat above satisfactory level in his end-of year exams, so he was enrolled at the Barbara Speake Stage School at the age of eleven.
Since his enrollment, Lawrence appeared in various commercials, doing modelling jobs for everything from bikes to cars and sung on records with Ed 'Stewpot' Stewart, Max Wall. and others. He also performed in quite few West End productions, including Carry On London and Joseph and His Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. It was also said in a Look-In article that he avidly supported the football team Bristol Rovers and that his favourite hobby was girls.[2][3]
It was after filming an appearance on 'Robin Hood Junior' as Edmund that Lawrence got the part as Tyso Boswell on The Tomorrow People. Filming for Dean's television debut as Tyso took place in late 1974. The character of Tyso had extra-sharp senses and mild claustrophobia, however, these quirks of Tyso never made it past Lawrence's second appearance, Worlds Away. Both Tyso and Stephen Jameson (who Tyso shared a special friendship with) were retired from the series at the end of 1976 in the episode Into the Unknown.[citation needed] After The Tomorrow People Lawrence had quite a few more acting jobs, such as Jerry in a guest appearance on the short-lived 1978 American situation comedy Another Day, Ron Harvey in Westway, a Knob in The Lords of Discipline and Jack in House of Caradus.[4][5][6]
