He supplemented his professional training in Boston studying classical theater at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA) and the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts (LAMDA) before moving to New York City to pursue his career.Soon after arriving in New York, Bean received his first big break taking over the lead role, only days before opening night, in Brian Friel's 'Philadelphia Here I Come!' at the acclaimed Williamstown Theater Festival. With rave reviews from this production he quickly began to work frequently on the New York stage and in regional theaters around the country.In New York, Bean recently starred in Jordan Harrison's Pulitzer Prize nominated play 'Marjorie Prime' with Lois Smith and Steven Root, directed by Annie Kaufman, at Playwrights Horizons. Before that he starred in a new adaptation of Tennessee Williams' 'One Arm', from acclaimed director Moises Kaufman, at The New Group.

Daily Variety's May 23rd 2006 review of 'Love's Labour's Lost' comments that "Bean is captivating, delivering the play's best speeches with clarity, thought and assured grace."In addition to his work on stage Bean found a strong path into television and film work, recently playing the series regular role of 'Aaron Marker' in SyFy's television series "12 Monkeys". He is perhaps best known on television for playing the series regular role of 'Ryan Fletcher' on the popular show "Nikita", which aired on The CW in the USA and on numerous networks around the world, and previously starred as series regular 'David Connor' on FX's award-winning hit series "Damages" opposite Glenn Close and Rose Byrne.
