the Allstate Insurance Company Since 2003, Haysbert has appeared as the official spokesman for the Allstate Insurance Company.

In June 2009, Winters contracted a bacterial infection and collapsed upon arrival at his doctor's office. While being transported across Central Park in an ambulance, he went into cardiac arrest for over two minutes.

The man who has become known as the Allstate commercial guy is Dennis Haysbert. Haysbert is an accomplished actor who has a long list of credits to his name, spanning from the late 1970s until today.

In the basketball spot, Mayhem's brother is played by Winters' real-life brother, Scott William Winters, who is also an actor known for roles on “NCIS,” “Law & Order: SVU” and other shows. The Winters have teamed onscreen before, notably playing brothers on the HBO drama "Oz."

Dean Winters - known for acting roles on “30 Rock,” “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” and other productions - has long been Mayhem in ads for Allstate insurance.

Dean Winters went into cardiac arrest for two minutes on the way to the hospital, but thankfully, paramedics could revive him. But he spent three weeks in intensive care recovering from the illness.

The "Law & Order" and "30 Rock" star almost died in 2009 after going into cardiac arrest after contracting a bacterial infection, CNN reports. Winters went through multiple operations and suffered through gangrene before doctors decided to amputate two of his toes and half of a thumb.

The Mayhem actor did die (but he's doing much better today)! Winters became extremely ill with a bacterial illness in June 2009 and was taken to Lennox Hill Hospital after falling at his doctor's office. According to HITC, he had a high fever the day before his collapse.

In 2009, his life changed following a near-death experience when he went into cardiac arrest for two minutes after contracting a bacterial infection. Since then, Winters has had to undergo multiple amputations. In a recent interview with Page Six, Winters has opened up about how he lives with the constant pain.

Mayhem temporarily disbanded after Aarseth's murder, shortly before the release of their debut album, De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, regarded as a classic of the black metal genre.

He has neuropathy, which means that his hands and feet don't feel anything. Winters also caught a bacterial infection and almost died when her heart stopped beating. After he had several surgeries and got gangrene, doctors cut off two of his toes and half of one of his thumbs.

Winters had lost two toes, half a thumb, and the tip of his nose had fallen off. Then a nurse took him to the children's burn section. There he saw kids playing soccer with prosthetic legs. That was the turning point in his life, and he decided to relearn how to walk.
