Dean is the first of Lincoln's voice actors to have voiced him for an entire season.
Unlike his predecessor, Dean was replaced slightly before reaching puberty, meanwhile Palmer voiced him even beyond hitting puberty. This also applies to all of the successors as Lincoln, except for Bentley Griffin who, similarly to Palmer, continued to voice Lincoln beyond hitting puberty.
His final performance as Lincoln was the short "Sibling Speak". This makes him the first of Lincoln's voice actors whose final performance as Lincoln was not in an episode, and the only one whose final performance was in a short.
Assuming that Seasons 1-4 take place in 2016, Lincoln was most likely born in 2005 if he was to be 11 from Seasons 1-5, making Dean the exact same age as Lincoln in real time. This makes Dean the closest of Lincoln's voice actors to Lincoln's age in real time.
