Dean Mccoppin

His Little Surfer Girl 🌊 ✨ on Pinterest for the wallpaper.

As the cool, artistic resident beatnik of the small town of Rockwell, Maine, 1957, where this film takes place, Dean is an outcast. The rest of the town doesn't take him seriously, but he's cool with that. He's a Bohemian junk man who sells art (or an artist who sells junk, even he doesn't seem to be able to tell the difference) and follows the beat of his drum. Dean runs into Hogarth first at the diner where Hogarth's mom, Annie, works when Hogarth's new "pet" squirrel figures the best place to hide is in Dean's pants. Dean next encounters Hogarth when Hogarth decides a scrap yard is a perfect place to hide a metal-eating giant robot. Dean is reluctant, but after a few cups of espresso and 37 minutes of convincing, Dean lets the robot stay. When Hogarth finds his way back, he's surprised to see that Dean has the giant doing "arts and crafts," working as an advanced type of crane, helping Dean take his art to new heights. Dean is instrumental in hiding the robot from the scheming, self-serving Kent Mansley and the U.S. Government, who would destroy the robot without a thought to its origins or its innocence (if unprovoked). Dean is the one who first realizes that the giant only turns into a weapon when shot at and tries to convey that to the government. When the giant sacrifices himself to save the town, flying straight into the Rockwell-bound missile, Mansley is dismissed, and the government vacates the area. Sometime later, Dean makes a statue to commemorate the giant's contribution to the town, and Annie, who is now a best friend to Dean, calls it his best work yet. He is voiced by Emmy and Grammy winner and Tony nominee actor/singer Harry Connick Jr.

In 1957, during the Cold War, a fifty-foot-tall extraterrestrial robot crash-lands off the coast of Rockwell, Maine. The following night, nine-year-old Hogarth Hughes investigates reports of power outages and discovers the Giant feeding on electrical lines at a substation. Though initially frightened, Hogarth later returns to save the Giant from electrocution.

Hogarth befriends the Giant, discovering him to be gentle, curious and childlike. The Giant eats railroad tracks, oblivious to an oncoming train which collides with and damages him. The Giant's scattered pieces automatically return to him, allowing him to self-repair. Hogarth shelters the Giant at his home and shows him his comic books, explaining the difference between heroes and weapons and comparing him to Superman.

Incidents related to the Giant attract the attention of paranoid federal agent Kent Mansley, who arrives in Rockwell to investigate. While initially skeptical, Mansley eventually believes the Giant's existence and views him as a national threat. Suspecting Hogarth knows more than he admits, Mansley rents a room in the home of Hogarth and his widowed mother Annie to watch him. To keep the Giant safe and well-fed, Hogarth brings him to a wrecking yard owned by beatnik artist Dean McCoppin, who reluctantly agrees to hide him. When Hogarth and the Giant witness hunters killing a deer, Hogarth explains death to the Giant, which unsettles him.

After discovering a photograph proving Hogarth's connection to the Giant, Mansley interrogates him, then summons U.S. Army General Shannon Rogard and soldiers to the scrapyard. Forewarned, Dean disguises the Giant as a sculpture to deceive the soldiers into leaving. Later, when Hogarth playfully points a water gun at the Giant, he instinctively activates one of his defensive weapons. Horrified that he could be lethal, the Giant flees toward the town in shame. Dean realizes the Giant can only attack in self-defense, and he and Hogarth pursue him.
