was an actor in an episode of the sitcom Frasier and appeared as himself on the HBO series Arli$$ in the 2002 episode "Playing it Safe". On June 3, 2022, Bean was on a Sportsnet LA television broadcast of the Dodger's pregame show for Pride Night, in his role as MLB's Ambassador for Inclusion. When Bean mentioned Glenn Burke, the first out gay man in MLB history, whose career was cut short by the Dodgers and other teams because of his orientation, the broadcast cut away. It went back for a moment as Bean could be heard saying "[Burke's] ending was not a happy one," and cut to commercial. The broadcast did not go back to Bean again.
