Dylan Baker was born on October 7, 1959 in Syracuse, New York. He is married to actress Becky Ann Baker (nee Gelke). He attended William and Mary College in Williamburg, Virginia. He appears in a non-speaking role as an arresting officer in a United States Postal Service training film, apparently made sometime in the 1980s, warning of the dangers of mail theft. The film, narrated by a characteristically grim Edward James Olmos in his “Lieutenant Castillo” mode, is entitled “Was It Worth It?” (you can probably guess the answer) and is still being shown to new USPS employees.
