His parents are Byrne Piven (1929–2002) and Joyce Hiller Piven (née Goldstein), both of whom were actors and drama teachers. His elder sister is director Shira Piven, whom he has described as one of his first acting teachers; his brother-in-law is director Adam McKay. In 1999, he married Shira Piven, a film and television director.
The film received four nominations at the 94th Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Piven was born in New York City in 1965, but he and his sister, Shira, grew up in Evanston, Illinois. Piven and John Cusack were close friends from an early age, and at the age of eight Piven made his stage debut alongside his pal in a Chekhov play. "People always say, 'Wasn't it weird growing up in an acting family?'" Piven recounted to Bob Strauss, writer for the Los Angeles Daily News . "I think any other experience would've been weird…. I just assumed that everyone had a theater that they could go to, where they could improvise, do short stories, Chekhov, Salinger." Reeves plays Melissa Gold, otherwise known as Mrs. Ari, on the drama.

Was accused of sexual assault, harassment, and misconduct by eight women in 2017 and 2018, the Entourage actor took a step back from the spotlight.

And it's been especially hard for Piven given his reputation for being a hothead not unlike his foul-mouthed Entourage character Ari Gold. But as Piven tries to tell Rolling Stone, he's nothing like Ari in real life. "There are people who think there's no way after playing that character for so long that you're not that guy," he said. "There was a time when I was angry. I had road rage. But if playing a character like Ari doesn't allow you to get it out of your sys­tem, then there's something wrong with you." Following his role in Say Anything, Dean went on to appear in films including Apollo 13, How to Make An American Quilt, The End of Violence, Gattaca and Enemy of the State.
Reality TV personality Ariane Bellamar made accusations via Twitter in October 2017 that Piven had groped her. Cassidy Freeman came to Bellamar's defense via Instagram when she alluded to her own disturbing past with Piven, who the actress claims engaged in predatory behavior toward her. A week later, advertising exec Tiffany Bacon Scourby alleged Piven had sexually assaulted her in 2003.
Later that month, an extra from "Entourage" Anastasia Taneie alleged that Piven had sexually assaulted her. On November 27, 2017, CBS pulled the plug on "Wisdom of the Crowd", which Piven had been the star of, in light of the allegations as well as bad ratings. In January 2018, Buzzfeed published an article in which three more women accused Piven of sexual misconduct or inappropriate behavior. Buzzfeed News corroborated the stories with eight people who said the women had shared the encounters with them. Among his many notable roles, Piven is best known as movie agent Ari Gold in the hit series Entourage, which aired for eight seasons and won Piven three Emmy® Awards and a Golden Globe®.
