Early Life

Dylan grew up in Springfield Township, New Jersey, before his family moved to Hermosa Beach, California.

Before acting became his main career, O'Brien was interested in sports, comedy, and filmmaking.

Teen Wolf

O'Brien's major break came in 2011 when he was cast as Stiles Stilinski on "Teen Wolf." Though the show was built around Tyler Posey's werewolf character, O'Brien quickly became one of the series' breakout performers. His role mixed comedy, nervous energy, loyalty, intelligence, and emotional vulnerability, making Stiles one of the most popular characters on the show.

"Teen Wolf" aired for six seasons and gave O'Brien a devoted international fan base. It also proved that he could carry dramatic scenes as well as comedy, which helped him transition into larger film roles.

The Maze Runner and Film Career

In 2014, O'Brien starred as Thomas in "The Maze Runner," based on the young adult novel by James Dashner. The film was a commercial success and launched a movie franchise that also included "Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials" and "Maze Runner: The Death Cure."

During filming of "The Death Cure," O'Brien suffered severe injuries in an on-set accident. Production was delayed, and the experience became a major turning point in his career. He later returned to finish the film, which was released in 2018.

Outside the franchise, O'Brien starred in the action thriller "American Assassin," the post-apocalyptic adventure "Love and Monsters," the crime drama "The Outfit," the satire "Not Okay," and Taylor Swift's short film "All Too Well." His later work has shown a clear effort to avoid being trapped in one genre or one type of role.
