Dylan O'Brien Facts
Dylan O’Brien has had an interesting couple of years lately.
O’Brien got his big break when he got cast in the MTV show Teen Wolf as the lead’s goofy best friend, but fans saw past the bunched up abs of the majority of the cast and saw something special in O’Brien.

Now, Dylan O’Brien is back with a new film titled American Assassin before he closes out his time with the Maze Runner trilogy next year.
