[@mione134]

I hope he comes back to acting one day. He's very talented.

Yes

[@AnoraFan-z1v]

I don’t know him from anything but 13 Reasons Why

[@mysticalmaniac2]

Because he didnt.. He was in a scream movie a couple years ago. He just doesnt act as much anymore.

[@sarahw768]

I always loved watching Dylan Minnette act in such dark or mystic movies/shows from 13 Reasons Why, Goosebumps, R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour, Scream, etc.

[@Savage.-_.Gamer1]

I loved him in Scream!! ❤

[@EPHTR8032]

Yes! He was also great on an episode of Grey’s Anatomy when he played a child who wanted ear surgery.

He was also on Supernatural!!

Dylan O'Brien, Dylan Minnette and Logan Lerman are the same person. Change my mind.

[@Nova-fh2et]

Dude, I cannot keep these people straight

[@Martha.rose2000]

Dylan Minnette and Logan Lerman I could totally see. I don't think that Dylan O'Brien fits in that category though. His energy is way different. lol

[@HigkeyRegarded007]

They're like all the Chris's lol

[@shaykynn]

It's only because they're all in a similar age range and dark headed with pretty eyes. O'Brian has like light brown eyes, minnette has small blue eyes, and lerman has very large baby blue eyes. They all look widely different.

[@OPGrimmz]

You can stay stupid not my job to fix that .

He was great in Goosebumps and Scream 5, hope he comes back

I understand. If he’s more passionate about music than acting, then that’s totally fine. As long as he is happy. No one wants a career that feels like a job or isn’t anything you enjoy. You should have a career that you 100% enjoy and that doesn’t feel like a job, a career you’re passionate about!

[@JMBE21]

I mostly remember him from playing Blizzard/Donnie Gill on Agents of SHIELD. Although later I did watch 13rw and Goosebumps since he was there. Couldn't stand 13rw after the first season and dropped it tho. Either way, his acting was very interesting everywhere.

[@Clannah]

Its so kind of Braeden that he thinks Dylan should get back to acting sometime. I think he really supports and understand Dylan in everything. I remember Dylan saying in one of the interview where he got the role in 13RW and was confused whether to accept it or not and then one of his friend motivated him to take the role. I think its Braedan. Such a great friend. No jealousy and ego and they have together since childhood❤

[@miladeseitan]

I feel so bad because I got to meet him outside the hotel Wallows were in last year touring in Argentina, and I gave him a letter I wrote for him where I mentioned how much 13RW meant to me and how much I love his acting lmao I'll forever be embarrassed💀(I did mention his talent musically as a main thing though) At the time I was such a new Wallows fan (but I'd been a fan of Dylan's acting for years) and I didn't know he didn't like to talk about 13RW or acting so much.. I got to see him starting to read the letter when they were leaving the hotel, and getting to know him was incredible he's such a charming and humble person, but I'l always cringe at myself for mentioning those things in that letter. I got the chance not many people have and I made that mistake, hope he didn't feel so annoyed reading it😩

[@Clannah]

Ohh thats cute.

[@Pnwrat]

Sadness. Need him back acting. Always wanted him to do some action/thriller/drama stuff.

[@koketsomoshira1015]

This is how I know I'm not in a privelledge position😂... Because when he said "it felt like a job" I'm like"that's why they pay us, it's not a game it employment" 😂

[@KillBill808]

fr not just that also the fact of I can just make music and it works out because I'm in that position. I try to make it in music like millions of others but it just not easy like that 😭

[@gregorioeduardo]

Many artists are acting because of their love of the medium and the way they can use to express themselves. Of course, we need money to survive which means getting paid is often important, but not always. Imagine for the few that are lucky enough to "make it" when really there are many more that will never be able to "make it" in the famous sense but preserver without making money because of their love of acting. That's not to say using it as employment to make money isn't valid. It is very valid. Respect for anyone who does what they love, either for money or pure love. Or both.

[@Theboringartist72]

I thought the same way. This whole interview is coming from a privileged place. I decided to just do music and be in a successful band… done… I used to be a successful actor but it felt like work… so I quit… I’m sitting here with my normal job just trying to pay my bills and live a normal life. Good lord.

[@carnagecandycos]

@@Theboringartist72 being privileged isnt a bad thing. just say you’re jealous you have no friends to start a band with tbh. pursuing a different career path THAT IS WORKING because you lost passion for the other career path, IS NOT ENTITLEMENT

[@Lx3strix]

it’s not a “game” it’s about liking what you do. If I start painting because it’s fun, why would I keep painting when I no longer find enjoyment in it, if I have the opportunity to do a different job that pays just as much if not more as selling my paintings? Especially if I find more enjoyment in my new job. He may be privilege, but opportunity (which this is an example of) isn’t privilege.

I was actually wondering why we don't see him no more. Hope he comes back!

[@miguelcontreras-rivera5245]

I hope to see him act again

[@cine_hazique]

He was great in Don't Breathe

[@JaredThaBoi]

I can see him playing as Edward in a Twilight remake as he kind of looks like Robert but he looks more like Shane Harper who played Spencer on Good Luck Charlie

[@Scoobuddisspellbook]

I have seen many of Dylan’s acting career but I respect him as an actor and musician and my favorite is definitely Scream!

[@Zeddyboi86]

God DAYUM, I didn’t realize how much of a deep bassy voice Dylan has!

[@inserthahafunniusername9656]

I KNOW he sounds so different when he sings so it caught me off guard 😭

[@chrisstaley682]

He was so awesome in Scream (2022).

[@15iannava]

Wow. As soon as he felt like acting is more of a job, he quit. I wish I could also easily decide on my career just like that.

[@cre4754]

Good to know he actually took like a break to focus on his band I honestly thought he gave up entirely. I really like him in the first season of 13 Reasons Why. See you soon Dylan❤

[@Clannah]

If he said he will come back in 2026, he will comeback for sure. I have noticed Dylan keeping his words. So i am pretty sure he will act again in 2026.

[@AnaTaylor-me8kr]

Dylan's such a good actor! ❤

The goosebumps boy

[@IslandPunchProductions]

Growing up i always confused dylan and logan lerman lol. I remember dylan from the goosebumps movie, Alexander horrible no good very bad day and ofc 13rw. I had no clue he was in a band until just now. Im definitely gonna check out there stuff.

[@ragingbull2271]

Really hope he continues acting. I've been a big fan of his ever since his memorable performance in the great, criminally underrated/underseen Let Me In. Him along with Sawyer Barth are 2 of the most promising younger talents of the industry today.

[@onlyhereforNF]

It’s good I suppose that he has other passions like the music etc that he feels more inspired and happy to do, I’m guessing that the music doesn’t feel so much like a job and more fun but it sounds to me like he may come back to acting at some point

[@joemanco1075]

First thing I remember him from was Awake. I really liked that show

I feel that. Like in Scream 5 I didn’t really feel his acting like in the other shows or movies. But then again his acting is pretty much the same but I don’t mind it.

[@KillBill808]

true, I totally feel what he is saying but it comes off privileged as hell like I wake up this morning and I want to do this because I can since I make money either way.

he admits that it's privileged though, in this interview itself. he isn't acting like that's something normal or relatable in any way

[@KillBill808]

@@shaquilleoatmeal7389 true but the main comment isn't saying that. If ur privileged it be nice to use that for the greater good instead of for urself. But that can be said about everyone in Hollywood tho.

[@jaycookie2912]

​@@KillBill808 that can be said about almost anyone, anywhere. You could also be doing something to better the world. Are you saving lives? Are you donating food, money or old clothes regularly? Are you even aiding those around you to the limits of your possibilities? I truth, I find it ridiculous that we expect rich people to solve our worlds problems, that are caused by other corrupt rich people. Does money indicate some kind of higher moral standard? You're wealthy to some impoverished child in an undereveloped area, what are you doing to make a change in their world? What we should be doing is focusing on our governments anf how they're active participants in the suffering in the world. If we paid more attention to stuff like that instead of grown up child actors that are pursuing one socially meaningless artistic endeavour instead of another, then maybe our irritation as regular people would actually get us somewhere.
