Biography and film career
Dylan O'Brien was born in 1991 in New York, USA, but soon after his birth the family moved to Springfield, where the future actor spent his childhood. His family is directly related to cinema: his mother Lisa O'Brien (before marriage - Rhodes) played minor roles in several projects and became a producer of two films.

But fate decreed a little differently, and Dylan O'Brien never received a higher education - he was invited to the leading role in the series "Teen Wolf" (in some translations - "Werewolf"). However, he refused the main role, agreeing to the role of a friend of the protagonist. He justified his refusal by the fact that he was not yet confident enough in his abilities for such a serious work, and the role of a botanist seemed closer to him. In the series, he has established himself as a talented actor who does an excellent job with improvisation and humor.
In 2011, O'Brien was invited to the lead role in the teenage comedy about love "The First Time", and then in a number of similar films. But the actor achieved his real success in 2014, when he played the main role in the film adaptation of the books "The Maze Runner". There he plays a teenage boy named Thomas, who is in an unknown place with other young people. In 2015 and 2018, two more parts of the fantastic film were released.
In addition to working in the trilogy, Dylan accepts many other offers. In 2015, he was fortunate enough to work on the same site with many famous American actors in the film Deep Sea Horizon.

On the set of the final part of the film adaptation of the "Maze Runner" trilogy, the actor received very serious injuries to his whole body: he broke several bones, injured the skin on his face and, hitting his head on the asphalt, suffered a concussion. It happened during the actor's independent performance of a difficult and dangerous stunt in a moving car. The premiere of the film had to be postponed for more than a year, but Dylan quickly recovered, recovered and returned to work.
The actor met his love at the age of 20 on the set of the film "For the First Time". The actress Britt Robertson became his chosen one. More than once information about the separation of young actors has crept through the media, but it is impossible to find out from Dylan O'Brien himself, because he does not comment on issues related to his personal life.
