Critical reviews
Dylan O'Brien is an American actor. 
O'Brien was born August 26, 1991 in New York City, the
son of Lisa, a former actress who also ran an acting
school, and Patrick O'Brien, a camera operator. And he
has a sister Julia.  His father is of Irish descent, and his
mother is of Italian, English and Spanish ancestry
He grew up in Springfield Township, New Jersey, until
the age of twelve, when he and his family moved
to Hermosa Beach, California. 
After graduating from Mira Costa High School in 2009, he considered pursuing sports broadcasting and possibly working for
the New York Mets.  At 14, O'Brien began posting original videos onto his YouTube channel. With the videos developing, a
local producer and director approached him about doing work for a web series while in his senior year of high school.  While
working on the webseries, O'Brien met an actor who connected him with a manager. He had planned to attend Syracuse
University as a sports broadcasting major, but decided to pursue an acting career instead. He was also the drummer for the
independent rock band Slow Kids at Play.
The role O'Brien is perhaps best
known for is Stiles Stilinski
of Teen Wolf. Stiles is a dorky,
clumsy, and extremely sarcastic
character.
In 2014, he was cast as the main
character in the fiction novel
adaptation, The Maze Runner.
