Acting Career
However, the young man never got formal acting training. In 2011, he auditioned for a new MTV youth series and unexpectedly landed the lead role. However, he decided he'd be better suited to play the main character's friend.





In 2018, Dylan voiced the transformer Bumblebee in the eponymous blockbuster. "Dylan gave the character all the best qualities of his voice," Paramount producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura praised his efforts.

He took the lead role as a man facing an acute midlife crisis in the psychological thriller "Flashback" (2021). His character gets caught in an inexplicable time loop. Slowly losing his mind, he must choose his version of the future. On the set, Dylan met Maika Monroe - she played his former love Cindy....I loved the world where the action takes place, and how good-natured this film is. Despite its originality, 'Love and Monsters' feels like those old movies they don't make anymore. I liked this unique coming-of-age story in unique conditions. At the same time, I liked the monsters. I was sold on the originality of this kind of apocalypse - monsters forced people underground, essentially ending the world. And I liked the fact that the monsters are the result of real mutations.

2022 was marked for Dylan by work on the gangster drama "The Outfit" and the drama "Not Okay" with Zoey Deutch.
