The filmmakers preferred Tyler to 2,000 young actors, who went through casting for the role. For filming, 14-year-old Hoechlin had to learn to drive a car, which he did with great pleasure (although he was still ensured by the stuntman).

Shooting in the series took the young actor a lot of time, but he found time to play the lead role in the film Melvin Smarty and the comedy The Sticks, in which he appeared as the sexy policeman Clark Russell.

After taking a break from work on the TV show in 2014, Hoechlin began acting in two full-length films: the comedy Everybody Wants Some!!, about a group of baseball players in the 1980s, and the sports drama Undrafted. Both films were released on big screens in 2016.

In July and September 2017, three episodes of the 6th season of Teen Wolf were released, in which Hoechlin’s character, who missed the 5th season, appeared again.

In 2018, a number of films starring Tyler were released, including the third part of the sensational saga Fifty Shades Freed, about the complicated love relationship.

The lovers did not comment on the situation at all, but according to reports, their short love-affair ended at the beginning of 2016. However, some fans suggested that the photos in Rome were made for the sake of PR since at the time Alena had an affair with German footballer Clemens Fritz.
