Fox

Known for: Teen Wolf, The Maze Runner film series, American Assassin

Dylan O'Brien first burst onto our screens back in 2011 as "Stiles" Stilinski in MTV's Teen Wolf. He wasted no time impressing viewers with his strong debut and he, quite frankly, stole the show everytime he was on screen over its seven-year run, with the character being involved in more major storylines as the show went on. His other major role would come in 2014 when he starred in YA adaptation The Maze Runner — a role he reprised in the film's sequels in 2015 and 2018.

Even though both Teen Wolf and The Maze Runner franchise are now in his past, O'Brien will continue to go from strength to strength in the coming years as he has already had leading roles in other properties Deepwater Horizon and American Assassin, acting alongside Hollywood veterans Mark Wahlberg and Michael Keaton respectively.

In a mere seven years, O'Brien has already highlighted his versatile acting range. Whether he's portraying the badass protagonist or the trusty and effective best friend, he always manages to capture his audiences' hearts and he will likely continue to do so for a long time to come.
