20 More TV Acting Performances That Are Totally Flawless

19. Dylan O'Brien - Teen Wolf

I May Destroy You
MTV

Teen Wolf is far from high art, but its loyal fanbase and impressive popularity nonetheless makes it one of the defining teen fantasy-dramas of its generation.

Aside from the striking horror visuals, palpable teen angst and grisly action sequences, the show's best aspect is its cast, which is led by great performances from Tyler Posey, Holland Roden, J.R Bourne and countless supporting stars.

But the best of them all is easily Dylan O'Brien, the show's break-out star who is currently enjoying a well-deserved Hollywood movie career. In Teen Wolf, he plays Stiles, the uber-sarcastic, level-headed problem solver of the show's core gang.

As the only major human in a group made up of werewolves, banshees and everything in-between, Stiles is the brains of the operation, and also the show's most tragic figure. Whilst his friends grow stronger, he continuously finds himself in harm's way, battling to keep his family and friends safe, and O'Brien ability to play hilarious sidekick, possessed big bad and emotionally scarred victim is what keeps the show from slipping too far into all-out melodrama.

I get to write about what I love, so that's pretty cool. Every great film should seem new every time you see it. Be excellent to each other.
