Dylan O'Brien was born in New York City, to Lisa Rhodes, a former actress who also ran an acting school, and Patrick B. O'Brien, a camera operator. His father is of Irish descent and his mother is of English, Spanish, and Italian ancestry. Dylan grew up in Springfield Township, Union County, New Jersey, before moving with his family to Hermosa Beach, California when he was 12 years old. Before getting bit by the acting bug, Dylan planned to attend film school and become a cinematographer, just like his father. But once he landed the role of Scott's (Tyler Posey) goofy sidekick Stiles on Teen Wolf (2011), he decided to put off school (he was initially under consideration for the role of Scott, but he was more interested in playing Stiles).
Dylan has developed an extensive YouTube following for a series of comic online shorts which he directed, produced and starred in. He made his film debut as one of the stars of the entirely improvised independent feature film High Road (2011), directed by Upright Citizens Brigade. O'Brien's first lead role in a film was playing Dave in the comedy The First Time (2012), opposite Britt Robertson and directed by Jonathan Kasdan. He subsequently had a supporting role, playing tech expert Stuart, in the Vince Vaughn/Owen Wilson comedy The Internship (2013), and headlined the fantasy adventure film The Maze Runner (2014), also starring Will Poulter and Kaya Scodelario, as well as its sequel, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015) and the final movie, The Death Cure (2018). He landed the role of Stu in the first episode of Weird City (2019) and also got the role of Sam Taylor in the first episode of Amazing stories (2020). He made five other movies in the meantime, Love and Monsters, Flashback, Maximum Truth, Not Okay and The outfit. He also did one short film: All too well, produced by Taylor Swift and stared in the third episode of the third season in The Other Two.- Cinematographer

Born at the Jersey shore, Dylan cut his teeth working in film and live television while working his way through college. His passion to create beautiful images sent him across the country to Los Angeles to pursue his career as a cinematographer. In L.A., Dylan refined his skills and sharpened his eye working on television shows for Discovery, History, A&E, Nat Geo, PBS, and SpikeTV, while also shooting independent films.
Throughout his career, Dylan has traveled the world and collaborated with directors to create unique programs and innovative shooting styles ranging from the "raw & intense" look of Raze, to the energetic "in your face" reality of Monster Garage, to the "get it done and make it beautiful" cinematography of 1000 Ways to Die.
His work ethic demands untiring dedication and focus to bring the director's vision to life and his only rule is there are no problems, only solutions.
Exploring advancements in filmmaking inspires Dylan to create visual styles that blend new technology with art in his cinematography. Without light there is only darkness and if it's dark, then it's just radio.- Dylan O'Brien is known for Shakira: Tú (1998).
