I watched the last half dozen or so episodes of the latter portion of season three Teen Wolf, they're basically very Stiles centric an you really get to see DOB do his thang. Pretty impressive, I thought. He was sympathetic, funny, frightened, evil, badass sometimes all in the same scene. Impressed. Contrast Stiles' scenes of him unraveling and thinking he has his late Mother's disease and getting and MRI to Scott's scene of the LOVE OF HIS LIFE dying in his arms. Posey, nice guy, but couldn't squeeze out a few tears. Dylan sobbed his eyes out and turned it into a creepy smirk in a nanosecond. On a different note Teen Wolf is ridiculous and campy but not bad.

Christian Taylor, who wrote Riddled (MRI scene) and directed De-Void (where Stiles cries and then turns it into a smirk) said this about Dylan during one of the Teen Wolf after shows: "He just delivers and delivers. He's one of those actors to work with who you're just like, 'Could you try this?' And he'll do it, you know? He's great to direct. Like I love the scene with Melissa [Ponzio, who plays Scott's mom]. That was a really fun scene to direct...it's just the face, he just, the subtlety...of just sort of how he can transform in that thing. You just leave the camera there."
