Why the 13 Reasons Why star disappeared from the radar

Dylan Minnette explains why he put a stop to his acting career.

He started his acting career at the age of 8, but today Dylan Minnette wants to hang up. The 28-year-old actor, who exploded on Netflix in his role as Clay Jensen in 13 Reasons Why, has disappeared from the radar in Hollywood. And it’s an accepted choice.

“I was lucky enough to have success as an actor. I was in 13 Reasons Why and it was really popular and it definitely peaked. But it also started to feel like work to me. It had become a job. It's a job that has always been fun for me, very inspiring, but over time, acting has become a form of day job.“, he tells the Zach Sang Show.

Dylan Minnette therefore said stop, to devote himself to music and his rock group Wallows. “I think I'm going to do this for a while and try to go as far as possible. But for it to work, I have to dedicate myself to it 100%. I'm very serious about this group. It's a real group. We're going to do great things.”

So the comedy is over for Dylan Minette ? Not necessarily : “I just follow what feels natural and inspiring to me“, he replies. I initially considered returning to acting last year, but that coincided with the Hollywood strike. I feel like I still feel inspired for this. At some point, when I've done my thing with Wallows, I'll take a break from the band, and maybe then I'll have the perfect inspiration to do something again. screen“.

The last time that Dylan Minnette appeared, it was in The Dropouton Disney Plus.
