ARTIST BIO

Dylan was born in Corpus Christy, Texas and was raised in Houston, TX and Ruidoso, NM, however his mother is from Oneida, WI and his father is from New York. Dylan's desire to be an actor goes back as far as he can remember. With not much opportunity in Ruidoso, Dylan made the tough decision to leave his public high school and friends to attend an arts boarding school in southern California for his senior year. It paid off and Dylan was accepted into the Acting Conservatory at SUNY Purchase. Dylan Graduated in 2000 with a B.F.A. in Acting, and has had some success since: National Tour of Cyrano De Bergiac(Christian) and Don Quijote(Sancho), The New York Shakespeare Festival, an episode of the "Job" with Dennis Leary, an indie film "String Theory", and another "Fight Night", a few daytime appearances, The National Playwrights Conference at the O'Neil, and various readings throughout the city. Dylan would like to thank all his relation.
