13 Reasons Why actor, Dylan Minnette, finally explained why he 'quit' acting at the peak of his career.
In his latest interview on the Zach Sang Show, the 27-year-old star, revealed he took a hiatus from acting to focus on music with his band Wallows.
“I was fortunate to find success in [acting],” said the star who has been working as an actor since he was 8 years old.
He further said, “I was on 13 Reasons Why and it was really popular and definitely reached a peak in what I’ve had in acting."
“But it also started to feel like a bit of a job. And I was in a very fortunate position, it was always fun for me, always really inspiring, but then it was just starting to feel like just a job," the Scream star continued,
Talking about his passion for music, Dylan said, “I feel like I’m in a position now where I can just kind of like do that for a while and get this the farthest it can be.”
“The only way that’s gonna happen is if I put my 100 percent time and energy into it and take it very seriously and show the world that we all take this very seriously. This is a real band, we’re going to do real band things.” the Saving Grace actor explained.
For those unversed, Dylan was last seen in 2022’s film Scream and Hulu series The Dropout.
