Behind the Scenes[]


Trivia[]

  • Dylan originally auditioned for the role of Klaus Baudelaire, however the part was given to Louis Hynes. He made it pretty far in the casting for Klaus, but was ultimately called back to read for Duncan Quagmire. He ended up booking the part of Duncan, and later, Quigley Quagmire as well.
    • Furthermore, Dylan had not been aware previously that he would be portraying both Duncan and Quigley. He had just auditioned for Duncan.[3]
  • Prior to shooting the climbing scene in "The Slippery Slope: Part Two", the director had told him and Malina Weissman (who plays Violet Baudelaire), that the two would have to kiss. Being actors, the two were used to requests such as this, and didn't think much of it. However, right before they were about to shoot the scene, the director told them he was "just kidding", and so the kiss was never shot.[4]
  • Dylan was originally a guest star on ASOUE, but after having a main role in Season 2 and 3, he became a main actor.
  • Dylan and Avi Lake are the same age, however, she is a few months older.
    • Additionally, they were both born in 2004, which is coincidentally the year the film was released.
  • Acting comes naturally for Dylan, as he has had very little training in the field. He has stated that he has taken a few classes before, and will occasionally be coached for a specific audition or callback. However, most of the time, acting comes naturally. [5]
  • According to Dylan, he's been acting since he was four.[6]
  • Dylan has portrayed three different characters by the name of Sam.
    • He portrayed a young Sam Winchester in Supernatural, Sam Thomas in The Baby-Sitters Club, and Sam Price in Ruby and the Well.
  • Malina Weissman portrayed a young Kara Zor-El (Supergirl) in the first and second seasons of TV's Supergirl, while Kingwell portrayed a young Clark Kent (Superman) in the first season of TV's Superman & Lois.
  • Dylan has two sisters; Kayla (older) and Adysson (younger).
  • Like Duncan, Dylan's name has two syllables and starts with a "d" and ends with an "n".
