It may seem like there are always new stars appearing in Hollywood, many of who quickly fade into the background while others shine and rise to the top. Max Minghella and Dylan O’Brien from The Internship are two fresh faces on the scene and are definitely ones to watch out for. These rising stars have bright futures ahead!
Get to know these two young stars and find out more about what they’ve been doing over the past few years.
Meet Dylan O’Brien for “The First Time”
In 2012, Dylan O’Brien played the role of a young high school boy in the romantic comedy The First Time. He had previously taken a part in High Road, an improvised comedy, as a 16-year-old stoner. The romantic teen flick, however, showed a deeper side to O’Brien. His character, Dave Hodgman, connects with an attractive girl from a different high school and ends up experiencing love for the first time. O’Brien was endearing and certainly caught the eye of many teenage girls, who swooned over his adorable smile.
Vote Yes for Max Minghella
Although Minghella started his career in 2005, he really hit the big time in 2011 as the young Ben Harpen, a staff member on Governor Mike Morris’ campaign in The Ides of March. Minghella had the opportunity to work alongside huge industry names including George Clooney, Ryan Gosling, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. The film made it clear that Minghella would have a bright future ahead, showcasing his ability to stand out even in smaller roles.
Sink Your Teeth into O’Brien
In the huge TV series Teen Wolf, O’Brien makes his name as one of the leading characters, Stiles. A student at Beacon Hills, Stiles had his world turned upside down when his best friend became a werewolf. O’Brien captures the audience’s attention with his sarcastic sense of humor and depiction of a truly loyal friend. His role on Teen Wolf is certainly his biggest claim to fame, but there’s no doubt it is just a steppingstone to the future of this young star.
Add Minghella to Your Social Network
Prior to The Ides of March, Minghella made an appearance on the big screen as Divya Narendra in The Social Network, the hit movie depicting the story behind Facebook. Divya was a brilliant rival of Mark Zuckerberg, infuriated by the fact that he was not making it big with a site such as Facebook. Minghella’s talent was evident in his bitter and angry portrayal of Divya.
The Stars Align
The young stars finally came together with The Internship (available on Blu-ray and DVD on October 22nd), where Minghella and O’Brien both depict young interns for Google alongside Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. O’Brien, who is on the same team as Vaughn and Wilson, plays a nerdy guy who spends the majority of his time staring at his cell phone. Minghella plays their opponent, Graham Hawtrey who bullies the rest of the interns.
