"He may have got his start making home videos with his sister for YouTube, but this month, Dylan O&amp;#39;Brien is ready for a slightly bigger screen with his debut role on MTV&amp;#39;s Teen Wolf. In what may be the biggest week of his life to date, with the premiere of his new show, not to mention being a presenter at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards, Dylan found time to chat with Teen Vogue about his upcoming film The First Time co-starring Victoria Justice and Britt Robertson, his embarrassing high school &amp;quot;big-screen&amp;quot; debut, and the inside-scoop on this summer&amp;#39;s most anticipated new series.\n\nTeen Vogue: You&amp;#39;ve got a big week ahead with the 2011 MTV Movie Awards, the premiere of Teen Wolf . . .\n\n Dylan O&amp;#39;Brien: Everyone is super excited about it and I&amp;#39;m just like, &amp;quot;Oh god!&amp;quot; My anxiety has taken over. MTV called and we are going to present, but I just can&amp;#39;t get excited about it.\n\nTV: It&amp;#39;s the MTV Movie Awards!\n\n DO: See that&amp;#39;s the thing, I don&amp;#39;t even know what I&amp;#39;m in for.\n\nTV: What are you wearing?\n\n DO: I got a few outfits yesterday. They&amp;#39;re pretty sharp. I never have an opinion about clothes and know nothing about fashion.\n\nTV: So how exactly did you get into acting?\n\n DO: I moved to California when I was twelve and I got a video camera and made little movies because I didn&amp;#39;t have any friends yet. I would force my sister to make these movies with me\u2014which became my YouTube channel. A girl in my Spanish class found my YouTube videos and showed them to my teacher. At the end of class one day my teacher said, &amp;quot;pack up, movie time,&amp;quot; and she dropped down this screen and put on my videos. I started freaking out. Everyone was laughing and I just ran out. The girl who had told my teacher didn&amp;#39;t understand why I left, and she said, &amp;quot;You&amp;#39;re really funny, you should be an actor.&amp;quot; So that was one of the first times I thought about it.\n\nTV: You should tell her to watch on Sunday.\n\n DO: I&amp;#39;m actually still in touch with her!\n\nTV: Give me the inside scoop on Teen Wolf. Why should people watch?\n\n DO: Aside from the fact that I&amp;#39;m in it [he laughs], I think it&amp;#39;s going to be really interesting because here we are taking on this genre that&amp;#39;s been\u2014well not beaten to death\u2014 but is everywhere and we&amp;#39;re offering a refreshing show. I haven&amp;#39;t seen Twilight or Vampire Diaries so it&amp;#39;s hard for me for to say, but I know people will be surprised to see what it&amp;#39;s really like, because it appears to be very Twilight-y, but people will see it&amp;#39;s different\u2014quirky and unique.\n\nTV: I think people will really love your character.\n\n DO: Hopefully people won&amp;#39;t think I&amp;#39;m annoying. From day one, I knew my character [Stiles] would be the comedic relief, but also have these sincere, real moments of panic. When I auditioned, I read it how I saw it: A kid trying to convince his best friend that he is a werewolf. It could be a really silly topic, but I just tried to make it real\u2014I guess it worked.\n\nTV: I know you guys were a very tight-knit cast, what was your favorite memory filming in Atlanta?\n\n DO: Tyler Posey\u2014you know Tyler, he&amp;#39;s going to be a wolf on this series [he laughs]\u2014well me and the Tylers [Posey and Hoechlin] lived together. The entire first three months of shooting, we all started videotaping ourselves scaring each other. We figured we would have a whole compilation of us scaring each other\u2014we haven&amp;#39;t put it together yet\u2014 but we have so many videos!\n\nfacebook dialogPinterest\n\n Photograph: Gabriel Goldberg TV: That&amp;#39;ll have to be a DVD extra.\n\n DO: I know, right?\n\nTV: We&amp;#39;re big Britt Robertson fans here at Teen Vogue, so I have to ask about your new film The First Time.\n\n DO: What an experience! Britt and John [the director], the three of us, just became really close over the course of shooting. Britt is amazing, she is such a special person. The film is this really sincere, sweet story that totally came from the heart. I can&amp;#39;t even describe it, I mean I don&amp;#39;t even know how the movie will turn out [he laughs], but it&amp;#39;s very Say Anything, which I feel hasn&amp;#39;t been done for a while. I literally came from filming a wolf show for six months to this real, down-to-earth story that every kid experiences at some point\u2014discovering what love is. Not in some cheesy film, but a real story. It was really nice to be able to tell that story and work with those people.\n\nTV: You also have another film, High Road. . .\n\n DO: Which is currently at festivals and is doing surprisingly well. I still haven&amp;#39;t seen a wink of it, but my parents saw it. They&amp;#39;re brutally honest people, but they said it&amp;#39;s really fun.\n\nTV: You really had no idea what you were entering into when filming it.\n\n DO: For me, it was a really cool thing to be able to work with these amazing people and have a chance to learn improv from the best. I didn&amp;#39;t have any expectations because we shot the whole thing in twelve days, with two cameras. I would get to base camp in the morning, get into wardrobe, get in a van to go to location and we would literally shoot a scene in the van on the way. It was so indie, I felt like I was making my YouTube videos again\u2014kind of.\n\nRapid Fire: Dylan takes on Teen Vogue&amp;#39;s Quintessential 5 Questions\n\nTV: Pop-culture guilty pleasure?\n\n DO: I&amp;#39;m so boring, I check fantasy baseball and watch The Mets, but I don&amp;#39;t feel guilty about that. I guess Selena Gomez, but it&amp;#39;s wrong saying that cause she is dating Biebs.\n\nTV: Most played song on your iPod?\n\n DO: &amp;quot;Officer&amp;quot; by Slightly Stoopid.\n\nTV: Favorite sweet?\n\n DO: Strawberry Jolly Ranchers.\n\nTV: If you could have any superpower, what would it be?\n\n DO: To be able to hit a 500-foot homerun\u2014even though some dudes can just do that.\n\nTV: What are you reading right now?\n\n DO: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Got to get it done before the movie comes out."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
