As soon as season 2 of the Netflix original series dropped, Dylan took to Twitter to warn fans about the new season's graphic content. The star wrote: "Season 2 of 13 Reasons Why, like season 1, can be unflinching, dark and even hard to watch at times. please view with caution, or with loved ones. if you or anyone you know would like resources after watching, please go to http://13reasonswhy.info . thank you."

14. He gets mistaken for actor Logan Lerman all the time. "Recently I was at the airport, and before I even got on my flight, I got three different Percy Jackson encounters," he told EW. "One time, this guy at this music festival would not let me off the hook that I was Percy Jackson. He was like, 'Quit lying to me, bro, I know you're Percy Jackson.' I was like, 'I swear to God, I'm not Percy Jackson.'"
