A Beginners Guide to Dylan O'Brien
Written by Creator Molly Fay on Creators.co
If you've just started watching Teen Wolf or The Maze Runner or you're wondering who that hottie is in Season 2 Episode 23 of New Girl, then I have the answer for you.
It's Dylan O'Brien.
If you're worried that now you've seen him once and now feel compelled to watch everything he's ever been in makes you insane, then it does, but it's okay, it happens to all of us and this article is here the help you through it.
Here's everything you need to know about Dylan O'Brien.
Dylan was born in New York and grew up in New Jersey until the age of twelve, when him and his family moved to California. At the age of 14 Dylan began to upload original Youtube videos. You may know him for singing such hits as 'Wannabe' by 'Spice Girls'.
Although his Youtube videos may seem all in good humor, they were actually the making of the Dylan O'Brien we all know today. It was through watching his videos that he was approached by a local producer and director to star in a webseries. During the webseries was when he met an actor who introduced him to a manager.
You really never know what's just round the corner. (Or what a rendition of Wannabe can do for you.)
2011 was a big year for Dylan as, after many auditions, he got a lead roll in MTV's Teen Wolf, a TV adaptation of the 1985 film starring Michael J. Fox. He was originally called to audition for the role of Scott McCall but after reading the script he decided that Stiles Stilinski was more up his street and auditioned for that part instead. I think I can speak for all Teen Wolf fans when I say that both Dylan and the casting director made the right decision with that one, as Dylan is the perfect Stiles.
Also, in 2011 he starred in the film High Road alongside Ed Helms (The Hangover, We're the Millers) and Rob Riggle (Modern Family, The Hangover, 21/22 Jump Street and any other late night comedy you can think of), about a drug dealer on the run with a 16 year old boy who thinks the police are following him but it's in fact just the kids dad and his fake police officer friend. Everyone loves a road-trip comedy and the film actually has a really good cast but unfortunately it was a load of rubbish and was more like a disturbing documentary. If this article was a review of just this film, I would give it half a gold star and recommend you never waste your time watching it.
Teen Wolf was a hit and was renewed for a second season which aired on June 3rd 2012. Also in 2012, Dylan played the character of Dave in the film The First Time, about two school kids who fall head over heels in love with each other over the space of one weekend. The film itself is cute but slow, but it's difficult to stop watching as Dylan is just to die for.
This is the part of the article that is going to break your heart, so be prepared.
Life can be so tough sometimes.
I refuse to believe this man is 51 years old.

Stephen Amell To Receive CinemaCon's 'Male Star of Tomorrow' Award
Written by Creator Rose Moore
Stephen Amell will be adding another award to his shelf this year, as he scoops "Male Star of Tomorrow" from the National Association of Theater Owners at CinemaCon.
Now in its fifth year as CinemaCon, the convention hosts the Big Screen Achievement Awards, and today Mitch Neuhauser (managing director of the con) announced that they would be honoring Arrow star Amell.
Already making his mark on the small screen, Stephen Amell is poised to break out this summer on the big screen with his starring role in ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. We are excited to honor this exciting up-and-coming actor with this year’s Male Star of Tomorrow Award.
Previous award-winners include Britt Robertson (2015), Chadwick Boseman (2014), Armie Hammer (2013), Taylor Kitsch (2012) and Chris Hemsworth (2011).
Amell has previously won a Gemini award for his role in ReGenesis in 2007, and has been nominated for thirteen others - eleven of which are for Arrow. As well as his breakout role in the comic book series, Amell is involved with the CW's two other superhero shows (The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow), the connected animated mini-series (Vixen) and will be co-starring in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows as Casey Jones this summer.
His star is definitely one on the rise, and with all three of the live-action DC comic shows on the CW recently renewed for another season, it seems that his fame as the hooded archer will only keep growing. Amell is also active on social media and does a huge amount of charity work, raising money for a range of causes. He also stars in a reality roadtrip series about wine, Dudes Being Dudes in Wine Country, along with various wine events at conventions.
Amell absolutely deserves this award, and hopefully it will become one of many, many more in the future.

In the realm of rising stars over the past few years, very few have launched as high and fast as Taron Egerton. The dedication and charm he devoted to the role of Gary 'Eggsy' Unwin in Kingsman: The Secret Service were justly rewarded with international recognition and fame as he joined the ranks of talented names to watch over the coming years. Now while he's only been in the spotlight for a year or so, he's got interesting history as well as an intriguing future in cinema. Most recently you can catch him showing off his acting chops in Eddie the Eagle where he plays record-breaking Olympic long ski jumper, Eddie Edwards.
3 Colin Firth Roles That Have Set Women's Expectations When It Comes to Men
One person who has created unbelievably high standards for the male collective is British Oscar winner Colin Firth. The 55-year-old has been in the film industry for over 3 decades and has a habit of being cast as either a leading man or a stiff-yet-interesting romantic interest for the average or relatable ingenue. He has made it difficult, with his posh persona, for women to allow for anything less than approachable cavalier disposition from their own day to day. Here are 3 of Colin Firth's standard setting roles, ranging anywhere from romance to action.
1. Galahald from Kingsman: The Secret Service
We start off this list with one of Firth's most recent films. Kingsman is an action-adventure movie, focused on a secret society of British spies that protect the world from secret terrorist threats. Firth was 55 years old when he co-starred alongside 26-year-old, Taron Egerton, and gave Egerton a run for his money when it came to the execution of stunts and action sequences. Firth was almost superhuman while he performed in the legendary church scene. But why would this film about action, adventure, sex, and gadgets make this list compared to more emotional and dramatic roles?
Suits. I believe that there are two types of filmgoers, those who are interested in the types of muscle-bound rippling bodies and sex appeal of movies like Magic Mike, and those who are more interested in a sharp-witted and sharp-dressed man who can think and talk his way out of any situation. Personally, l refer to these kinds of clever, well-dressed films as suit porn, and they are slowly being incorporated more and more into American Films, with a similar type of man being featured in last year's summer reboot, The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
2. Jamie from Love, Actually
Although he may not have had a prominent role in this ensemble cast, Firth managed to give us an enduring performance as Jamie in Love Actually. Jamie is one of the first characters featured in this film, with his storyline focused on his recovery from a deceiving partner. Jamie decides to get away by retreating to his lakehouse in Marseille, France, where he's introduced to his new Portuguese housekeeper, Aurelia. She knows no English and he doesn't speak her native Portuguese, so both of them manage to communicate enough to get by. But the relationship that grows between Aurelia and Jamie is one that flourishes on what isn't said. There is a definite spark between them both, and both end up expressing their passionate feelings for each other, but instead of the typical love story moment of kissing in each others arms, the language barrier between the two of them blocked what could have been his soulmate.
So what could Jamie do, sit and wallow? Instead, he attempts to overcome his lingual disadvantage of not being able to express his thoughts to the woman he loves. Jamie attempts to learn Portuguese to tell Aurelia his feelings, and that's when every woman watching the film for the first time simultaneously looked at their significant other with a look of slight disappointment. Most women crave a grandiose gesture as an expression of affection, and this is something that Firth's display of Jamie's love nails perfectly.
3. Mark Darcy from Bridget Jones's Diary
I saved this entry for the last spot on my list because it is one of his best romantic roles. In 2001's Bridget Jones Diary, Firth plays London-based human rights attorney, Mark Darcy, who knew Bridget as a child. Darcy is reluctant about Bridget at first, seeing nothing but all of her flaws, but by the end of the movie he famously learns to love her, "Just the way she is." And that level of acceptance is what set all women's expectations for what they look for in a partner, someone who will love them for all of her shortcomings.
You may be wondering why I didn't choose Mr. Darcy from the Pride and Prejudice television miniseries from the 1990s over Mark Darcy. It was reported that the author of the original novel for Bridget Jones's Diary, said she based Mark Darcy off of Colin Firth's portrayal of Darcy from the miniseries. So in a way, Mark Darcy is almost entirely Colin Firth's creation.
Colin Firth's roles have shown people everywhere that there is no such thing as standards that are too high, because underneath a grand appearance, there can also be a loving, flawed person who will love you for who you are. The important thing to remember from representations of fantastic leading men is that you can look to your favorite characters in films and allow yourself to find your own leading man in your own life. You can look and find someone who encompasses every trait you love outside of the silver screen.

Tom Welling recently spoke to Buzzfeed about his 10 year-run experience as Clark Kent/Superman on Smallville. He seemed very grateful and proud of the current success of Arrow and The Flash on The CW. Smallville is the show that sowed the seeds for the explosion of superheroes TV shows that we know today.

1. Thor was born in Norway. In a cave.
Before the time of Thor's birth, Odin sought to father a son who had roots in both Asgard and Midgard (Earth), and so he chose Jord, also known as Gaea, who was an Elder Goddess who once inhabited Earth. Odin's reasoning behind this is it would give Thor power deriving from both realms, thus uniting them and making Thor stronger than anyone from either realm. Odin carved a cave out in Norway for Jord to give birth in, and, months later, Odin brought Thor back to Asgard where he and his wife, Frigga, raised him.

While we still don't know Glenn's fate on The Walking Dead, chances are he hasn't made it out alive, so I would like to make a post in honor of the man behind the character!
