Cast in Teen Wolf

O’Brien is cast in Teen Wolf and will play the character Stiles.

It was a crazy process. When I actually had the part, I had ideas for what I wanted to do with it, I was almost afraid to see the original Teen Wolf movie because I’d see that character and find out I’m completely wrong.

Auditions for Teen Wolf

O’Brien auditions for Teen Wolf:

My character isn’t original. He’s based off of Stiles in the original movie so, when I first read this pilot “Teen Wolf” script, I didn’t know about the movie and I fell in love with the Stiles character, which is testament to Jeff Davis’s writing because that’s what the audience is supposed to do. I wanted to go in and audition for Stiles.

My dad’s a camera operator in the industry and my mom was an actress when she was young and she had an acting school when I was a little kid so I’ve always been around the industry. My parents let me watch all the movies so I’m a movie geek.
