In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter Dylan O’Brien reflected on his career including working on his recent appearances for Saturday Night Live and Caddo Lake along with a fond career-defining time on the set of The Outfit with Mark Rylance.

Specifically, the interview asked which of the 90 minutes of his own career he felt could have a Saturday Night treatment, as the Saturday Night film dramatizes and recreates the tense 90 minutes before the television show’s historic first episode aired.

O’Brien shared his 90-minute story that working The Outfit with Rylance there was an intense scene they shot in one day and they were led to believe that was all that had been needed. O’Brien and Rylance asked director Grahm Moore if that was all for that scene or if they would be doing close-ups tomorrow, they were told, “No, I feel good. We got it.”

The next day when they showed up to set expecting a new scene, they were told Moore wanted more close-up shots of the scene from the day before. O’Brian expressed frustration about this event in the interview but elaborated on how Rylance stood up and put his foot down with, “This is absolutely unacceptable,”

O’Brien described the experiences as instructing and affirming for working as an actor in Hollywood, that craft, technique, and preparatory time be respected for actors

O’Brien work with a different director or directors during his time filming the new streaming thriller Caddo Lake, Celine Held and Logan George brought O’Brien onto the project and M. Night Shyamalan as producer. O’Brien described in the interview that he had an enlightening time working on the film with its unique setting in the natural cypress lake. The film’s location presented unique challenges, but O’Brien describes the work as rewarding with both the physical and mental challenges.
