The character of Jonathan Byers in the hit Netflix series Stranger Things is played by actor Dylan Minnette.
Minnette began his acting career at the age of 8, appearing in several commercials. He made his feature film debut in the 2010 movie 21 and Over. Following that, he had a recurring role on Nickelodeon’s hit series Drake and Josh and then starred in Let Me In and TV’s Awake.
He landed the role of Jonathan Byers when he was almost 17 years old. He was the perfect fit for playing the role of the older brother to young Will Byers, as well as the love interest of Nancy Wheeler. Jonathan is a sensitive and artistic teenager, with a strong moral compass.
“When I found out I got the role, I took a deep breath,” Minnette said. “I couldn’t believe it.”
Since then, Minnette has become a fan favorite and his performance in the series earned him much praise from critics.
Off-camera, Dylan Minnette is an avid musician and he released an EP titled Less Than Two Hours Ago in June 2017. He has also featured on many other musical projects and acts as one-third of the band Wallows.
Minnette is currently starring in the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why, where he’s taken a darker role as Clay Jensen.
