AKA:
Dylan Neil
Tall, (6'2") and handsome brown-haired Canadian import Dylan Neal has worked steadily on American television since the late 1980s. Raised in a suburb of Toronto, the actor attended an academically-focused prep school for most of his education, but found his calling when he transferred to public school halfway through his high school years and found himself in an active drama department, encouraged to pursue a career utilizing his newfound talents.

Dylan made his professional acting debut soon after with a role in the Toronto-filmed TV-movie "After Midnight" (ABC, 1988) and was

… More next featured with a two-episode recurring role as the younger incarnation of the titular hero in the syndicated, animation/live action hybrid series "Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future" in the same year.

Dylan had his first feature film role in the horror sequel "Prom Night III: The Last Kiss" in 1990 and kept busy with roles in series and TV-movies located in Canada. He went to Hollywood for the 1992 and 1993 pilot seasons, but was unable to support himself in the States between castings as his visa permitted him to take acting jobs only.

Dylan got a big break in 1994, when he was cast on the CBS daytime drama "The Bold and the Beautiful" where he portrayed Dylan Shaw until 1997. The steady work soaps offered won over the INS, who granted Neal the required permits for honing his skills in the United States.

While appearing on "The Bold and the Beautiful", he was featured in the Disney Channel TV-movie "Golden Will: The Silken Laumann Story" (1996), a biopic of the eponymous Canadian Olympian.

    Totally underused and under-rated. hide show

    I really got to "know" Dylan Neal as Toronto police detective "Mike Celluci" on the fabulous and equally under rated Canadian-made TV series, "Blood Ties". He was the perfect foil for Kyle Schmid's bastard son- of-a-King vampire, "Henry Fitzroy" and the story lines could have gone on forever had someone with a whit of imagination been at the Lifetime helm. Meantime, I only have my Blood Ties DVD's to turn to when I need my Celluci fix.

    But I have also seen him play some really creepy and just not-nice characters such as the husband from hell in the TV movie "Cradle of Lies". And then he can turn it around and play "Sgt. Jaspar Linney", the ever so eerily perfect brother to the ever so eerily perfect Detective William Murdoch on "Murdoch Mysteries"...which I should hope would be a continuing role for this talented actor and this great series.

    Bottom line: a really great performer with a lot of depth and I want to see much more...

    I enjoy watching him. hide show

    Though I wouldn't call him a favorite character I do enjoy watching him. He has a flair for the sarcastic, not rude, comedy that he got to show off on Sabrina the Teenage Witch. And puts a nice play on the more sensitive laid back drama on his stint on Dawson's Creek. He's plesant to watch and he doesn't fill you with that sense of dread when you see a secondary character walk onto a show and then get placed a little more upfront. He makes it work.

    Is one talented, funny actor. hide show

    I first came across the acting talents of Dylan Neal as Deputy Doug Whitter on Dawson's Creek. How I would best describe his character's attitude/stage presence as the serious, somewhat funny guy to comedic style of Joshua Jackson's character of Pacey, Doug's little brother on the show. In addition to enjoying Neal's acting talents on Dawson's Creek, I also found him to be hilarious in the character of Aaron, Sabrina's fiance on Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. And of the two characters that I have seen him in, I would have to say that I found him more enjoyable in the role of Aaron, quite possibly because he and Melissa Joan Hart were feeding off of each other and making each other's character a little more funny and zany. It would be great to see Dylan Neal in more acting roles, because he is one talented actor.
