broke that The Young and the Restless put out a casting call for a
character named Dylan, who was slated to "hit the airwaves" in early
2013. The casting call described him as a "rugged, dynamic, energetic
man in his mid-30s" who "comes from humble, blue-collar beginnings,
was studying to be an architect when his construction/contractor
father was injured and Dylan had to drop out of college to take over
the business. He's done two tours of duty in the Middle East, army
special ops. The war left a mark on him. He's done his best to bury it
with optimism and a wry, sometimes offbeat sense of humor". Dylan McAvoy Top Movies & Young Movies
