Dylan Arnold is a rising talent in the entertainment industry. His career began in 2010, mostly acting in short films not available to the public. In 2012, he had his breakthrough role in Fat Kid Rules The World, after studying at the University of North Carolina's School of the Arts.

Recently, Arnold has attracted attention through popular Netflix series and films. He has also appeared in an Apple TV+ series, and more short films are forthcoming. However, the following projects stand out as the highlights of his career.

5. Mudbound (2017)

Mudbound ranks among Arnold’s highest-rated films on major review sites like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes, praised by critics and audiences alike. This historical drama, inspired by a 2008 novel, showcases the realities of post-World War II life.

The storyline revolves around two veterans returning to Mississippi, grappling with racism and PTSD. One veteran is Black, and the other is white. Although Arnold does not portray either veteran, he plays Carl Atwood, a racist and troubled farm worker desperate to retain his job. Arnold’s compelling performance prompts an immediate dislike for his character.

4. You (2021)

You dives into the harrowing realities of having a stalker among everyday people. While much of the focus is on Joe (played by Penn Badgley) and his violent obsessions, Arnold joins the cast in the third season as Theo, a college student.

Theo displays a turbulent relationship with his father and copes using substances. He is an observant character, keenly noticing details others overlook. Dramatic tension arises when Theo engages in a dangerous affair with Love, who subsequently tries to kill him. This vibrant character offers Arnold one of his most substantial roles to date.

3. Nashville (2018)

Nashville centers on a mix of prominent country singers dealing with rivalry and relationships. Beginning with a conflict between a celebrated country singer and an emerging country-pop star, the storyline evolves as more characters and relationships unfold.

Arnold appears in the series' final season as Twig, Maddie's love interest. Twig is portrayed as inventive yet responsible for his younger siblings. Arnold captures youthful zest combined with mature responsibility. However, his stay in Nashville is brief, as he only features in the concluding episodes. The series garnered several Emmy and Golden Globe nominations.

2. Disfluency (2021)

Disfluency originated as a short film in 2018, where Arnold also starred. Although his character’s name changes for the feature film, the core story remains focused on themes of trauma.

In the film, Jane (played by Libe Barer) returns home during her final year of college to confront her trauma. In this journey, she reconnects with friends, including Arnold's character, Jordan, her childhood crush. Arnold delivers a sincere and genuine performance crucial to the film's emotional weight. Disfluency is Arnold’s highest-rated project, collecting numerous awards, including the Jury Prize at the Austin Film Festival.

1. Oppenheimer (2023)

While Disfluency is critically celebrated, Oppenheimer is expected to be a milestone in Arnold’s career for years to come. The film chronicles the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer in the Manhattan Project during World War II. Arnold plays the role of the titular character’s younger brother, also involved in the project.

Although Arnold's part may not be the film's most memorable, Oppenheimer features a stellar ensemble cast. It is the most recognized project in Arnold’s filmography, racking up over 300 nominations in various award platforms and winning 193 of those, including seven Academy Awards.
