How Dylan O’Brien Became Dan Aykroyd for Saturday Night
Prior to the debut of “Caddo Lake,” a suspenseful thriller produced by M. Night Shyamalan that is now available for streaming on Max, we had the opportunity to chat with Dylan O’Brien. In this intricate and engaging film, O’Brien delivers an impressive performance as Paris, a struggling lake worker who finds himself in a web of mystery after a young girl disappears in a swampy town. Just as “Caddo Lake” hits Max, another of O’Brien’s films, “Saturday Night,” is also releasing. This movie is a dramatization of the 90 minutes leading up to the first episode of Saturday Night Live 50 years ago, and in this production, O’Brien takes on the role of Dan Aykroyd. In our conversation, he shared insights into how he approached portraying the legendary performer on screen.
