Dylan Seal
- Actor
- Producer
Dylan Seal was born and raised in Long Beach, California. A film buff
since childhood, he was very quickly attracted to acting and writing
for the stage. Entering California State University Long Beach majoring
in business, he still loved film and theater. In his first theater
class he met Charlie Hickman and they soon became friends.
After helping out behind the scenes and writing several sketches with Charlie for theater, Dylan wanted to try working with film. Starting off producing student films, he was given his first professional opportunity from Charter Communications to write sketch comedy and produce two T.V. specials. It was through this that Dylan and Charlie started AFS Productions and started producing films.
Dylan practices several martial arts. He has choreographed many fight scenes for stage and film. He has trained for most of his life in Shotokan Karate, Lao Kune Do Kung Fu, Judo, Boxing, and is proficient in many weapons.
After college Dylan started working on stage and behind the scenes with several theater companies like the Long Beach Shakespeare Co. (LBSC), Shakespeare by the Sea, the East LA Classic Theater Co., and San Dioniso Sa America. San Dioniso is a Phillipino theater company that is performed only in old Shakespearean Tagalog (which he does not speak). He has been a member for over six years. He worked nonstop with the LBSC for three years on over ten classical productions. Also, he worked with Tony Plana, who is the director of the East LA Classic Theater Co., on Much Ado About Nothing.
Dylan has very eclectic taste in film, ranging from Bruce Lee and Kurosawa movies to Christopher Nolan movies!
An article about Clint Eastwood inspired Dylan to begin producing. In the article Eastwood was asked what people trying to get started in the industry should do. His response was to "write and produce your own projects because no one is going to hand anything over to you."
So he did...
