Dylan Douglas has a lot in common with his well-known parents, but they aren’t the only thing: he is also pursuing a career in entertainment.
His big-screen debut will be in the psychological thriller “I Will Come to You,” which is being produced by Tripwire Entertainment and Cathedral Collective.
In the movie, he will play Julian Marks, a complicated and enigmatic character with hidden agendas and internal struggles.
“I was intrigued to this character because to its depth and intricacy.
“I am excited to contribute to a project that pushes boundaries and to bring this character to life,” Dylan said.
The film offers a deep exploration of the human psyche, walking the tightrope between danger and desire, revealing long-kept secrets, and facing the devastating consequences of treachery.
Earlier this year is when filming is anticipated to start.
Years have been spent preparing Dylan for his next big-screen role.
In 2016, when he was only fifteen, he gave a moving speech on his dyslexia in New York City.
Then, in 2020, Catherine Zeta-Jones wrote on Facebook about the moment: “My son Dylan at age 15 talking about his dyslexia so eloquently.”
a lot of effort with knowledgeable professors.
Always indebted.

Dylan described how classmates and teachers made fun of him for finding it difficult to read books that were well below his grade level during his speech.
At one point, he acknowledged, several teachers lost faith in his development.
Following three days of testing, his parents scheduled an evaluation in New York in 2008 and discovered he had dyslexia.
Michael disclosed in 2009 that he and Catherine had made the decision to return to New York from Bermuda in order to provide Dylan with the therapy he required.
“One of our kids has some special needs and it was recommended he go to a special school in the New York area,” said Michael.
Dylan’s academic resources and support at The Windward School began with that move, putting him on a better course.
Both Catherine and Michael Douglas have previously discussed Dylan’s learning problem in public interviews.
“My brother has dyslexia, so it runs in the family,” Michael revealed in 2010. “My son struggles with it to some extent.
He attends an exclusive school.
They have British nannies and we are traditional parents who receive positive feedback from others.
We are proud of our children.
Dylan has overcome obstacles and thrived with a learning condition, yet he still speaks up to bring attention to it.
When introducing him on the podcast “The Back Room with Andy Ostroy,” the host added that Dylan “struggled with the learning disability for much of his life.”
“I was completely illiterate at 11 years old, couldn’t even spell my name,” Dylan said, looking back on his early life.
Despite having dyslexia as a child, Dylan has had a successful career in his twenties, making a name for himself in the media and in politics.
He is a Brown University graduate from 2022 who has experience working on grassroots projects and political campaigns.
During the 2020 election, he was still a college student and worked as the deputy campaign manager for a well-known congressional campaign. He later co-founded “Make Room,” a progressive PAC that supports young, progressive politicians.
Prior to the November elections, Dylan started a show called “Young American with Dylan Douglas” on SiriusXM in 2024 with the goal of encouraging political participation from Gen Z and other young listeners.
It began as a limited series but has since been kept going indefinitely.
As an amateur historian, Dylan pursues his interest in history outside of the political sphere.
