Dylan quickly fell in love with the sport and was soon playing for Canada at an international level. Toward the end of his teenage years, after many years of traveling across North America on the amateur squash circuit, Dylan decided a professional squash career was not for him.
By that time, Dylan was attending Blakelock High School, where he was enrolled in the drama program. At the urging of his drama teacher, Dylan signed with a Toronto talent agent and began auditioning professionally. It didn't take long for Dylan to realize this was the direction his career would take. In 1992, Dylan moved to Los Angeles, where his career quickly took off. He lived in Los Angeles until 2006, when he and his family moved to Vancouver for production of the Lifetime television series 'Blood Ties'. In 2011, Dylan and his family returned to Los Angeles.
