n this episode, I’m joined by Dylan Smith, a veteran Canadian actor with a career spanning film, television, and theatre. Dylan stars in the suspense drama I Am the Night, a limited series directed by Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman, Monster), where he plays the chilling serial murderer Sepp, opposite Chris Pine (Wonder Woman) and India Eisley (The Secret Life of the American Teenager).

Inspired by true events, I Am the Night follows Fauna Hodel (India Eisley), a teenage girl who uncovers dark secrets about her birth and family. She teams up with a ruined reporter, Jay Singletary (Chris Pine), to unravel a sinister trail that leads to Dr. George Hodel (Jefferson Mays) — a man connected to one of Hollywood’s most infamous unsolved crimes. Dylan’s portrayal of Sepp is haunting, sadistic, and transformative, cementing him as a true chameleon in the world of acting.

Beyond this gripping role, Dylan has built a thriving career working with some of Hollywood’s biggest names. From Gerard Butler in 300, Colin Farrell in Total Recall, to Tom Cruise in The Mummy, and earlier stage work at Canada’s Soulpepper Theatre Company, Dylan brings remarkable depth and versatility to every performance. He also studied acting at Webber Douglas in London, taking leading roles in films like Murder on the Orient Express and TV classics such as EastEnders.

Off-screen, Dylan resides in the UK with his wife and newborn baby. He maintains a disciplined lifestyle through fitness, surfing, and meditation, and actively gives back through volunteering and charitable causes focused on refugees, homelessness, and environmental awareness.

In our conversation, Dylan shares his experiences working with Patty Jenkins, collaborating with Chris Pine, and the challenges and rewards of portraying one of the most chilling characters in his career. He also reflects on the journey that led him from stage to screen and the balance of life as an actor and father.

Sit back and enjoy this engaging, insightful, and sometimes chilling discussion with Dylan Smith 🎭✨
