From the previous thread, a birthday message posted from the American Assassin accounts.

God Damn.

We've seen variations of that picture before, but I'm not sure that exact one.

[SouthernSweetieTX]

He is so pretty!

[KitscherSunk]

I might be imagining this, but he looks bigger there than the one I'm more familiar with. I remember him looking more wiry. Either way he looks good.

[worthyoflove]

I remember being surprised by how big he looked here when we first saw the shirtless pictures. Not in a bad way, just definitely more built then he looked in clothes.

It's a shame to hide that, under this...

[Sulieter]

Great pic.

Taylor, from Teen Mom, who I adore, owns a t-shirt label. He posted a picture of Dylan wearing one of his shirts. He was geeking out. It was so cute.

Have't heard much from Dylan in awhile.

Is Taylor Maci's wife? I just remember they had a T-shirt startup company.

It looks like Dylan has two projects in post, neither of which look particularly high profile. Maybe he likes it that way. He's super talented, he should be doing more mainstream work.

AA is at Walmart in the 5.00 bin. Just FYI!

This makes me sad...that I paid full price.

And, yes! Maci's husband, that's what I meant.

Haha!

I mean, I don't even have a DVD player hooked up anymore. The only reason I'd buy it is that you can't make screen caps when it's an iTunes download. So for the fan account purposes I have to pony up.
