Tyler Posey reflects on 15 years of Teen Wolf and his friendship with Dylan O'Brien.

When I was in high school, Teen Wolf was always on Monday nights at 10 PM Eastern Time.

Scott changes over time. What did you enjoy most about playing such a complex character?

On the topic: The latest episode of Euphoria was even more raunchy than the last—here's a full recap of the most shocking moments.

As kids, we all adored Scott and Stiles' friendship. Your chemistry really made the show special. Can you describe your relationship with Dylan O'Brien?

We had the best day ever auditioning. Usually, there's a lot of stress at that time, and you're really nervous. But I didn't feel that way. I was just hanging out with Dylan, and by the end of the day, we were both like, "Dude, if you get this and I get this, you know what? We could live together.".

I found out that Dylan plays drums and I play guitar, and we thought, "Maybe we should bring our instruments?" That's what happened, and it was so sweet, touching, and genuine. Our friendship blossomed like nothing else, and our love and respect for each other only grew stronger.

Meeting Dylan and working with him changed my life. We had so much fun and supported each other on set. Before Teen Wolf, he'd starred in a few small projects, but I knew this was his first big one. I wanted to give him the experience I'd always dreamed of—having someone close to you who would guide you through the entire process.

During that period, I was influenced by many actors, like Jennifer Lopez and Robert De Niro, both of whom were simply amazing. I wanted to be a role model for him—to show him that you can be a good person, an actor, and stand up for yourself. I was also inspired by how he developed and became his own person on set. For both of us, it was a kind of closure.

I try to see Dylan, we talk as much as we can, and oh my god, it's amazing. I don't know if I'll ever have anything like that again. It's really special.

On topic: Sorry, but this time-limited 80s TV show quiz only applies to people born between 1961 and 1979.

The stunts in Teen Wolf were incredible. Are there any that particularly stick out to you 15 years later?

Tyler: I always said the same thing: "I get to do the coolest things." In one episode, I got sprayed with a fire extinguisher. I thought, "When is that ever going to happen again?"«

One time we were driving in Stiles's Jeep and we had to back out really, really fast. I was in the passenger seat and the stunt driver was driving.

You can't even see me, so I shouldn't have climbed in there in the first place, but it was exciting. He backed up really quickly, and then turned the wheel sharply. Jeeps are very unstable and built like boxes. We got up on two wheels, and it was pretty scary.

There were a lot of fight scenes. I loved it when we broke things, whether it was a wall or a locker room. We got hit a lot, like in the face. There was one scene where I'm fighting with the twins, and they beat me up, and I think it takes place in Derek's loft. They hit me in the face a few times, and the first couple of times were funny. Then I thought, "Okay, please don't hit me too hard.".
