**Young Dylan** is the main protagonist of *Tyler Perry's Young Dylan*. He originally lived with his Grandma. But his grandma decided to make him move in with the rest of his family.

He is portrayed by Dylan Gilmer.

## Description and Personality

Dylan is funny, loyal, caring, and all about family and friends, even if he doesn't show it at times. He wants to be the greatest rapper in the world, striving and working hard to be, and is motivated by his family, at times. Sometimes his wacky situations will get him in trouble, but he learns from his mistakes, and that's what makes a cool dude like Young Dylan. Mostly when he is in trouble, his Uncle and Aunt punish him.

## History

His mother is Darlene, although his father's identity is unknown.

Recently, his maternal grandmother Viola Wilson has been his caregiver due to his mother not being stable enough to take care of him. However, he proved to be too much for her, so she placed him under the care of his maternal uncle and his family, and it ends up creating a fiasco.
