Going to a Dark Place

13 Reasons Why tells the story of a young girl named Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford), who leaves behind 13 cassette tapes to 13 different people that explain why she committed suicide. Druid’s character, Tyler Down, is the school photographer and he’s mentioned in the tapes as one of the reasons Hannah killed herself. About his character, Druid says, “Tyler is a character who is deeply in love with this girl, and she kills herself, and he is one of the 13 reasons why. It’s a really dark place to go and do that everyday. It starts to weigh on you. There were some days…I would cry every couple of minutes because I brought everything back with me.”

There is no information about David Druid’s girlfriend, so there is no way to tell if he has one. He says that the show has had a terrific impact on his life and he hopes that viewers grasp the important messages of the show. “You never know what’s going on in someone else’s life and that you can’t always understand how what you say or what you do, no matter how big or small it may seem to you; it could be the end of the world for someone else,” he explains.

There is no information on David Druid’s net worth, but considering that he is on one of Netflix’s most talked about shows, we are sure it will see a boost. When it comes to passion for his art, Druid confidently tackles tough themes at a relatively young age. “You really have to be careful about what you do or think about other people around you as human beings who feel things, and you have to learn to be empathetic and notice signs of people who are going through trouble,” he explains. Fans are hoping that there will be a second season of 13 Reasons Why, as the current season left some unanswered questions. If that happens, Devin Druid has a good chance of coming back as Tyler Down.

You can currently stream 13 Reasons Why on Netflix.
