Netflix is known for its original content and reviving previously cancelled shows, but its latest hit seires, 13 Reasons Why, is to us what Beverly Hills, 90210 was in the ’90s. It premiered in late March, and it’s been picking up steam ever since. Thanks to word of mouth and social media, friends and their families have been binging the 13-episode teen drama non-stop. The show is basically the cinematic version of the Harry Potter novels, and like those books, fans weren’t able to put 13 Reasons Why down.

He Played the First Son on Scandal
If you think you’ve seen Minnette somewhere before, then chances are you’ve seen him on Scandal as the president’s teenage son, Fitzgerald Grant Jr. aka Jerry. He was on the show for a few episodes but then his character was killed off by the end of season 3 as part of another plot by Olivia Pope’s father, to make Fitz president for another term. If you’re going to re-watch those episodes, then go right ahead!
He was on Grey’s Anatomy
The hit medical drama may be in its 20th season by now (not actually, but it feels like it), but if you go back to its earlier episodes, you may remember a younger Dylan Minnette as a patient. In the show’s fourth season, his character was trick-or-treating for ears, because he had none due to a medical disorder.
“I was like two feet tall, and people still somehow recognize my face from 20 seasons ago on Grey’s Anatomy. It’s crazy,” he said to Entertainment Weekly. “I haven’t seen it in forever, so when people come up to me, I’m like, ‘How do you remember this? I don’t even remember this!’”
On 13 Reasons Why, Minnette also had scenes with Hannah Baker’s mom, Grey’s Anatomy alum Kate Walsh, who played Addison Montgomery, Derek Shepherd’s ex-wife.

Don’t Call Him Logan Lerman
Even though Minnette is one of young Hollywood’s biggest stars right now, people still confuse him with actor, Logan Lerman, who played Percy Jackson in Percy Jackson & The Olympians. In an Entertainment Weekly interview, Minnette talked about how he gets mistaken for Lerman all the time.
“Everyone’s like, ‘Oh my god, can I ask you something? You were in Percy Jackson, right?’ I’m like, ‘No, different guy.’ But they still know that I’m an actor, and they’ll go, ‘Then what is it?’ ‘Well, it’s nothing that Logan Lerman is in, but…’”
He added: “I think Logan is awesome and really talented. I think he’s amazing. I’ve never met him, but I’m honored to be mistaken for him, so that’s great,” he says. “I’m in on the joke. From now on, when people recognize me I’ll be like, ‘That’s right, Percy Jackson was a great time in my life,’”
If you haven’t watched 13 Reasons Why, it’s still available to stream on Netflix! This is one you won’t want to miss!
