Dilan Gwyn is an actress from Sweden who made an intentional choice to move to the United States, where there are more roles available in more movies and TV shows. As a result, she has since started appearing in a wide range of roles in a wide range of projects, though her single best-known role should be on Freeform’s Beyond.
Here are five things that you may or may not have known about Dilan Gwyn:
Daughter of Orhan Kotan
Gwyn’s father is a Kurdish man named Orhan Kotan. For those who are unfamiliar with the Kurdish people, they are one of the biggest ethnic groups that can be found in the Middle East but have no national homeland of their own. Instead, they inhabit a mountainous region that is sometimes called Kurdistan, which is sprawled over portions of Armenia, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. Regardless, Kotan is a well-known Kurdish poet as well as writer in his own right.
Speaks Four Languages
Since Gwyn was born in Sweden, it should come as no surprise to learn that she speaks Swedish. However, she speaks three other languages as well, which are English, French, and Turkish. The fact that she speaks French is unsurprising because she went to the University of Sorbonne, meaning that she mastered French by studying in Paris. Likewise, the fact that she speaks Turkish is unsurprising because her parents were political refugees who were forced to flee from Turkey because of a military coup d’etat.
Athletic
One of Gwyn’s strengths as an actress is her athleticism, which enables her to perform her own stunts. For example, she plays indoor hockey, which is in addition to the fact that she was trained in dance when she was still in grade school. On top of this, Gwyn has been trained in fencing, which is in addition to some training in hand-to-hand combat, as shown by her green belt in karate.
Best-Known For Beyond
Currently, Gwyn should be best-known to most people for her role as Willa Frost on a Freeform series called Beyond. For those who are curious, Beyond is a sci-fi drama centered around a character named Holden Matthews, who is more than a little confused after he wakes up from a 12-year coma with supernatural powers. Gwyn’s character can be considered the female lead for the series, who has a fair amount of experience with the sort of thing that has happened to Holden Matthews.
Cast In Heretiks
One of Gwyn’s upcoming projects is a horror movie called Heretiks, which is expected to come out in 2018. Said movie will be centered around a 17th century women who has been spared execution but will be sent to a priory for the purpose of repenting her sins. Unfortunately, she comes to learn that there is a malevolent force that can be found lurking within the priory. Those who are interested should know that the movie will be coming out on February 17, which is no more than a short while into the future.
