Former Disney channel star, Ross Lynch, had his debut in the thrilling “My Friend Dahmer” on November 3rd. The movie is an adaptation of a novel, written by a former friend and classmate of the infamous serial killer, Jeffery Dahmer. In the film, viewers are given a detailed perspective into who Dahmer was as a teenager. “My Friend Dahmer” elaborates on the destructive environment that influenced Jeffery Dahmer’s behavior, and led him to kill.

From what the trailer has shown, Lynch does a good job in creating a believable character; the way Lynch seems to  develops his own idiosyncrasies for the character made the performances more authentic. This was definitely a surprise, considering his previous role as Austin from the Disney channel show “Austin and Ally”, but Lynch seems to be trying to widen his career.

People that have seen Ross Lynch’s show on “Austin and Ally” think that “this role is different to what he’s been known for doing,” says Hailey Morles, “and this role can either make his career or break it.” With the limited release of “My Friend Dahmer” in theaters, be the judge yourself of the film.
