Dylan Minnette Talks Clay's Rash Decision With School Shooting Storyline in '13 Reasons Why'

Dylan Minnette is opening up about the final scenes of 13 Reasons Why season two – where Clay takes everyone’s lives into his own hands by stopping Tyler from shooting everyone at the school dance.

Speaking with ET, the 21-year-old actor revealed that he gets why Clay does that, but it really was a horrible decision on his part.

“I think we’re supposed to know and believe that what Clay did is the wrong decision to make,” Dylan shared. “They should have locked the doors inside and called the police and let everyone know what was happening. I think we are not supposed to believe that Clay made the right decision, even though it was ultimately successful.”

He continues, “We’re supposed to believe that that is a decision that Clay would make because he is someone who acts on his emotions, without thinking his actions through, and really tries to take everything on himself.”

“Clay just feels a responsibility to go and save anyone he can, and in doing that, it could have been an extreme disaster. I don’t really think Clay knew what he was getting into — I don’t think he fully realized in that moment that he’d be facing Tyler with an assault rifle.”

13 Reasons Why is streaming now on Netflix.
