Who Is Dylan in the Walmart Commercial?
(By Carmichael Phillip)
What Is This Walmart “Dylan” Everyone Is Talking About?
If you’ve seen Walmart’s recent “Who Knew?”–era commercial featuring Walton Goggins, you might remember a scene where he’s talking to a horse, and a young farmhand named Dylan wanders into the barn. The question is: who is Dylan? And more specifically, who plays him? There’s no officially credited actor name for “Dylan” in publicly released cast lists, but by piecing together sources and fan sleuthing, we can clarify what’s known — and what remains a mystery.
The Ad Campaign: Walmart’s “Who Knew?” Rebrand
Walmart launched a bold new campaign in 2025 called “You Thought You Knew Us. We’re Flattered.”, under the tagline “Walmart. Who knew?”
The campaign leans into surprising the audience — Walmart wants to reintroduce itself as more than just a big-box store.
In one of the flagship spots, actor Walton Goggins plays a charismatic cowboy-esque figure, listing off odd products Walmart now offers — from saunas to dentures — while shouting “Who knew?”
According to the Walmart corporate press release, this is very much about reintroducing Walmart — showing how far the company has evolved.
Who Is Dylan?
Dylan in the Walmart “Who Knew?” commercial is a farmhand character who interacts briefly with Walton Goggins in a barn scene.
No publicly confirmed actor has been identified for Dylan as of now.
It’s likely a smaller role, and thus not prominently credited in major media coverage or ad-industry listings.
Unless Walmart or the actor publicly reveals their identity later, the mystery of Dylan may remain just that — a curious detail in a striking rebranding campaign.
