SO Engaging


I think he's one of the most engaging, captivating child actors to come along in a while. I couldn't take my eyes off of him in Stranger Things, and he was perfect portraying the heart of the show. There's something about his face and presence that conveys so much gentleness, kindness, beauty, and intelligence all at once, and his complexion is so insanely stunning, it just grabs your attention. I hope puberty doesn't hit him too hard, considering that most successful child actors only get lucky because the camera catches them at a special point in time where their youth happens to perfectly intersect with their intelligence. Once they physically grow and develop past that point, they can never quite recapture the magic they once had. Considering how on top of his game he was on the show, he may have been discovered at his peak, but I hope he's able to adapt as a grown actor in a couple years.

Agreed. He was always the one who stood out for me and he's definitely the best character on the show besides Eleven.
