The Young Heroes of Stranger Things: A Look at the Kids

Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven)

Let’s start with the powerhouse, Millie Bobby Brown. When we first met her as Eleven, she was a mysterious girl with telekinetic powers, and she completely blew us away. Seriously, her acting was phenomenal from the very beginning! Since Stranger Things, Millie has become a massive star, and her career has skyrocketed. She's not just an actress; she's a producer and an entrepreneur, too. Can you believe it? She has a successful beauty line called Florence by Mills, which is aimed at Gen Z and offers skincare and makeup. She is also a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, using her platform to advocate for children's rights around the world. Talk about a multi-talented superstar!

Millie has also starred in several major films. She reprised her role as Enola Holmes in the sequel to the Netflix film Enola Holmes 2, where she worked alongside Henry Cavill. Both films were massive successes and showcased her range as an actress beyond her iconic role as Eleven. There are also rumors and hints about what's next for Eleven in the final season of Stranger Things. The finale is highly anticipated, and fans are eager to see how Millie's character arc will conclude. Besides acting, Millie is focused on growing her production company and expanding her brand. I have no doubt that Millie Bobby Brown will continue to dominate the entertainment industry for years to come. She is a real inspiration for young actors everywhere!

Finn Wolfhard (Mike Wheeler)

Finn Wolfhard brought the heart and soul to the Stranger Things cast as Mike Wheeler. His portrayal of the loyal friend and the first love interest of Eleven was just fantastic! Finn has always been more than just an actor; he's also a musician and a director. Talk about a triple threat! Besides Stranger Things, Finn has been super busy in both film and music. Remember his role in It and It Chapter Two? He was fantastic in those! His band, Calpurnia, unfortunately, broke up, but he's now part of a new band called The Aubreys. They have released some awesome music, and if you haven’t already, you should totally check them out!

Finn's talents are not limited to acting and music. He's also been exploring directing, making short films and music videos. In the future, we can expect to see Finn continue balancing his acting career with his musical pursuits. He's also expressed interest in directing more projects, which is super exciting for his fans. Finn continues to evolve as an artist, and I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of him in the entertainment industry.

Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin Henderson)

Gaten Matarazzo, as Dustin Henderson, brought the comic relief and a whole lot of heart to the show. I mean, who can forget that adorable gap-toothed grin? He's a true fan favorite. Beyond Stranger Things, Gaten has been a theater enthusiast since childhood. He has performed in several Broadway productions, including Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and Les Misérables. Talk about a star on stage! Gaten is also a spokesperson for CCD (cleidocranial dysplasia), a rare genetic condition that he shares with his character, Dustin. He uses his platform to raise awareness and support others with the condition. What a champion!

As Stranger Things continues, we'll definitely see more of Gaten's incredible acting. Plus, he's involved in various projects that allow him to combine his love for acting, singing, and advocacy. Gaten is a true inspiration, proving that talent and heart can take you anywhere.

Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas Sinclair)

Caleb McLaughlin, as Lucas Sinclair, brought a sense of pragmatism and loyalty to the group. His character's evolution throughout the series has been super interesting to watch. Caleb is also an active actor outside of Stranger Things, securing roles in various projects. He has appeared in films like Concrete Cowboy and Spirited, showcasing his range as an actor. Caleb has also been involved in stage productions, which is a great way to hone his craft and connect with audiences. I'm sure Caleb will continue to evolve, taking on diverse roles and making a lasting impact on the entertainment industry. He is definitely one to watch!

Noah Schnapp (Will Byers)

Noah Schnapp has brought the character of Will Byers to life, from the very beginning. His character has been through so much, and Noah has done a phenomenal job portraying Will's emotional depth. Aside from Stranger Things, Noah has also been actively pursuing other acting opportunities. He has appeared in films like Bridge of Spies and voiced roles in animated movies. Noah has also been involved in fashion and has a strong presence on social media. I’m excited to see him develop even further as an actor and explore more facets of the industry.

Sadie Sink (Max Mayfield)

Sadie Sink joined the Stranger Things cast later on, but she quickly became a fan favorite. Her portrayal of Max Mayfield has been nothing short of amazing. Her acting skills were really on display, especially during the emotional scenes in the later seasons. Sadie's career has taken off in a big way. She's been in several high-profile projects, including The Whale, where she starred alongside Brendan Fraser. She's also been a model, working with fashion brands and gracing the covers of magazines. Sadie is another star to watch. I'm sure she will continue to shine in the entertainment world.
