the boys just doing normal line readings while millie was fighting for her life 😭😭😭
-
the amount of talent millie had as an eleven year old is actually INSANE. some people are just born to act
-
Finn is me in every important situation of my life "I'm sick AND I'm late" 😂
-
Respectfully BEGGING for more about sadie, maya, joe keery, and joe quinn’s auditions 😭😭
-
you deserve a raise, everyone is fit and perfect for their role. they were meant to be their characters!!
-
Millie had one chance and one chance only and she gave that audition her all!
-
Millie was born to play El. She is so naturally talented and the way she express herself so expertly with just facial expressions like in S1 was incredible! Can’t wait to see where her career goes next
-
The four friends in that group are amazing , I can't even imagine what the show would be like without those specific people
-
I’d love to see Jamie’s audition!
Also Natalia, Maya, Joe, Charlie & Joe! -
Millie’s rent was due that day💀
-
Never expected Finn to be the funniest, my bets would have been on gaten
-
Millie is 11 and can already “cry” like that- that just shows pure talent
-
Most talented group of young actors since Harry Potter
-
"I'm sick and I'm late" is the most relatable sentence I've ever heard
-
I'm so glad to see the behind the scenes crew get more recognition in the media, like the special affects designers, casting directors, set designers, and the casting director, Carmen Cuba, here. They definitely deserve it
-
Truly, please put her in a glass box, she has an gift, this cast is the best on televsion, no one misses a beat, every side and background character is perfection. the office, breaking bad, the wire and stranger things are perfect casts.
-
I know for a fact that Millie Bobby Brown will become a household name like Meryl Streep. The amount of talent and control Millie has with her face and expressions is just incredible. Truly one of the greatest actresses of her generation.
-
Winona Ryder's performance as Joyce Byers is top notch, her and hopper is definitely one of my favorite main characters 😇
-
Omg just looking back at their auditions, I feel like a proud mom watching them grow up
-
I love Carmen Cuba's casting of this series. But this interview also made me understand why the actors fitted so well for their roles, given the Duffer brother's technique.
