So then from January of filming on through the year, I kept texting the Duffers, “Is it done? I feel so comfortable around her, and it was hard to say goodbye. Now, we spent the whole season together, and she’s part of my little “Stranger Things” family.

Lastly, you had the ability to collaborate with younger actors this season.

We’re not kids anymore.” They’re looking to us. It would just be plain saying the lines out loud with no emotion, just to sink it in. How has discovering Will’s newfound power changed your approach to the character?

I never felt stuck to anything. The coming out monologue is Schnapp’s most emotionally intense and verbose in the series.

There were so many different choices in the different takes. We came back a week later to reshoot certain parts of the scene for another 12 hours. It was really special. I didn’t expect to have such trouble letting go of her on that last day.

Do you think discovering that he’s a sorcerer has given Will the confidence to embrace what makes him different?

Honestly, I was so wrapped up in my emotions and what I was feeling that I kind of blocked out everyone around me. And I was just in tears. It was so fun. I don’t really remember anyone’s reactions, but watching it back, it was nice to see.

Oh my God, it was endless. I’m glad that they edited it the way they did, where it’s nice to see him not just sob through the whole scene, but kind of smile through the memories and give that lighter feel. I got advice from Maya on how to prepare for it, because there were so many lines, more lines than I’d ever had before.

I had Winona next to me, and the boys and Maya [Hawke] around me. For this scene, it was nice because there were moments where I tried the first paragraph of the monologue to the boys where it was a lot more sad, and then there were times when I was a lot more happy reliving the memories with them.

Yeah, I noticed that and I spoke to the Duffers about it specifically.

His own father derisively called him queer, as his mother Joyce (Winona Ryder) recounts early in Season 1. For so long, you and the main ensemble were the youngest people on the show.
