Here’s your chance to watch the Stranger Things auditions that made the teen actors famous.
The audition is a ritual that all young actors have to go through. But before they even get to read a script in front of casting directors, producers, and directors, the aspiring actors have to send a tape showing their best work, which is an inside look at their lives before they were famous.
Today, we have come across the Stranger Things audition tapes of the show’s five little stars in the making. Sat around a table with the Duffer brothers, the teens watch back their performances, resulting in embarrassing and hilarious moments.
We also learn that at the very beginning of the show, Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas) was 13, Finn Wolfhard (Mike) and Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin) were 12 while Millie Bobbie Brown (Eleven) and Noah Schnapp (Will) were just 10 and 11, respectively. Who knew.
Stranger Things seasons one and two are available right now on Netflix. Check out the auditions below:
