Skuespilleren Jamie Campbell Bower har spillet hovedskurken i Stranger Things i to sæsoner nu, og i et nyligt interview med Deadline åbner han op for, hvordan det er at spille en så ond og umenneskelig figur. Men også en karakter, der bærer på dybt rodfæstede traumer, som Henry tydeligvis gør.
Campbell siger:
"So, getting to play those scenes out, I felt at times like a huge release, and it was also really important for me to go into those scenes understanding the trauma and the experience to bring that level of humanity forward...because there are times where I feel wildly inhuman, monstrous, and I know that sounds obvious, but like truly monstrous. So I took great pleasure in those moments for sure."
Han fortsætter og nævner specifikt en scene, hvor Holly og Max forsøger at flygte, og Henry forvandler sig til Vecna i realtid.
"That particular moment, the physicality of that was something that we worked on with, actually, with somebody who works in the video game space...So the shift between Whatsit and Henry was something that we worked on off set prior to shooting it."
Campbell taler også om, hvordan han ser på Henry og Vecna samt overgangen mellem de to.
"I think Henry was so close, was much closer to innocence... and then when he was sent to that slippery, veiny demise at the end of Season 4, it became about resentment, and at that point, it felt like humanity had gone. It felt like the possibility of love was so far away."
Afslutningsvis nævner han også, hvad han håber, folk vil huske om Henry og Vecna, når det hele er overstået.
"What do I hope people take away from this character? Wow, I'm still in process on that... So much of this character is based on the idea of loneliness. So much of this character is based on the idea of salvation."
