Tristan Spohn breaks down the "mental whiplash" of booking a lead role in Stranger Things just after being promoted at a moving company.
Tristan Spohn is the breakout actor who portrayed "Two" in the fourth season of Stranger Things. A graduate of the prestigious Booker T. Washington school, Tristan survived years of "wilderness" in LA before returning to his roots and landing a role in the biggest show on Netflix.
Tristan reveals his unique "no-script-breakdown" approach to acting, relying instead on character journaling to create genuine relationships with his co-stars. He shares the physical reality of the eye-blood makeup and the immersive experience of being thrown across a room in a stunt harness. The episode offers a raw look at the labor laws of "pumpkin time" for child actors and the specific acting tips he picked up by being a "sponge" around Millie Bobby Brown and Matthew Modine.
An essential watch for anyone trying to navigate the transition from shy kid to professional screen presence.
