10 Actors Who Had ONE Condition For Joining TV Shows

10. Winona Ryder Needed A Break To Film Beetlejuice 2 - Stranger Things

Winona Ryder has enjoyed one hell of a career resurgence thanks to starring as Joyce Byers in Netflix's Stranger Things, but before she signed on for the ongoing series, she had one deal-breaker condition for creators Matt and Ross Duffer.

When Stranger Things began shooting in late 2015, Ryder had been waiting 25 years for a sequel to Tim Burton's fantasy-comedy Beetlejuice to get off the ground.

And given her clear fondness for the original film, she had to ensure that pesky scheduling conflicts wouldn't ever prevent her from appearing in the sequel if it got the greenlight.

And so, Ryder told the Duffers upfront that she could only come aboard Stranger Things if she'd be granted leave to film Beetlejuice 2 if it ever happened, to which they agreed.

But thankfully all the timing worked out regardless - Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was shot between the fourth and fifth seasons of Stranger Things, allowing Ryder to appear in both productions without compromise.
