10 Unusual Demands Made By Actors On Recent TV Shows
1. Vecna Needed His Own Personal Upside Down - Stranger Things
Getting into the mindset of a seriously creepy being from another dimension hellbent on tormenting a bunch of kids over the course of a supernatural season of television doesn't exactly sound like a breezy way of earning a living.
So, it likely won't come as too much of a surprise to hear that Stranger Things Season 4's big bad Vecna himself Jamie Campbell Bower put himself through the wringer to bring the body-breaking entity into being.
Along with cutting himself off from the rest of the outside world for four days in the lead-up to shooting any of his scenes as the heavy-prosthetic-boasting Vecna, the actor has confessed to "doing some pretty wild stuff" and walking around the streets of Atlanta at 2am talking to himself in character.
Upon being fully crafted into the unsettling one-time One, the star would admit to requesting 30 minutes of time to himself in-between takes, explaining:
“It was totally pitch black. I’d sit in (a dark room) between the takes and go for it. It was really interesting. About halfway through, I started to become quite afraid of Vecna.”
Well, he wasn't the only one...
