Another newcomer to the show for Season 2, Billy (Dacre Montgomery) is your more stereotypical 80s jock/bully. He feels like a character we've seen plenty of times before in the likes of Stand By Me and The Goonies (two movies the Duffers love to reference), but Montgomery does it well; there's a cocky charm to the character, but also the hints of something even more dangerous lurking under the surface threats.

He gets more fleshed out towards the end of the season, when we see how his father treats him, and there's definitely potential for him to become a bigger and better player in Season 3.
