Jamie Campbell Bower has fully embraced his Vecna alter ego once again.
According to the latest report from PEOPLE Magazine, the actor recently made a surprise walk-on appearance at Broadway’s Stranger Things: The First Shadow, delighting fans of the hit Netflix franchise.
Reportedly, Bower only found out about the special opportunity during the Stranger Things season 5 premiere in Los Angeles back in November, leaving little time for hesitation once the idea was presented.
Reflecting on how quickly he agreed to the role, Bower recalled a conversation involving Tony Award nominee Louis McCartney.
“One of my colleagues came up to me and was like, ‘Oh, by the way, Louis is here,'” he shared.
“And I was like, ‘Oh, great. I haven’t seen him for ages! I love him. I can’t wait to see him.'”
The actor then shared that excitement quickly took an unexpected turn.
“She was like, ‘But before he says anything, let me just tell you they’d love you to do a walk-on in New York when you are there in December,'” Bower continued.
Without much deliberation, the actor was immediately on board. “Sure, why not? That sounds fun!” he recalled saying.
