Hi, I'm Randy Havens. I play Mr. Clark
0:02
on Stranger Things. I'm going to answer
0:06
You worked a lot with the younger cast
0:08
early on. What stands out when you think
0:09
back to those first days on set with the
0:12
You know, the funniest part is that a
0:14
lot of times I would just forget that
0:17
And they were just my fellow actors and
0:18
then occasionally I would just see them
0:20
off playing to the side and I'd be like,
0:25
So, it's really fun, but they're very
0:29
um very talented. So, often times I
0:31
would just they would just be actors to
0:33
me. Season 1 was set in 1983 when you
0:35
were about 6 years old. What are your
0:37
memories of the '80s and did Stranger
0:41
Yeah, I think Stranger Things really hit
0:42
the mark about that kind of time period
0:46
I think um kids on bikes.
0:49
You know, your parents just going like,
0:50
"Get out of the house. Go outside and
0:54
you know, I just wanted to stay inside.
0:56
I had my Nintendo. I wanted to play
1:02
you know, a lot of times your parents
1:04
wanted a little peace and quiet. So,
1:06
they're like, "Go play in the woods. Go
1:10
We didn't have Demogorgons when I was a
1:11
kid, but Mr. Clark always seems to get
1:13
interrupted when he's with one of his
1:14
girlfriends. Did the Duffers intend for
1:16
the science teacher to be one of
1:17
Hawkins' most eligible bachelors?
1:22
they wanted Mr. Clark to be
1:25
kind of this friendly, approachable,
1:28
kind, intelligent guy.
1:32
to kind of perpetuate the idea that
1:33
those are attractive qualities in a
1:37
uh that's what they did. I think they
1:38
did a great job. I think everybody loves
1:42
why why not have a bunch of girlfriends?
1:44
Stranger Things features a lot of '80s
1:45
tech thanks to Mr. Clark's expertise. As
1:47
someone born at the dawn of the home
1:51
what are your memories of the first time
1:52
you were introduced to a computer?
1:55
yeah, when I was a kid, like we had
1:57
computers in the classroom. So, um
2:00
uh we were able to get in there and
2:01
start playing with them then. Um
2:04
uh I did a little light coding when I
2:06
was a child. So, that was fun. You would
2:09
uh get into like basic and like do a
2:13
uh coding there and it was like a just a
2:15
fun way to experience like kind of kind
2:18
of the new world of computing. Having
2:20
been involved with the show from start
2:21
to finish, what do you think about how
2:22
it all ended now that Stranger Things
2:24
series finale has finally aired? I
2:26
think, you know, it's like the end of an
2:31
you know, really something special to be
2:33
a part of and you know, always have a
2:35
fondness in my heart for
2:37
how special the show was and and how it
2:39
became like this kind of cultural
2:42
really something very cool and special.
2:44
Those are my six questions. I'm Randy
2:46
Havens. Thanks for watching.
