Hi, my name is Connor Shaw and I played
0:02
Chrissy's little brother as a featured
0:04
extra on Stranger Things. How did your
0:06
involvement with Stranger Things begin
0:08
and what were those early days like?
0:10
Well, I actually found a casting call on
0:14
Facebook. Uh I think it was casting
0:16
tailor made and they were looking for a
0:18
younger kid to be an extra for some show
0:22
and I sent head shot and they got back
0:25
to me pretty quick and it was Stranger
0:27
Things and that was one of my favorite
0:29
shows. So, I mean, I obviously did it,
0:33
you know, and uh super excited. I was
0:35
12. I was young kid and was very
0:38
excited. How has being involved in
0:41
Netflix's most watched series affected
0:43
your life personally and professionally?
0:46
Oh, man. um when I was young and when I
0:52
it was just mind-blowing that I could be
0:54
a part of something like that, you know,
0:55
and spending time on set with uh Grace.
0:59
It was um it's just kind of I was
1:02
starruck, you know, and um
1:06
professionally, I'm trying to get into
1:08
more acting and stuff like that. What
1:10
was your first costume fitting for
1:12
Stranger Things? Like, did it
1:13
immediately lock you into the 1980s? So,
1:17
um, yeah, I had a couple different
1:18
fittings. Um, I think it was at Screen
1:21
Gyms in Georgia. It was, um, couple days
1:25
before I actually went and filmed. Yeah.
1:28
I I remember having this like really 80s
1:31
looking baseball costume and, um, they
1:34
gave me, you look at these pictures.
1:37
I mean, look like I'm out of the 80s,
1:40
you know? Um, it's like a family photo.
1:46
Yeah. And here's the portrait that's
1:48
actually in the show.
1:51
So, yeah, it definitely looked like I
1:54
was straight out of the '8s when they uh
1:56
fitted me and it's really cool. How did
1:59
you get in the ' 80s mindset? And did
2:01
you reference any movies, photos, music,
2:03
or real world details? So, ever since I
2:06
was a small kid, my parents have raised
2:08
me on like the8s hair metal and all the
2:12
80s music in general. And I've loved
2:16
that my entire life. And I think I've
2:18
always been in kind of the '8s mindset,
2:20
you know. Um, it's always been kind of a
