I don’t want you to forget that I’m here. And I’ll always be here. No matter what. Because you’re my brother. And I love you. And there is nothing in this world, okay,>absolutely nothing, that will ever change that.

Talk me through that moment in Episode 7, when Hopper and Joyce finally reunite.
It’s an amazing moment. And the problem with amazing moments are that you read them in the script and you’re just like “FUUUCK.” You just feel the pressure. Here it is: He’s been away, he feels like he’s killed her. He’s in such despair, and then lo and behold, his miracle, his knight in shining armor who saves him is this woman that he cares so much for. It’s such an epic, incredible moment and we shot [it] a bunch of different ways. Initially there were some that we did where she’d run over to me and I just embraced her [right there and then]. We did about 10 takes of it, and then I was like, “You know what I think it is, man? I just think he’s so in survival mode, I don’t even think he thinks she’s real.” So when she comes over to him there’s this moment where he kind of stares, pulls her away from him and looks at her, and then embraces her again. That’s when we could go into the smile.
I was really appreciative of the Duffers allowing me to find the reality of this moment. I had a lot of takes that were big and emotional and all that stuff and then I was like, “No, it’s got to be simple, it’s gotta be weirder than that.” And I was very happy we all came to that and that they let us use that take because I think it is the most sophisticated.
