[@Noname-fd1cq]

He’s so underrated compared to his co stars. He deserves a lot more recognition, he’s such a talented actor and I think concrete cowboys really proved it.

[@aliyahdyan]

facts.

[@mssngy]

I’m really rooting for him.

[@StrangerThingsSuperFans]

Exactly

[@user6025]

Exactly

[@kernpowell2598]

Fr he is one of my fav actors

[@aimehuertazamudio8638]

He's such a good actor why he's so underrated

[@malaysiabennett884]

No fr fr

[@mssngy]

Calebs acting really shined in Concrete Cowboy. It really showed his range. He deserves more opportunities like that. The ST cast is great but the world never gives him the same recognition because of his blackness. I’m rooting for him.

[@paufabrega3476]

ur so right. he deserves so much more.

[@rapturals]

i agree and i really hope to see more from him! he's an incredible singer, dancer and actor from what i've seen since the show first got popular back in 2016.

[@peytonbrown5225]

[@albertkroub5780]

His blackness?? What does that even mean

[@ss-hc7tb]

this is way too true. manifesting he gets what he deserves.

I’m loving the hype for Caleb recently, he deserves all the good things to come

[@philmedeiros2497]

Never cared for Stranger Things but this kid is a really good actor. I think he's gonna be really big in a few years

[@Fantastic_Stranger]

@Carisha That’s how I feel. Especially season 3 it was pretty boring and a bunch of the main characters were pushed to the side.

[@nkt.11]

@@Fantastic_Stranger yea I agree, Noah’s character Will didn’t really do much in season 3 except get goosebumps 😭😭🤣 but there are a lot of characters so not everyone can get a lot of screen time and now they’re adding more people 🤣🤣

[@globalinsignia7798]

Aw he's growing up I remember watching him in stranger things❤️he was so little that time now he's like 18 or 19😪😪❤️

[@KaiKailuv]

But who is going to talk about his album though? I need it to drop ASAP 😁

[@swacfan100]

I thought he was gonna be rapping too, but that Neo Soul sound is a good genre. I'm interested to hear what he does.

[@craigsmith3876]

I'm mad people talking he ageing out his role in st nobody bats an eye when these white people who are almost 30 are playing teenagers but they talk about him when he is literally just 19

[@jackisafanofthings]

Exactly. And there’s nothing in stranger things that implies that they’re supposed to be younger than how old they actually are.

[@jackisafanofthings]

@Dedan Kaggio no they don’t. They’re in high school now. It’s not like they’re playing 10 year olds

[@jackisafanofthings]

@Dedan Kaggio yeah I’m slow 🥰😍

[@craigsmith3876]

@Finlay Connolly I wasn't talking about stranger things dumbass I was just saying generally in television there are these white people who are nearly 30 playing teenagers and nobody gives a shit but people come at Caleb when it's not that big of an age difference between the character he plays
