'Stranger Things' Star Dacre Montgomery Talks Billy’s "Emotional" Journey in Season 3 | In Studio

[@Maddie-gx8gs]

Billie saves El’s life, he sacrificed himself, that’s the strongest thing anyone in the show has ever done. Nobody saw it coming.

[@lyssa8346]

I didn't. It was beautiful. That whole scene. From her telling him about the beach scene to him sacrificing himself. I was done after he died. I felt for Max.

Y’all were sleeping on billy I loved him in season 2

[@kd9083]

DJ Doodles thing is he didn’t really have that much content in season 2- the reason people weren’t talking much about it last season was because he didn’t have a ‘substantial’ and viral plot line and character arc development relevant to the course of the story. People are talking about him this season because he was literally the pinnacle of the story arc and how his physical character held the reigns of the terror of season 3

[@drizzy_2898]

Keddy Drake Keddy Drake in season two when he first came out of his car with max he seemed so bad ass n had a lot of potential to becoming a great character that season. But instead they didn’t focus on him or even max relationship or backstory. But in that one episode when his dad scares him n yells at him to find max. U can tell he was abused n that was why he treated his sister n everyone poorly. When he finds the kids he just turns into his dad. N beats them up. I Liked billy so much in season 2 because even tho we had little on him I could tell he was just a misunderstood character because they poorly written him in my opinion plus I liked i him so much because I could relate to him kinda.

[@kd9083]

DJ Doodles yeah I get that but his positioning in season two was the prepare for his prominent role in season 3. Despite being technically a reading accomplishing character is season 2- max was obviously supposed to be the focus of their relationship but his abusive background was to put context to their situation. Whereas in season 3 he is the focus of their relationship and builds with his mother and his abusive backstory that sows into season 2, you can’t ‘sleep’ on a character if they haven’t reached their fullest character arc development xoxo

I think it would have been cool to have seen him join the gang if he would have survived, it would have made an interesting shift in Billy and Max’s relationship. They most definitely could have done something but it’s also the casualty of this type of threat. I would have been really interesting to get to know more about billy but I loved this season too.

[@HannaPop2012]

Appart of being a beautiful and sexy human being, his performance and development in this season as Billy have on the edge. I cry like a little baby on a cold night abandoned with all those emotions and pain. He was never the bad guy or the enemy, he never choose his path but he just choose a way in wich life hurt him less. Amazing actor, i hope to see more of him because we know he can do a lot more than this.

one thing I love about watching interviews with Dacre is that he's so naturally well spoken; it makes hearing about his experiences and his moments in the industry so much more interesting to learn about imo

First time i watched an interview from him. Tbh, he seems to have a lot of potential as an actor and seems to really care about developing his acting....the part when he says that he talked to the duffer brothers to humanized Billy as a antagonist character, and they wrote the scene with his dad being an ass to Billy. I will be very surprised if Dacre doesn't get any movie contract in the future.

Billy was an asshole but, when it came to the truly evil things, he knew what he was doing (forced to) was indeed terrible and he felt guilty for it even though he was being controlled (so it technically wasn't his fault).

Jordyn Elliott hmmm no think ab killmonger from black panther. He went thru trauma and instead of channeling his pain into something positive he channeled it into something negative.

Why did Billy have to go? He’s the most broken and most interesting character. He evolved during s3 and he sadly didn’t have a choice to break free from the Mindflayer. I’m heart broken, I was hoping he would be rescued and we would have seen a closer relationship grow between Billy and Max since he went through this mess.

[@malabambii]

although his death was so heartbreaking i think it needed to happen in order for him to truly redeem himself.

[@ultimatedisaster5069]

Because people hated him, but once we learned the story we understood his importance. They wanted to show us something. We all miss Billy but don't worry, we still have Hopper.

[@jaygio]

They killed him off because that was part of the story and that's how stories work. Writers dont write to cater to your strange desires just because you enjoy someone. The story was written as it was because that's how they envisioned it. Go and wrote your own story and you can keep whoever you like alive. Billy served his purpose and his death was purposeful and meaningful. What's fascinating is that one of the most important characters, Hopper, died yet these teenage dorky girls are stuck on another character because they're attracted to him who didnt even mean shit to anyone or do what Hopper did for 4 seasons to save those that he loved.... absolutely mind blowing.

[@Kai-qf1gm]

He was broken because LIFE destroyed him as well as Hopper too.

Best actor/actress of season 1 -Millie Season 2 - Noah Season 3- Dacre (no doubt) P.S I'm not saying all the others suck..I'm just saying these were the people who blew my mind during the season

[@scully8950]

In their respective seasons they have the most interesting and most emotional story. I'm sorry for the other actors, some are seriously underutilized and have mediocre stories that don't value them. Fortunately they have other films in which they can shine, for example Charlie Heaton is brilliant in all his works and Finn Wolfhard is A +++ in IT and I hope he will have better roles in the future. Meanwhile I wait for The Elephant Man with Charlie and IT 2 and (above all) The Goldfinch with Finn.

[@khaivo616]

Alexie technically played a bigger role than billy, he was simply a host for the mind flayed that coincidentally had a troubled background so, they didn't carry anything, everyone plays their role, everyone deserves recognition, everyone got recognition, it's disrespectful to say that they carried the show when the other actors that played Dustin/Steve/Robin/Joyce/Hopper played their part perfectly and made a really good subplot that tied everything together. So do not say that they carried anything, because they didn't, everyone played their role.

Your looking at Hollywoods new megastar leading male. His persona if much more like a much older mega star leading male like Collin Farrell or tom cruise but in their youth. He's both a pretty boy and at the same time has that bad boy undertone, which makes him the definitive classic hollywood hearthrob which works in many different type of roles. no doubt he will go very far just as long as he takes the rite acting roles. Hollywood's gonna jump all over this guy. He has the full package. and pulls it off seemingly naturally. Hollywood scowers for just this type of actor, but often only get parts of the picture, seldom ever the full monte.

Christ almighty... teenage kids that get wrapped up on characters because of looks. Billy wasnt the star of the show and his character did exactly what it was supposed to, and the actor that played him did an amazing job. It's not that serious... meanwhile Hopper, who is 10000x more important to the story is gone and no one is batting an eye. It's amazing how simple comments on KZbin are so telling on who a person is.

[@keiairragrant7170]

Five Skin Okay first of all this is a video about Dacre so obviously I’m gonna comment about him or his character. Why would I mention Hopper? Who might I add is most likely still alive anyway. Second the only reason I’m replying to this is because you just came for my neck for no good reason. “Is so telling of who a person is” really? You can tell what type of person I am because I didn’t want Billy to die? It’s literally just a show it’s not that deep

[@anniebritton2609]

Five Skin The fact is maybe some people are going just for looks and some are not but we wanted to see character development out of Billy just because of the introduction he gave to us in season 2. We wanted to see him grow more as a big brother to Max but we never really got that until the end of season 3 when he apologized for the way he acted

[@catburglarlyssy]

Five Skin no one is batting an eye ??? Most people are upset about hopper if WAY MORE than they are about billy if you’ve been online at all, you’d know that. it’s also not about looks, it’s about the emotional connection, and seeing how much Billy actually meant to Max it’s also about character development and being interested in the backstory. you’re a bit delusional

[@heavenlynn2241]

Five Skin , your whole comment makes you sound so insecure.. you’re upset because “people like billy for his looks” ?

RIP BILLY

[@dazesaturn]

Some things that really stands out from Dacre is he's so well-spoken about how he sort of does his acting. The way he actually says he acts Billy in his eyes but then Flayed Billy in his physicality, the way he describes it being like I think he said it being like a rubber band? When it snaps that's when Billy breaks and stuff, it makes a lot of sense and the comparison is spot on. He's very passionate about being an actor and is sort of more vocal about his love for his craft in comparison to other interviews with actors I've seen (so far) and it's so nice to hear about it, I love to see people who are vocal or at least it can be seen that they love what they do and there's an actual passion in pursuit of their craft. You can definitely tell he's totally hardworking from the way he said he took a risk with the audition tape and did it right when he got the email, how much effort he's definitely put into his character (from talking to those behind the scenes about humanizing Billy to that need to make Billy part of the escapism Stranger Things provides). It's wonderful to hear him talk about these things.
