‘Stranger Things’ Actor Noah Schnapp Reveals He Wasn’t Happy with His Audition

Date:

‘Stranger Things’ actor Noah Schnapp says he was not too happy with his audition.

The 13-year-old actor opened up during an interview with Just Jared’s RAW.

On his early acting days and auditioning for the Netflix series he says, “I remember going into the city four times a week for like Chase Bank and McDonald’s commercials. Then I started getting movie auditions, and I remember my first movie was with [Steven] Spielberg and Tom Hanks, which was pretty cool. They taught me all the basics and I just kept going.”

Schnapp added, “I remember auditioning for Stranger Things–it was called Montauk when we did it–and I had a horrible headache. It was raining, I was all wet and my ankles were full of mud. I got there and I was so tired. ‘Ugh, please let this be over with,’ I thought and then I got home and I was like, ‘Oh that wasn’t that good. I should’ve done better.’ Then I got a callback and it ended up being my first T.V. show.”

Schnapp also discussed his thoughts on the script.  “I just remember reading it and it was just kind of this idea. No one ever thought it was going to do really well and become a big show. It was just like, ‘Okay, we’ll do this. It’ll be a one season thing and few people will watch it.’ Because there weren’t any billboards or advertising!”
