“Art offers a sense of constant evolution, so I never want to get to the place where I’m comfortable. I always want to be pushing myself and pushing my boundaries. For Vecna, I pushed myself further than anything I’ve ever done before.” Never has the internet loved a villain quite so much as the way that Stranger Things’ Vecna has been embraced. It’s been one month since the world was introduced to the nefarious Vecna in the show’s fourth season, and the humanoid monster played by @bowerjamie continues to haunt us all. Now, as he covers our Autumn/Fall 22 issue, the actor reflects on his eight-hour costume transformation, tales of set life and the moodboarding methods that come with preparing to play a beast.
