Charlie Heaton

Charlie Heaton strikes me as the quiet engine of Stranger Things. Jonathan Byers is an unglamorous part, the broke and awkward older brother, yet Heaton gives him a wounded watchfulness that grounds the whole show's supernatural noise. I suspect his past as a drummer in rock bands matters here: he has a musician's sense of timing and does his best acting in the pauses. His film choices, from Marrowbone to The Souvenir Part II, lean toward mood and melancholy rather than star vehicles, which tells me he is building a career on texture, not fame. That kind of patience usually pays off.
