In the aftermath of Stranger Things, this week we are diving into Jamie Campbell Bower - who played Vecna (and others) in Season 5! We talk about him as an actor, an artist, a slightly mysterious spiritual-feeling human, and yes… his dating history. We also talk about why he’s genuinely such a good actor, how he approaches darker roles with so much depth, and why he doesn’t give off typical Hollywood energy at all.
