Stranger Things Prosthetics Designer and Makeup Effects Department Head Barrie Gower and his team are wizards at their craft. But, the ultimate combination in creature work is pairing top-tier effects artistry with an actor talented enough to infuse that craftsmanship with depth and emotion. That’s exactly what Jamie Campbell Bower does playing Vecna in Stranger Things Seasons 4 and 5.By the end of the hit Netflix series’ final season, Vecna has certainly cemented himself as the worst of the worst. He’s tortured targets, killed others, and attempted to execute an apocalyptic event. He’s a certified big bad, but he wasn’t always like that and in Vecna’s final moment of the series, Bower manages to slip in one last reminder of that.In celebration of Stranger Things’ big finish, Bower carved out time for a Collider Forces interview to revisit some of the most memorable achievements of his career thus far. He took us all the way from his very first role in Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street to his upcoming big project, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 3. And, of course, along the way, he dug deep into the making of Stranger Things. He broke down the eight-hour makeup process required to play Vecna, talked about seeing Millie Bobby Brown hone her craft, and explained how he tackled Vecna’s final scene in the show.
