There are so many scenes from Stranger Things, when she closes the gate at the end of season 2, for example. When she realises that Joyce will be there for her at the buoyancy bath near the end of season 1, the epic fight at the end of season 4, with the emotional strain trying to save Max from Vecna,... plus literally many more. And in Dasel, that BA scene at the end of the movie, with her walking away from the destruction of that evil royal family with the Dragon flying above her. But one scene which no one remembers was from Once Upon A Time In Wonderland, where she was a test for Alice to pass, playing both a good and evil version of young Alice, I knew that she was a really good actress, with great potential ahead of her.
The internet tried to slander Millie with ruinous edits depicting her as arrogant, chatty and rude. Yet everyone she's worked with says how kind she was
Reminds me of how the internet defames Tommy Tallarico, yet the only opinions I care about are from those who've actually worked with him, and I've never heard anything bad that way.
Reminds me of how people will say John Cena is a rude person irl (Although in some cases, yes John definitely was on a power trip), yet nearly everybody he’s worked with talks about how much respect they have for him
I went to high school with Noah’s stunt double for season 3, he said Millie can be chatty at times, but she was the sweetest to work with. I really don’t like the online slander of Millie, it’s disgusting especially when she was a minor
I feel that Millie faces so much scrutiny for merely being a young woman in Hollywood. It was really nice to hear a first hand account and not some pundit criticizing everything about her. Congrats on your role and look forward to seeing you in more.
Wow in a world where drama sells, it is so refreshing to hear someone talk good things about someone else. Happy to hear you had a good experience with her ❤
I think people strongly under estimate the importance of the scene where your character is getting electrocuted. We see..empathy with Henry. Even if he doesn’t really “care” or feel pity, he is disturbed by seeing this teenage boy be horrifically electrocuted. Even if it’s just “oh I know what that’s like, this is triggering some sort of ptsd for me”..that’s still in a way empathy. Which maybe..maybe could be tapped into later in series… he was but a human after all.
@@ternuraternurin68 Sure, but he was still disturbed by this scene. In a weird way I think Henry reasons with himself “I’m doing them a favor by killing them all, now they don’t get to spend their whole lives imprisoned as weapons. And the added benefit that they can’t later be used against MEL
It's so refreshing to see someone say something nice and positive about her. Social media is beyond toxic and all you ever see on there is people attacking her for her behaviour, the things that she says or her mannerisms. They'll attack her for pretty much anything. I don't understand it and we're all sick of seeing it, I don't know why people are so vicious these days. It's completely unnecessary especially when we don't know the person. It's like people forget that actors are humans too.
I think the young cast of stranger things were guided in such an incredible way. With all the incredible talent on the show I truly believe they are all humble and kind. They have incredible role models
Remembering and addressing all of the actors', extras' and staff members' names really shows what a character someone is, imo. I've also heard this about Jensen Ackles, who is also said to be a genuinely nice and kind guy and pleasure to work with. That Millie shows the same respect to the people she works with indicates that she's a very decent person.
Hii Tristan! You are such a great actor and an amazing inspiration! I was watching stranger things yesterday and noticed how amazing your performance was👏👏
I've met Millie Bobby Brown twice (once in 2019 and once in 2023 at two Fan Cons). She couldn't have been nicer to me and was a delight to meet. I've heard stories both good and bad about Millie, but your video proves one thing, and it's that Millie is a human like all of us, and as far as humans go, Millie is pretty chill. People can Love or hate Millie, but she's growing up in the spotlight and doing her damn best. We all aren't for everyone, so it's very admirable that Millie is being true to herself no matter what.
I think it's probably one of those things, like a fan or co-worker had one negative experience and it was blown way out of proportion. I've only ever heard nice, professional things about her from industry insiders.
AWESOME VIDEO! Millie is my age and she has inspired me since I was 13 by how professionally she carries herself. I definitely agree that the media has given her too much undeserved hate.
I kinda already knew that Millie Bobby Brown was not that rude, and this video is proof of that. We need more videos that shows Millie Bobby Brown is nice, and respectful to others.
I think the main reason ppl ran with her being rude is mainly because there was a lot of hate she was getting for being "annoying" or "too chatty" during interviews and stuff and it seemed like her cast members were annoyed with her too but in reality they are much more lax than she is which is why it seems like she was doing too much while they were more laid back
@@IssabellaPerezCruz7 ive seen old interview with kids and Natália. It was much better bc she controled situation. When one boy said something mean she stand up for millie but in nice way. They should do this everytime with child actors, so they will not be bullied as millie was
I think you did a fantastic job in Stranger Things. I really was not the hugest fan of 002, but in my opinion, the more you dislike a character, the better the actor is. I honestly thought that you were gonna be similar to 002 but now that I've watched a couple of your videos, I see that your nothing like him which just makes me like your character even more than I did before. Keep up the amazing work, you're doing great! Have a nice day!
Millie Bobby brown was always said to be a celebrity who’s full of herself and is a diva but in reality most people who have worked with her have said she’s lovely to work with. I don’t think she deserved all that hate as a child either she was just young and exited. Also great video!
People in the industry know that Millie was never the problem, she’s lovely. I know multiple people who worked on ST at Netflix and they said it’s her dad / manager who is a nightmare.
I just discovered your channel this morning. I am a improviser doing improv now for ongoing 5 years now at my local theater trying to make it in the semi-big leagues. Working with Millie is one of my dream goals after hearing how much kind and support she brings into the room. Thanks so much for talking with behind the scenes experience you've had with her Tristan. Thanks for the insights as well Tristan.
I feel like sometimes people forget that MOST people on working sets.. are just regular people. Yes, there will always be yes men/women, and there will always be spoiled brat actors. But MOST the time on set… everyone just feels normal. They’re coworkers. Everyone’s there for the same job, essentially. Whether you’re a boom operator, a PA, the director, main cast, background actor, stand in, stunt performer, prop master, or work craft services. I think most people tend to be taken aback by how normal actors are. Nine times out of ten (okay maybe more like 8 out of 10 lol) they’re just pretty typical, normal people who are at work. This is such the norm in fact that those spoiled pretentious Hollywood types almost always get a bad reputation on the inside and publicly. No one wants to work with them, or like them. They get left out of the fold. Everyone else lets them go pretend they’re super important, while the rest of the cast and crew go out to dinner or make emergency trips to Disney world (something walking dead actors did lol), or have movie night, or are just chilling on set together goofing off. You’re always going to run into those handful of actors if you work on sets. But the MAJORITY of people on sets are just normal people and actors would feel reeeeeeeal awkward if they were somehow treated wholly different, almost as if they’re a prop or something. It wouldnt be a good or conducive working environment to act like you’re better than everyone else, and most people understand that from the jump when on a working set, whether it’s their first project or they’re an international icon. How miserable would it be to work on a set where you can’t, don’t, or won’t get close to anyone who you don’t perceive as “on your level”…? It just rarely happens honestly.
I am happy to have seen this, because I adore her...and some of the stuff you see online one would think otherwise. Obviously can't believe all that. Love her!!!!!!!
I never heard about a series that’s awesome I’ll keep that in the back pocket. I also love how you can lower your own stakes on set by thinking you’re increasingly improving rather than hitting it out of the park first take. Give yourself the reasonable time you need. It’s a very unrealistic situation to be in so stay grounded and it won’t feel so high stakes.
Glad to hear my instincts about Millie as a person were right and the smear videos were just that. I think a lot of actor's getting known for being rude horrible people come down to what Iggy Pop once said: "A celebrity can never afford to be having a bad day in public. That's all it takes to get a reputation as a DIFFICULT celebrity..."
I hate that people make her out to be horrible. She’s amazing and genuine. And maybe if I’m lucky enough, I’ll get to meet her, she gets so much hate for absolutely no reason. I love this video! And your performance was AMAZING!!
Tbh I honestly believe Nikocado Avocado was doing an impression of Two (you) in his "Two Steps Ahead." Just wanted to throw that out there, Tristan. Anyway, I love the concept of the "series." It reminds me of the kicker on an NFL team practicing his field goal on his sidelines, before going for it for real on 4th down.
Tristan, your content really helps to inspire a lot of creators and no matter how big or small someone gets. It's all about honing your craft and doing it for the love of it. ❤ As a writer I take this on board.
Thank you so much this makes me happy to hear. What we do is only possible through great writing, so I appreciate you for doing the same! Thank you for watching my video!
Not an actor, DP here! Just a heads up on series slates, as an actor you can ask for them, but please try not to over do this, it does add to a DiTs job at the end of the day and makes records of which take is which slightly more complex, but outside of that, when shooting on film, 16mm or 35mm, you’ll only have approximately 10 minutes to actually do your take, and if you’re on an indie that doesn’t have much stock, don’t be surprised if the dp or director don’t let you do a series. Always ask if you need something though! Any HoD that is good at their job will try and help actors get the best performance possible, even if you ask for something that seems like a major change from the current structure of a scene, if you explain why you need something to all parties involved, and assuming it’s possible, crew will make it happen. That might mean doing a lighting change, changing the camera position ext. as long as you don’t go into it saying “no I won’t do this if I don’t get xyz” and it’s more of a conversation, asking for something will only grow your reputation, as cast and crew will see that you’re trying to make your performance the best it can be, even if what you asked for ends up not being possible
I love this perspective and thank you so much for sharing this! Yes, I would definitely only ask for the series on like a pivotal breakdown the character needs to have. I love that you mentioned to treat it like a conversation not a demand. I appreciate you for watching my video!
It must've been the best experience ever working with a lovely Spaniard like Millie. Now you're ICONIC and even if this isn't your most paid role it's your most known and popular
when you were talking about how most actors think that how big their role depends on the number of lines, my dad actually said the same thing, and I had entire refute against him 🤣 love ur vids, you manage to keep someone like me, who has a small attention span, engaged the entire time. Glad to hear Millie is a good person, tho my friend's dad worked w/ her on smth once, so I'm glad to hear from a second source as well. Love you and Millie, you're both such incredible actors/people!!!!!!!
This is wonderful Tristan...really interesting and insightful...thanks for sharing this with us all.. keep safe..well and enjoying what you do... God bless you... Very best wishes from Bob in Bristol uk !
Love this video! Calling people by their name is so important - one of my tutors at music school (Patrick Duff from the band Strangelove) did that with us and he was beloved by all (though it was also because he had such a different, quirky personality). Getting your body in the right "state" before starting and the "series" thing are such useful tricks to know. I wish they taught us these things in acting/drama school (spoiler alert: they didn't, but we did do a lot of yoga and wandering around the room "experimenting" all the letters of the alphabet 🤦♀🙄 )
I love Stranger Things, I love the two Enola Holmes movies. I even love the Once Upon A Time In Wonderland TV Series too. The Damsel movie was really quite good too, no matter what the critics say. So, it is nice to see that she is nice in person too, no matter how the media try to twist things.
Some people dont like confident women and try to depict them as self centred and b*tchy I remember lots of ppl on the internet making clips of her trying to show her as “rude” …
I was a teacher of young children- I learnt life changing life lessons from my students. She has nothing to do with it, don’t think you can’t learn from anyone of any age. I love the light of this video.
This is PREMIUM advice to actors that turn down roles based on how many lines a character has in addition to screentime of course, but in reality could lead to bigger things if they do well with the body/facial expressions❤
It's so refreshing to hear of a A list actor actually being a genuinely good person when on set, of course you have keanu reeves who truly is the nicest guy in Hollywood (which is why Hollywood hates him), Denzel Washington and Robert denero but I'm struggling to think of many other examples.
She was super kind when they all came to the Denver comic con. Her parents, maybe her Dad, was always with her, but let her talk and stepped in when needed. (she was underage at the time)
These are things audiences don’t think about, and when one of your favorite actors isn’t cast as much as you would like, it might because they don’t follow roles like these. Also it’s why they cast the same actors instead of taking a chance on new actors because it’s hard to know what you’re getting sometimes when you hire and script and if Scarlet Johansson has proved herself as a qualified, easy to work with actor, then it’s less risk they have to think about.
Your acting was so good it surprised me so much like honestly kept repeating your scenes !!! Your the best wish you was in season 5 but vecna just slaughtered Everyone
i see you made a video from a comment i posted, i know you made a short a while ago but this is dope! i'm glad you learned a lot from Millie! lets go! by the way you were awesome !hope to see you in more projects soon.
Hey Tristan, I signed up for your community because you're very skilled and experienced. I don't want to walk on to a set green and I think this community could really help me with that, I certainly know a good amount about acting but I'm just not comfortable with letting this opportunity slip by without any effort on my end.
Wow that is amazing, thank you so much for such an insightful and helpful video! If you don’t mind me asking, train/ coach with? Your acting chops are really good!🔥
I keep hearing from the people who've actually worked with her that she's great on set. Don't know why people got so interested in trying to make her look nasty, it just makes them look like caty a-holes tbh. Loved hearing your stories from the show! Season 4 was awesome, loved all the Lab scenes.
Currently making the biggest homemade movie in my series I'm making on my channel, and these little lessons taught me alot that I didnt know before. I'll be sure to keep these in mind for when I do film it!
I've always felt that being in a production of any kind was an all-for-one experience. The small exception is that the director gets the credit but also gets the blame. Still, when you're there it's a group effort. I would imagine that in some cases it's not that and for those it must be kind of miserable on set and probably translates to being not much of a success in the end. On the "series" or ramping things up, I was probably doing the same thing without knowing it when I was in that small film where I played a bad guy. I remember thinking of a behind the scenes doc that Stanley Kubrick's daughter did on The Shining and watching Jack Nicholson doing the same kind of thing you described. So, I did the same thing Nicholson did for The Shining on our, set going through the scenes over and over and building it up. I worried that I might be taking it too far but I figured the director would tell me if that was the case. Anyway, this was a great video! Thanks!
Dude I really want to be an actor, can you give me some tips on how to get there, I’m 13 and is there anything a younger actor should know, I know you mentioned some in the video.

Eleven and Hopper reunite.

But one scene which no one remembers was from Once Upon A Time In Wonderland, where she was a test for Alice to pass, playing both a good and evil version of young Alice, I knew that she was a really good actress, with great potential ahead of her.
@@darrenbent7601recommend watching her in Intruders
The internet tried to slander Millie with ruinous edits depicting her as arrogant, chatty and rude. Yet everyone she's worked with says how kind she was

Because of that one interview she was annoyed by her fans
Never saw such a thing… wait I do. Rachel Zegler just going trough the same thing.
I went to high school with Noah’s stunt double for season 3, he said Millie can be chatty at times, but she was the sweetest to work with. I really don’t like the online slander of Millie, it’s disgusting especially when she was a minor
Wh- your so lucky😔🙏🏻

Thanks for watching!
Wow, I'm going to have to get used to hear "Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi" lol. Great video btw! Love hearing about your time on Stranger Things. 😀

when you were talking about how most actors think that how big their role depends on the number of lines, my dad actually said the same thing, and I had entire refute against him 🤣
love ur vids, you manage to keep someone like me, who has a small attention span, engaged the entire time. Glad to hear Millie is a good person, tho my friend's dad worked w/ her on smth once, so I'm glad to hear from a second source as well. Love you and Millie, you're both such incredible actors/people!!!!!!!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Also, I really loved your performance by the way! You could really see your commitment to the role. Well done! 😊
Fantastic role. Great video.
Dude, I thought you were so good as 002! Your vids are awesome! Have a great day! 😊
This is wonderful Tristan...really interesting and insightful...thanks for sharing this with us all..
keep safe..well and enjoying what you do...
God bless you...
Very best wishes from Bob in Bristol uk !
Everytime i saw the scene where u were saying she was weak i got so mad! that proves how good of a actor you are
Really cool behind-the-scenes info about such a great show. Thank you for an awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed!
I just can stop loving this cute girl she is really beautiful and kind I wish I can meet her irl she is really great girl I love you Millie ❤️❤️❤️
Love this video! Calling people by their name is so important - one of my tutors at music school (Patrick Duff from the band Strangelove) did that with us and he was beloved by all (though it was also because he had such a different, quirky personality). Getting your body in the right "state" before starting and the "series" thing are such useful tricks to know. I wish they taught us these things in acting/drama school (spoiler alert: they didn't, but we did do a lot of yoga and wandering around the room "experimenting" all the letters of the alphabet 🤦♀🙄 )
You are a good teacher!
Wow, great video! Thanks for the insights about MBB and thank you for letting us into your world!
Thank you and hopefully this taught a few cool acting lessons in the process!
you were great as 002!
I love Stranger Things, I love the two Enola Holmes movies. I even love the Once Upon A Time In Wonderland TV Series too. The Damsel movie was really quite good too, no matter what the critics say. So, it is nice to see that she is nice in person too, no matter how the media try to twist things.
3:35 is why i love the character Norm from the Fallout tv show
Some people dont like confident women and try to depict them as self centred and b*tchy I remember lots of ppl on the internet making clips of her trying to show her as “rude” …
Very impressed by your performance also i am looking forward your other works 👏
I was a teacher of young children- I learnt life changing life lessons from my students. She has nothing to do with it, don’t think you can’t learn from anyone of any age. I love the light of this video.
Loved it! It's amazing to know❤
This is PREMIUM advice to actors that turn down roles based on how many lines a character has in addition to screentime of course, but in reality could lead to bigger things if they do well with the body/facial expressions❤
It's so refreshing to hear of a A list actor actually being a genuinely good person when on set, of course you have keanu reeves who truly is the nicest guy in Hollywood (which is why Hollywood hates him), Denzel Washington and Robert denero but I'm struggling to think of many other examples.
She was super kind when they all came to the Denver comic con. Her parents, maybe her Dad, was always with her, but let her talk and stepped in when needed. (she was underage at the time)
I loved your character dude! 2 made me really mad adn upset for 11, you did a great job!
this video is such good quality omggg
I mean, how awesome is that! I love positivity on the internet
You did a great job as 2 in stranger things bro I subscribed to you
Great video !
Thanks for watching!
Your electrocution scene broke me. It was so heartbreaking. You did a fabulous job.
I'm glad I watched this post, I normally see bad stuff written about her being a Diva etc.
These are things audiences don’t think about, and when one of your favorite actors isn’t cast as much as you would like, it might because they don’t follow roles like these. Also it’s why they cast the same actors instead of taking a chance on new actors because it’s hard to know what you’re getting sometimes when you hire and script and if Scarlet Johansson has proved herself as a qualified, easy to work with actor, then it’s less risk they have to think about.
Your acting was so good it surprised me so much like honestly kept repeating your scenes !!! Your the best wish you was in season 5 but vecna just slaughtered Everyone
Her talent is something else. She reminds me of Elisabeth Moss a little bit. I wanna hear her deliver “DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!!!!!”
Lol. I'm in love with his voice...
i see you made a video from a comment i posted, i know you made a short a while ago but this is dope! i'm glad you learned a lot from Millie! lets go! by the way you were awesome !hope to see you in more projects soon.
Hey Tristan, I signed up for your community because you're very skilled and experienced. I don't want to walk on to a set green and I think this community could really help me with that, I certainly know a good amount about acting but I'm just not comfortable with letting this opportunity slip by without any effort on my end.
Wow that is amazing, thank you so much for such an insightful and helpful video! If you don’t mind me asking, train/ coach with? Your acting chops are really good!🔥
I keep hearing from the people who've actually worked with her that she's great on set. Don't know why people got so interested in trying to make her look nasty, it just makes them look like caty a-holes tbh. Loved hearing your stories from the show! Season 4 was awesome, loved all the Lab scenes.
This is amazing I subbed to you I love st you just got a new fan❤❤❤❤
The picture you had up makes it look like she could play Dorothy in a Wizard of Oz remake
Just wanna say, you were intimidating AF in season 4. Congrats👏
Can you reply im a massive fan loved your work
I don't understand why people don't talk about his acting too because he did an amazing job in my opinion
At least we know she’s super sweet in real life
I believe that your acting was incredible. :))
Currently making the biggest homemade movie in my series I'm making on my channel, and these little lessons taught me alot that I didnt know before. I'll be sure to keep these in mind for when I do film it!

Can you slide me one
I've always felt that being in a production of any kind was an all-for-one experience. The small exception is that the director gets the credit but also gets the blame. Still, when you're there it's a group effort. I would imagine that in some cases it's not that and for those it must be kind of miserable on set and probably translates to being not much of a success in the end. On the "series" or ramping things up, I was probably doing the same thing without knowing it when I was in that small film where I played a bad guy. I remember thinking of a behind the scenes doc that Stanley Kubrick's daughter did on The Shining and watching Jack Nicholson doing the same kind of thing you described. So, I did the same thing Nicholson did for The Shining on our, set going through the scenes over and over and building it up. I worried that I might be taking it too far but I figured the director would tell me if that was the case. Anyway, this was a great video! Thanks!
so cool im so exited for season 5! are you Tristan?
Dude I really want to be an actor, can you give me some tips on how to get there, I’m 13 and is there anything a younger actor should know, I know you mentioned some in the video.
