Dacre gave this character so much depth. Billy could've easily just been the hot bad guy but his eyes were so captivating and full of emotion. I loved him on the show
Notice when he's being threatening or intimidating, he doesn't blink. It makes him more terrifying. I believe Hopkins did the same in Silence of the Lambs.
Billy's character arc is so haunting. You want to love him, because you don't want to hate him, even though he gives you every reason to hate him. Just a stunning performance by Dacre, full of energy and depth. I've never been more heartbroken by the death of a villain in a series before. I always want to go back to the beach and protect that little boy.
@@Ethernet480 The final performance will always be better than the audition, they get a lot more time to prepare and hone everything. It's why an audition this good is so impressive
Billy's character added so much to the show. I was genuinely scared of him, at the same time I felt protective whenever he was with his dad, his eyes showed such deep mixed emotions and his death was an incredible scene. Dacre played it so so well
I felt the same way. I found him more scary then the monsters because he was so human! At first I hated him, but I really wanted to root for him in hopes he’d get better. It’s so interesting how in the end, he died a hero in his own way.
Yes, I agree! Season 3 is the best season of stranger things hands down thanks to Dacre. They made a mistake in killing him off! Hope they can figure out a way to bring him back!
The casting crew was probably like: we don't want him, we NEED him. It's him. It's Billy. That's Billy. No one else could be Billy. BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, I can't imagine anyone else as Billy.
Idek mate \•_•/ exactly...when he does mean, his eyes go dead. That and the smirking confidence at the end. I’m sure that last bit was him introducing himself to a woman.
@@bidmcms3 clearly none of you have had to audition . You don’t act out everything . You read lines and show your face in the camera to see how you look .
I always like to hand out my own little "emmy" for the best performance (imo) per season... this is what I have so far: Season 1 - Winona Ryder Season 2 - Noah Schnapp Season 3 - Dacre Montgomery Season 4 - Sadie Sink
@@Aro7241 Winona rider was the reason most people started watching and is the biggest actor in stranger things, I would beg to differ. Also given the fact that the entire plot revolves around Will, an argument could be made that he’s the main character
Made me sob, when he died. Somehow him being reminded of his mother at the Beach with him, and then him saving eleven, and that one last action, that made him a damaged but compassionate character. It really killed me.
After David Harbor, I think Dacre was easily the most talented actor in the series. Sad we won't get more of him. Billy was such an interesting character, and the true star of season 3
Out of context, the second scene looks/sounds like Billy's aggressive dancing is gonna knock the other kids out and Max is desperately trying to stop him.
Naturally, his actinv in the show was way better, but for not having any context, characters to talk to and a director’s supervision. THAT IS A MASTER PIECE
I actually thought he did excellent here! Honestly, slightly better than the original actor in "Stand By Me" which says a lot because the original was excellent too
His acting in this role as Billy was absolutely amazing. Billy to me was one of the best characters in Stranger Things. A multi-dimensional character. When he died saving Eleven it was heartbreaking. He had a hard life. Love how part of his audition tape is the dialogue of Keifer Sutherland's character in "Stand by Me".
Billy was my fave character, when he died I cried so hard I scared the crap outta my poor son. Lol. I wish he would have lasted longer. I didn't get enough Billy!! This was epic, watching him dance to Come on Eileen and Hungry Like the Wolf!!! He's such a super talented actor
I also think he was one of the best characters. Even tho he was a bad person i couldnt hate him and his death made me really sad. I wish he would have more screen time tho
Well, Billy never killed anyone.. The flayer did, through his body..Billy couldn't control it. The flayer made Will kill people to and no one talks about it.
Greyson Wayne no he played him perfectly. That is not an easy role to play and not look goofy. It’s a very exaggerated role so it’s so easy to look silly. He did it perfectly.
@@GweNgAveMeHeAd actually he said in an interview that he based the performance on his old bullies in school. So he just really knew because he had personal history with it. That and y'know, he's a pretty good actor
Wow. This is my first time seeing Dacre's audition - I already watched his performance in Stranger Things 2 and 3 - and I can honestly see how he acquired the role. This is an intense audition. He captured the soft-spoken menace that made Kiefer Sutherland so magnetic in Stand by Me, and his willingness to go crazy and dance felt genuine and bravely unrestrained. The inflection in his voice is very impressive, and his changes of facial expressions and tone are in-the-moment and raw. He could've made a great Billy Nolan in a (quality) remake of Carrie.
I don't know why but everytime I watched this series and Billy appeared...this played in my head: ruclips.net/video/aae_67tlvrE/видео.html Not a Rick roll, I swear😄🙏🏼
When a character can play a part so well that they can reach in to ur pocket of emotions and make u hate them or feel negatively toward him. He plays this part so well. And it added a lot to the show for the length of the time he was alive
a lot of actors when on set spend the whole day in the accent of the character because then it makes it easier so they don’t have to think about it as much when filming so it’s probably not all day when they do self tapes but easier to introduce themselves in it so they don’t have to suddenly switch
@@angelllerena5740 That's 100% true, and Dacre is one of those actors who stays in character between takes. But it's also common for non-American actors to keep their character's voice for the introduction because a lot of directors hate it when they feel an actor is putting on an accent, and will watch your audition with a much more sceptical eye. Which kills your chance to make a good first impression. This is especially important when you know they're browsing through a lot of tapes, and so are subconsciously looking for any excuse to put you in the "no" pile to narrow down the short-list.
His instincts, the choices he made through the whole thing is just...holy crap. I don't know what to say other than He's incredible!! Fantastic!! Talented!! I really wish we could have seen more of Dacre as Billy he is truly an amazing actor
He play his role too well, because in the beginning when he was captured, we were like ok he deserved it. But then the moment he got killed, we all got teary eyed. All these actors are awesome❤️ Thank you!!!
What a crazy good actor, everyone on Stranger Things is super solid but this guy just takes the crown, can't wait to see more of him. Edit: WELL, now he DEAD. My life has changed so much after posting this comment I had a fun time reading through it all tho.
Billy reminded me so much of my older brother. Definitely felt a lot of emotions about that. And it only made sense, considering a lot of aspects of our lives relate to the time frames of s/t. Dacre did an amazing job and I don't think anyone else could have hit me in the gut the way he did on such a personal level.
Dacre's acting in Season 3 was amazing.. I was so scared of him but my heart broke for him at times. When he was warning El and yet a tear rolled down his cheek... I had chills
He does so much with just a slight widening or squinting of his eyes, or the smallest curl of a lip, which is BRILLIANT. I think a lot of actors (unfortunately) don't give enough time to that part of the craft. Overall expressions, sure, you learn that in any two bit acting class - but the intricate movement of one or 2 features, and having the ability to know how and when to use them, is a true skill.
This is so true, with just one slight movement of one of his facial features he invokes emotions to the watchers of the scene, I actually had to replay parts of his acting in stranger things just for his expressions because I thought they were amazing.
Jason Munoz the whole cast are talented actors but for him to play the role that he did and play it in a variety of ways whilst his character changes throughout the seasons is phenomenal acting he did a great job of it can’t lie
Yeah it was hard to save him. Lol but I agree with you. Hard but not impossible. I wish they would’ve saved him. Maybe having it pierce him somewhere like his leg but then the gate closed and he was saved. Or maybe El had just enough power left to fight it off of him before the gate closed.
Bethany N I don’t think he’s in the prison. I think that’s the dude that was doing the experiments on Eleven. I think Hopper is trapped in the upside down
In a show with actual monsters, Billy is legit the most terrifying character. Dacre plays him so well.
I legit cried when billy died. I felt so bad for him :(
I thought that said Draco
Well he might come back in season 4. Because someone saw on his Instagram that he was dressed up as billy with bandages wrapped around his body

Dacre was so good at playing Billy he was definitely the most terrifying character even more than any of the monsters
No one was more terrifying than Vecna/Henry/001. Love Jamie. Billy was great but he definitely wasn't terrifying, just annoying.
I just realised when he was introducing himself he had an American accent even though he’s Aussie
i’m pretty sure he had to
Rhea probably
I think it's pretty common in audition tapes. in Millie's she introduced herself with an American accent too
a lot of actors when on set spend the whole day in the accent of the character because then it makes it easier so they don’t have to think about it as much when filming so it’s probably not all day when they do self tapes but easier to introduce themselves in it so they don’t have to suddenly switch
@@angelllerena5740 That's 100% true, and Dacre is one of those actors who stays in character between takes. But it's also common for non-American actors to keep their character's voice for the introduction because a lot of directors hate it when they feel an actor is putting on an accent, and will watch your audition with a much more sceptical eye. Which kills your chance to make a good first impression. This is especially important when you know they're browsing through a lot of tapes, and so are subconsciously looking for any excuse to put you in the "no" pile to narrow down the short-list.
This kid has a future in Hollywood..he has the “IT” factor...
FraggleRockz he’s losing his hair which could be an issue
Kales Went fr?
999 look at his frontal hairline in other pics
Kales Went I feel like he could be a Jack Nicholson or heath ledger with the intense acting, he’s so talented!!!

He play his role too well, because in the beginning when he was captured, we were like ok he deserved it. But then the moment he got killed, we all got teary eyed. All these actors are awesome❤️ Thank you!!!

YES
i was genuinely afraid of him during the seasons,
he PLAYED THIS CHARACTER SO WELL.
He was the best human choice for his character.
As opposed to all the animals that wanted the role? What are you talking about?
In your opinion, who was the best non-human choice?
Probably Banzai Hyena
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
i saw you on the Undercover vid
Dacre: Hi, I'm Dacre.
RUclips Subtitles: I'm digger
Cause we’re diggin him
Good thing his name wasnt Nacre amirite
Ashar Saleem OH NO
@@Ashar121 oop🤭🤭
Ashar Saleem OH MY GOD
Dacre needs to drop that skincare routine fr
He doesn't drink, smoke, or go out in the sun a lot. I'm sure diet plays a part as well.
you can check out his latest video for gq undercover. he answered this question 😛
eternalsunshine I Watched the video too 😂
I can tell you his routine if you're really interested. It goes like this > Genetics

Kimberley Conza lmao I didn’t even see your response
Billy reminded me so much of my older brother. Definitely felt a lot of emotions about that. And it only made sense, considering a lot of aspects of our lives relate to the time frames of s/t. Dacre did an amazing job and I don't think anyone else could have hit me in the gut the way he did on such a personal level.
Hating billy but loving Dacre is such a weird hate relationship
jeffy-squared I have that with Timothy Granaderos, I love him in real life and hate him in 13 Reasons Why lol
Amen, and nice profile pic
THIS IS SO TRUEEE
@@xjjuu2765 Everyone hates Bryce though.
@@radamstep I agree but the Actor who plays Bryce is also a great Dude. [I think his name is Justin Prentice]
Dude that ''Name's Billy. Nice to meet you.'' at the end is so hot lmao
A L T A R I U S HIS VOICE 😍😍😍

To bad he's dead

@@mowganashwey i think he died too... he wont answer me😭
He has one of those charmingly handsome faces - kind of reminds me of James Dean.
Rachel T he reminded me of James Dean too 😱
Rachel T JAMES DEAN IS MAH MAN KILLER (:::!!!!!!
Modern James Dean
Jason Dean??
Rachel T or Shrek when he turns into a human
Dacre's acting in Season 3 was amazing.. I was so scared of him but my heart broke for him at times. When he was warning El and yet a tear rolled down his cheek... I had chills
He is a great actor and i think what makes him even better is even though his character is an antagonist he is still somehow pretty charming and cool.
He does so much with just a slight widening or squinting of his eyes, or the smallest curl of a lip, which is BRILLIANT. I think a lot of actors (unfortunately) don't give enough time to that part of the craft. Overall expressions, sure, you learn that in any two bit acting class - but the intricate movement of one or 2 features, and having the ability to know how and when to use them, is a true skill.
This is so true, with just one slight movement of one of his facial features he invokes emotions to the watchers of the scene, I actually had to replay parts of his acting in stranger things just for his expressions because I thought they were amazing.
M J i replayed a lot of them as well 😭
Amazing performance for those who haven’t seen season 3 you’re in for a treat
It wasn't that great.
Jason Munoz the whole cast are talented actors but for him to play the role that he did and play it in a variety of ways whilst his character changes throughout the seasons is phenomenal acting he did a great job of it can’t lie
Jason Munoz the season or him
@@maul5578 the season. Not him, hes a good actor.
Jason Munoz yeah the season wasn’t amazing like the others but it got way better towards the end
The fact that he was bullied at school and played the bully so perfectly.
He is hands down one of the best actors in strangers things! I can’t believe they killed him off when he has THAT amount of talent
it was hard to save him
Yeah, it was hard to save him
Yeah it was hard to save him.
Lol but I agree with you. Hard but not impossible. I wish they would’ve saved him. Maybe having it pierce him somewhere like his leg but then the gate closed and he was saved. Or maybe El had just enough power left to fight it off of him before the gate closed.
He wanted to be killed off
I’m not sure if this is true for his character but some actors ask to be killed off so they can go play in other roles for different shows/movies
Roses are red
My heart is broken
Please keep the door 3 inches open
For the sake of your poor old dad. That made me cry
@Nehoy Menyoy ✏️ "no, not the American"... yeah, he's definitely still kicking
Lance Marcus NOO
Bethany N I don’t think he’s in the prison. I think that’s the dude that was doing the experiments on Eleven. I think Hopper is trapped in the upside down
That poor dad when the happened to him
I really hope he gets this role
Would be a great fit ngl
he’s already has he’s billy in stranger things season 2 and 3.
