Stranger Things’ Dacre Montgomery’s Insane 'Billy' Audition Tape | GQ 
Развлечения
You can tell he knows what he's doing by his eyes. The eyes are such a key part of acting, his blocking is also very precise.
Wanna be
I’m a film editor, i cut shows like this and the eyes are the first place I look for performance.
But nice try though. 🤣🤣🤣
@@MarkHoltze what do you mean when you say blocking?
I agree
@@slembo yeah I dont get it.
Billy:😤😎😡🔪🚬🔫
Dacre:☺️😇😍❤️💓💘
😂😂
literally so accurate
For real 😂💗💞
*Michael Jackson* *Eilish* h
U ok
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
FOR REAL
He’s not even a “hot bad guy” HES RACIST AND ABUSIVE💀😰
@@lunaluna8677 it's a show 💀
@@lunaluna8677 racist??
@@lunaluna8677 yeah that’s called being bad
Steve, Billy and Eddie would’ve been a really insane trio that I so badly wished existed.
Sadly Steve or Eddie gonna die too
yeah they should've just killed jonathan instead he's boring 😂
Yeah!
Omg yes!
literally man !
He was the perfect stereotypical troubled 80's bully. No one else would have made that role justice.
John Bender was good too & Dallas Winston
The fact that he’s able to play mean roles well because he used to be bullied at school makes this so sad :(
Sweet Insanity Zach Efron maybe 💀
hEnRy BoWeRs
*gave*
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.
It's a very common thing with threatening or terrifying characters. It gives the impression of something inhuman.
Yep!
Spotlightgopz same with Jake Gyllenhaal in Nighrcrawler
@@abigruber I really need to watch Nightcrawler!
Gyllenhaal is freakin awesome in Nightcrawler. Even his face looks weird and different than it usually does.
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.
Oh, but I _did_ want to hate him. He really didn't do much to make me want to like him.
@@Corn0nTheCobb ok
I DID hate him, tf y’all on about
um, naw I hated him. 🤨
I hates him smmmm but idk near the end when he realizes everything abt what el said I started to actually wanna like him
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.
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
@@lillianhunt9248 there’s no way he survived that
@@maysoon9740 Yeah probably not but it could still happen
I want him to play lots of emotionally unstable characters
Yes
He is the new Wolverine in Marvel
Because he does it so well 👌
Too much of that will ruin the actor. That’s why most of them have a lot of diverse roles. But yeah I see where your going
@@itsproof2 ruin the actor? How so?
“He’s kinda..” YEAH HE IS 😭
Fr
ADRIAN?? 🤭
Adrian?? U watch stranger things?
@@thegamingyeti_s5582 Yes
This is most factual statement ever.
he has this like perfect scary smile. it’s so hard to explain but it’s so good for the role he played, it’s actually insane
Anthony starr has that smile
Plus it's his voice. It's hot and intimidating lol. He hides his Aussie accent well.
It’s so hot
Very 80s type of acting thats why it was perfect.
Too truee
This is dumbest comment in the history of comments
cOmInO you know this isn’t his actual audition tape right
@nasser wiz just the kinda cheesier style everything had
cOmInO it was set in 1984😂
I completely understand how the Stranger Things people saw this and were like “he’s the one”
Seriously this guy is hot 🔥
And I completely understand that 7k people agree in only 2 days
Idk he’s definitely good but his actual performances are way better than the auditions....most likely the same for most people
@@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
9 thousand likes and 5 reply’s ..... hmmmm idc bout this
He made up most of Billy's mannerisms, I didn't know that!
Doing the nasaly voice when threatening someone, all the facial expressions, i love it!
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
Poor David :(
None for the actual lead of the show eh?
@@Aro7241 idk, I would say that 3 of those are pretty main characters!!! Who would you say?
@@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
Where is Millie? Her performance of Eleven is so expressive even if she doesn’t have a lot of dialogue
he coulda played ted bundy so well
Omg yeah
elsa i strongly agree
elsa but not the zac Efron version like a very graphic depiction of the documentary
Yeah I agree
elsa Do you have instagram
Omg he’s so good!! He seems so nice in real life but was sooo scary and believable in stranger things. Definitely the sign of an amazing actor!
Audrey Victoria love your channel 💖
panic! at the pilots love your profile pic 👌
agreed! i hated him on the show sm but he's seems so nice in interviews
Yyyassss his acting is so good like he’s so nice then when he is acting as billy he’s like a whole different person
Audrey Victoria IKR
I was genuinely scared and intimidated by his character in the show. His eyes, his way of saying the lines, the performance was literally perfect.
Dacre is a very talented actor. I wish Billy had more screen time
I feel like he was born for Billy role. Just so perfect.
Yassss
fr
Ikr like slay
Billy: says his name
Me: He's a really good actor
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎
😎

Lame
Billy reminded me of my brother and I’s relationship. The anger and yet the protective/ potential good in him that makes you not want to hate him
Yet you can’t forgive or forget what they did to you and how they made you feel
mine too! unfortunately mine died 3 months ago.. so when Billy actually died in show I couldn’t stop crying.
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
He's good. His facial expressions are amazing
So is his face in general
And he’s gorgeous
Reminds me of brad Pitt and Boyd Holbrook
O
...Facial expressions are what actors do you know, it's their job.
i think they chose him because...
1. his acting of course
2. the deadness in his eyes when he acts like this
Idek mate \•_•/ his sarcasm is beautiful im in shock
And his voice ! He has an amazing voice 😍
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.
jesslynnrenn there’s already a trailer for the new joker movie
Nah just cause he got good looks😂
He played this character so well I felt like Billy is a real life person no one could’ve played this part better than him no one!
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 could never be serious doing this type of thing...i’d just walk into frame and already start bursting out laughing
Melissa and Kaylee samee😂
Lmfao trueee
Same
Melissa and Kaylee
Me too🤣🤣🤣🤣
Melissa and Kaylee
I was actually laughing when I first started and all I was doing was watching😭😭😭😭😭
This guy acting is pretty good
mlesure pretty ? This is great tf
mlesure more like really good
Pretty try very😂😂
This is phenominal acting
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 can’t wait to see the other characters he’ll play in the future. He seems like he’ll have some very iconic roles
He's a great actor
With dreamy blue eyes
Dam Max’s voice was hella deep
Alexis lmfao
Alexis puberty huh?
I just spit my food because of you
Who’s max
antonia aguirre Goldilocks
i was genuinely afraid of him during the seasons,
he PLAYED THIS CHARACTER SO WELL.
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
he's very beautiful
Thanks
Binja Ninja your welcome
Lemons EXtREmLY!
True
yes lime , yes he is
with an audition tape like this how could he not get the role
Lotte Spaans Wym,this was his audition for billy and he obviously got billy😂im confused
@@tpwkboop572 She means it like how is it possible for him not to get the role
@@tpwkboop572 are you confused most of the time? 😑
Madelyn Shaver i meant like of course are they going to give him the part this tape is insanely good
@@tpwkboop572 dumbass
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!!!
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
steve: daddy daycare
dacre: daddy dacre
Oh my god
Smeeze Yassssss

Omfg yes
Acting. Slayed
Yes!
Didn't know you were here wow
REBECCA
Just like his character.
@@elijahprather8573 NOO-
He did so good! I don’t how actors do it, I wouldn’t be able to say the first line without bursting out laughing
source?
I usually don't have opinions on actors but this guy. Got a feeling he's gonna be a legend. Billy was such a believable character
if they ever remake the outsiders PLEASE make him a greaser oml
ella k possibly darry
@@yungplague5475 No he could play dally mmmm 😉
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING!
Amber Hill that’s what I thought
Amber Hill no he should be johnnys dog
Sometimes I feel like I could be an actor, and then I watch audition tapes like this and I could NEVER
Lexi Adams yes omg
I know that feeling sis
I could never, I can’t keep a straight face
Dude same
You can
I started smiling uncontrollably half way through and couldn’t stop ☺️
I'm so glad dacre got the roll, not only was he someone I fangirled over but he played a very important part in the show.
L
@@amani1022 ?
He looks like a perfect mix of human shrek and zac Efron
He almost looks like Boyd Holbrook's twin or son. I though it was him at first lol.
Dr Mittens PhD sjskksks
Trinity K ok i seeee.
Yes
He looks like fetus Rob Lowe.
i have to say he was the absolute highlight of season 3. what incredible presence and conviction.
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!
TWORARETWOSPARE Please name spoiler alert before saying that, you just kinda ruined it for me 😬
@@ohsnapitzmaud9553 it's been weeks, just watch it already
This late, I feel like you're playing roulette browsing the comments section
No. Dustin and Steve's friendship was the highlight of all of stranger things. Haha
he plays it so naturally, even with the lack of context
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 so in touch with that character, he just falls out of reality. It's amazing.
Dramatic...Inspiring...
Lisa right!
Well I mean, it's his job
No
one day got 8.6 likes this video was released almost 2 years ago
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.
Dd brown yeah but not without the hair and mustache lol
@@emersontaylor396 true I guess. But I mean, I really can't see anyone else play Billy XD
Dd brown can you not see anyone else play billy?
@@platonicateak no I really cannot. Especially after this tape.
He was literal perfection for this role!
This is no audition anymore, this is ART! This is by far the best one ive ever see.
I fell in love with Billy. His duality was scary and adorable. Excellent actor👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤
okay off topic but hiS EYES ARE SO PRETTY AND HIS EYELASHES ARE SO LONG OH MY GODDD
Kameron W. Completely on topic
Leya The Enthusiast you know, she had to say that, cause shes a girl
The first time i saw him i literally discarded everything and just looked at his eyes
Ikr? His eyes are so shiny and sparkly
Mmk
He's so good at acting insane
annoying book gir
A little too good...
ezra I would say its ..... strange
@@annoyingbookgirl nah I've seen *stranger things*
How do u know he is a acting lol
Such control and range. I love how he takes his time and walks into a scene. Great acting.
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.
he is a brilliant actor, definitely one to watch out for in the future for sure
Definitely!
He was the red power ranger in the recent remake!
I fell in love with him the day power rangers came out
I thought you said "furniture store"
Pretty much like every young actor on this show
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
@The Iron-hearted Wolf Winona is the definition of cringe
i loved joe keerys acting
I want to like but rn the number of likes is 353 and I don’t wanna ruin that
@@gracemc13 Haha, you made my day 😂 Thanks for the consideration, but It's already "ruined" 😉
LET’S BE HONEST WITH OURSELVES, THEY’RE ALL TALENTED AND YOU CAN’T COMPARE THEM
Watching him just dancing is actually hilarious
He played his character soooo well!! Really great actor
2:04 when someone roasts you mid-argument but you can’t think of a good enough comeback
Alan Inocentes I FELT THAT 😂💀
yes
LMAO
I felt that
🤣🤣🤣
The random dance breaks tho😂
I’m dying laughing lol
The made him dance in a g-string while listening to 80s music for it 😂
BlurryFaced Crybaby! at The Disco I LOVE YOUR NAME
Thaaaaaaanks
G-String? I'm weak 😂
his eyes are so captivating it’s so sincere in the feeling of the scene
His eyes are so expressive 🥹
It's almost like this isn't an audition, he's totally in character and like the background is just blue for some reason 😂
Soner Sezgin your profile pic is 👌👌👌
That,,, that is in fact,, an audition
He was perfect choice for the role👍
Ikr, I usually find audition tapes to be super cringe but this is actually good
I like to imagine it’s photoshopped to a blue background lol
Dacre- *dances*
Person- BILLY SLOW DOWN
Dacre- *dancing intensifies*
Did you watch season 2?
@@BbBoY161 yeah I did. he's doing the scene with Max in the car
Why’d you say person if you know it’s max?
sTrAnGeR tHiNgS they didn’t say billy did they? No, they said Dacre. So obviously they aren’t gonna say max
Lol yeah. And how is it possible that he doesn’t know the lyrics to those songs!?! Lmao!! 😂
THE DANCING PART THO 😂
Finally, a real audition tape. Not some fake skit tape for promotion.
I like seeing what he actual did to get the gig. So cool.
This has to be one of the most captivating audition tapes I’ve ever seen. He’s so professional yet so natural. Perfect actor for Billy Hargrove
you sheep, you "people" are so amused by the simplest things huh
ikr ❤❤❤
Captivating ? Tf you know anime boy ?
It’s actually pretty crappy acting lol
Especially for how amazing he was in the actual show
@@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 .
Dacre: *Wear a black leather jacket*
Me as a director: Perfect for the role. YOU’RE HIRED.
peeraya prompakdee *Wears
I think it's because they had him audition doing the classic scene at the end of the movie "Stand By Me" where he is playing Keifer Sutherland's character ….. same dialogue & outfit etc
Haha
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎
😎
😎
You never watched Stand By Me :(
2:26 got me busting out laughing 😭
Sameeee 😭💀
Dacre played his part so well. He was actually my favourite character.
It's amazing to see him play such a toxic character when you knew he also played the red ranger in power rangers. A really amazing actor.
Yutappy wtf I didn’t know that !
He was great in the Power Rangers. Great Movie that developes the characters so you care about them.
He was great in the Power Rangers. Great Movie that developes the characters so you care about them.
WAIT A MINUTE
HE WAS THE RED POWER RANGER???
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.
Literally sameee
Was so sad!
I legit cried for 10 minutes after he died
literally!
I feel it , it circled back to redemption.
The fact that he was bullied at school and played the bully so perfectly.
Is that really an audition? It feels like he's already in the show. That acting was so good.
This guy is a very good actor
what are you doing here boi
ggf
Big fan :)
Especially in thr scene he is scared of his dad.
NJOverclocked yessssss
He slayed waaaaaaay more while filming. The casting is good but when he gets into Billy... man, this guy knows how to play.
4:08 I bet this was the part where they knew he was definitely going to be Billy. It fitted perfectly
Max: billy stop! Stop! Thats not funny!

How did you like billy... he was a racist and a jerk to Steve the other character you like
caleb he risked his life for everyone..
@@delaneycarla no he didnt he just grabbed an arm/tentacle that was going straight at him that was going to kill him
I hate his character but man... those eyes, I still keep watching his scenes even though I hate his guts I can't stop looking at his eyes with those long eyelashes man..
evieramosi there not even long lol
I mean his eyelashes are longer than mine.
yeah i hate his character because he plays the heel role so well, his acting is amazing…
evieramosi idk if I️ found a new celeb crush. MY LIFE IS CRUMBLING TO THE GROUNDDD FIRST IT WAS COLE SPROUSE THEN DAVEED DIGGS NOW ITS MAYBE DACRE MONTGOMERY
that's what fangirls do.. like me hehe.
The fact when billy died it was my first time tearing up during a movie/show😢
The hand movements and then the looks just make it so perfect
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.
Kayla C im crying oh my god
Omg 😂😂😂😂
Kayla C omg every time I watch that bit, I'm gonna think of this
I can't breathe hahahahahaha made my day
well half of it were similar to the script in the scene where we first see max and billy getting out of the car (not sure what episode that was)
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
The audition for scene 2 is just so 💯 good!!! Love that scene!
3:33 when hungry like the wolf by Duran Duran started playing omg 🤍
1:51 is me when I feel a sneeze coming up but it won’t come

Dad! Dad! No
This made my whole day ❤️ I couldn't connect them before because of the mullet but now I see the actor who became Billy 🙌
Billy forever💓
I’ve never had a bigger man crush than Dacre Montgomery. I wanna be his Mrs. Wheeler.
Don't get wet
Yeahhh, you don't. Trust me on this.
im in love with him now hes sooo hot
It’ll be over soon just try not to move to much😳
Not really *his*...might wanna watch Season 3.
He is a great actor and I think no other person could have played Billy as good as him. That character was meant for him. Great audition.
I totally agree...
We're just used to him is all
He made season 3 great sadly he dead
@@bailey2624 i hope something brings him back to life! I mean its called stranger things for a reason
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.
No wonder he got the part. He looks just like Billy!
Amazing audition tape. Needed more Billy in the show
