Noah Schnapp, known for playing Will Byers in Stranger things, is only 15 years old and much more talented than the 'Stranger Things' showrunners, Matt and Ross Duffer knew. While casting the actor, the Duffer brothers knew they needed an actor that could play an integral role in a potential season 2 and beyond. Post October 2017, once Schnapp's 'MVP' performance on Stranger Things 2 debuted on Netflix, the Duffer brothers proudly admitted that they did not realize just how good their young actor could be.

Due to his breakout performance on Stranger Things 2, Schnapp receives no shortage of opportunities- including a starring role in the World War 2 drama 'Waiting for Anya', which is based on the 1990 novel of the same name by Michael Morpurgo. It took him all the way to the Pyrenees Mountains. Once there, he learned to herd sheep and fine-tune his French accent for the lead role of Jo, a 15-year-old shepherd boy who helps smuggle Jewish children to safety during World War 2.

`I've never worked with a hundred sheep before, and so much of the movie was me herding sheep,` Schnapp explained. `They actually had a real shepherd on set, and he would tell me the specific words to yell out. I would even hit their butts with a stick to get them to move. It was definitely complicated because half the time the sheep wouldn't listen... It took double the time because of the sheep, but it was authentic and really fun.`

Schnapp is also preparing for his imminent return to the 1980s, as Stranger Things 4 recently started production and revealed its first teaser last week.

Will found himself at odds with some of his pals in season 3 as they began to form romantic relationships and drift apart. During one heated exchange, Mike (Finn Wolfhard) snapped: "It's not my fault you don't like girls!"

Ever since then, fans have speculated about Will's sexuality- and now Noah himself has waded into the conversation. "There's nothing set in stone- some people perceive it as Will could be gay, asexual or whatever. Or, like how I see it, he was stuck in the Upside Down, and he was away for so long that all of his friends started growing up while he was in this other world,` he continued. "When he came back, everyone was all grown up, and he was still a little kid who still wanted to do little kid things like play D&D."

He suggested that a romance of any kind wasn't on the cards for Will anytime soon.

Waiting For Anya released on February 7th. Stranger Things was created by the Duffer Brothers and stars Winona Ryder, Millie Bobbie Brown, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Priah Ferguson, Cary Elwes, Jake Busey, and Maya Thurman-Hawke.
