Stranger Things star Dacre Montgomery has addressed his decision to retreat from the spotlight following his breakout role as the series’ antagonist, Billy Hargrove.
The 30-year-old Australian actor shot to fame for his portrayal of Billy, the abusive older stepbrother of Sadie Sink’s Max Mayfield, in Netflix’s hit sci-fi thriller. Introduced in season two, he appeared throughout season three before his character’s death in the finale, later returning briefly in season four through flashbacks and visions.
