Jamie Campbell Bower is basically an English actor who’s best known for his role as Henry Creel / Vecna in Stranger Things series. Looking at his caliber, he was recently announced by Netflix to play a regular role of Peter Ballard.

Before going into the skin of his upcoming role, Jamie Campbell Bower has revealed to play big demo-creature Vecna, aka One in Netflix’s Stranger Things Season 4.

This is what the English actor has to say about his forthcoming role in Stranger Things 4, “I can only apologize to fans of the show for being part of such a massive red herring”.

The actor was previously being introduced as “Friendly Orderly” and he was tight lipped about his forthcoming performance.

Sometime back, Netflix announced Jamie Campbell Bower to be in the cast of season 4 and also announced him to play the regular role of Peter Ballard.

While announcing the above, Netflix gave a vague description, “A caring man who works as an orderly at a psychiatric hospital. Tired of the brutality he witnesses day after day, will Peter finally take a stand?” It read.

But it was all clarified in the season 4 finale, volume 1 that Bower will play the role of a kid having psychic powers inspiring Dr. Martin Brenner (Matthew Modine).

It was to launch the above program that gave Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown). This is what Bowel told, “I have no idea where the name Peter Ballard came from,” he gave an interview to Entertainment Weekly.

This is how he made his point, “I can only apologize to fans of the show for being part of such a massive red herring,” he said.

“I remember seeing it and being like, ‘Okay, guys. Cheers! That’s going to be a tough one if anybody asks me, but I’ll just go with the party line.'”

The series itself reveals that One (born Henry Creel) terrorized his own family with his great powers even before coming to Brenner’s facility. But after growing older, the doctor (papa), managed to implant a device right in the boy’s neck.

It was done to mainly surpass his abrupt psychic powers. And this forced him to precisely work as an orderly at the lab.

At present, the audience is totally unaware about his new avatar Vecna where he uses his powers to kill hundreds of teenagers in Hawkins. While giving an interview, the actor further revealed giving it a live touch. And so, he arranged a practical performance.

While doing so, he chose to wear the specially made costume and lented his deep voice to the creature.

This is how he clarified, “Yeah, that’s me doing the voice under the prosthetics,” he said. “It’s all me. Ninety percent is practical. The only thing that is not practical are the vines moving on the neck. The voice was an interesting thing. It took me a minute to get that.” the actor clarified.

He continued saying, “But it was hard as we were filming. Because the suit comes over the ears and the ear holes are very, very tiny, to be able to fully hear myself was quite difficult at the time.” he said.

Jamie Campbell Bower also shared his experience of wearing prosthetics for many hours. This is how he described the entire shoot, “When the costume was on, it was about applying those sensitivities that I created in my mind. The hand is this amazing thing that has all these metal wires in it, so the fingers become quite dextrous,” he said.

“Then on a practical level, there’s the weight of the thing. It weighs about 35-40 pounds, which is not loads, but when you’re wearing it for 10 hours and the predominant weight is on the shoulders and on the head, how do you make sure you’re not falling over? There’s that Kubrickian stare that I wanted to bring into it, as well.” he concluded.

Stranger Things Season 4 Volume I is currently being streamed at Netflix. The Volume II, which is going to have only two episodes is expected to get premiered on July 1.
