Volume 1 of Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things 5’ shows the bond between Will (Noah Schnapp) and Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower)—here’s their mysterious connection, explained.
Jamie is a prolific actor and singer who has worked on major projects such as The Twilight Saga, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1, and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, among others.
