Before starring on “Outer Banks,” Chase Stokes got his Netflix start on the first season of “Stranger Things.” In the episode “Chapter Six: The Monster,” he briefly appears as Reed, a troublesome classmate at Hawkins High School. Yet, while talking to Access Hollywood during the Pougelandia event, Stokes revealed that he actually auditioned for the part of Steve Harrington. Fans of “Stranger Things” should be familiar with just how big of a role that would have been for Stokes, as the character famously played by Joe Keery plays in some of the series’ most key moments, and now impossible to imagine not a part of the cast.
Stokes admitted in the interview that he missed out on the part of Steve because he messed up his audition. “I forgot all the lines and absolutely effed up the audition,” Stokes told Access Hollywood. “I drove eight hours from Atlanta back to Orlando, regretting every moment of my life on that.” That must have been a crushing blow for Stokes at the time, but everything did work out for him in the end. Further in the interview, Stokes had nothing but praise for Keery. And he also added that thanks to his blink-and-you-might-miss-it appearance on “Stranger Things,” he ultimately got to star on “Outer Banks.” Stokes said in the interview that some of the same producers worked on both shows.
Stokes will get plenty of screen time soon, as Season 3 of “Outer Banks” airs on Netflix on February 23, 2023. In addition, Season 4 of the teen series has already been renewed.
