Dacre Montgomery

Growing up, I was into 'Power Rangers.' ”

It's one huge arc right until you're in your early 20s. You're always changing and always learning, but it's very much that chapter in your life: fall crazy in love, become extremely angry at little things. It's a tumultuous time. ”

My parents worked in the film industry, but they both worked behind the camera, so I like to think that I have a really good understanding of how all the parts of the puzzle come together to make a film or TV show. ”

I was probably about 10 years old when I said to Mom, 'I'd really like to pursue a career in front of the camera.' ”

We'd be doing parkour on my high school roof; we'd get in trouble. But I was never a reckless kid. ”

Acting is my interest, but it opens up avenues. ”

I wasn't a good kid in school. I wasn't a bad kid. I just didn't focus. My grades weren't good. I mucked around, you know, a phase everyone went through. ”

I was a really big kid. ”

I like different actors for different reasons. There are people like Tom Cruise, who have continued to stay on top of their game, and Hugh Jackman, for being one of the hardest working people in Hollywood. ”

I'm looking for the thing that is different from the antagonist in 'Stranger Things,' different from the protagonist in 'Power Rangers,' and something that will really continue these two amazing opportunities I've been given. ”
