She’s been running away from that for so many years and turning into this… whatever she is. It’s reminding her, reminding Kali where she comes from, that this love is very essential to who she was and who she is. They knew each other when they were children, and she loved Eleven. What do you think Kali sees in Eleven when she comes back into her life? I feel like that’s a big part of Stranger Things anyway: sometimes you can see things that other people can’t. What she’s doing to Eleven is making her doubt her own vision of who she is. Kali has the ability to see things and to change it up for people. There’s some epic thing you can’t really see. It’s about seeing things, and in relation to what happened this season, the problem with a lot of the characters is that they can’t see the Shadow Monster. How do you feel that power informs the character, thematically? Is there something here about actualizing the vision? Kali can make people see anything she wants them to see. 'Stranger Things': Every Episode So Far, Ranked Sometimes I feel like I could learn from that! She has a very clear vision for her life and what she believes in. But for the most part, she doesn’t really care about other people’s opinions. Obviously that’s changing in the episode with Eleven. She doesn’t really care about what other people think. Even though I didn’t know what the end result of the character was going to be, and even though we still don’t, I felt like I had so many ideas to bring to the table and make it my own vision - to try to get away from clichés and come up with something that felt true and interesting to me. I traveled a lot straight out of high school and met a lot of different people all over the world. I feel like I’ve seen parts of her out in society when I’ve been traveling. What was your vision for Kali? Once you started digging into her, what was it about the core of Kali that resonated within you? Hopefully that’s what they really liked about it. I really loved this character, and I really connected with it, and I had a very strong vision for it. Sometimes when actors don’t get the part, it’s not always about an actor being a bad actor it’s about connecting to the material. Any part you audition for, you’re finding a person and an actor who can respond to the material and bring something different or extraordinary to the text. I just needed to realize this is what they wanted, and this was how it was going to be. I didn’t really pay much attention to it. When we started shooting, I felt I really needed to trust their decision. What do you think the Duffer Brothers saw in you that won you the role? Did you ever discuss it with them? I had to create the character based on this breakdown.Įarly on, this role was described in wide-open terms, that it could have been a man or a woman. It only had four lines about her: “She’s emotionally damaged, she has a hard time connecting with other people, she suffered a great loss as a child, and she’s been seeking revenge ever since.” That’s all I knew. It didn’t have any of the characters’ names on it. It was only a breakdown and three scenes. What did you know about Kali during the audition process? But I was searching for clues about my part. While I was trying to find out what I was going to be involved in, I was really just excited about the rest of the characters. They had nothing to do with the plot from season one. It was quite incredible! I got these scenes that were so different from the first season. How was that experience, bingeing Stranger Things while knowing you might have a role to play in this world? I got the audition, and then we ended up watching the whole season. I said to my boyfriend that I wanted to watch it when I came to meet him in San Francisco. I’m from Copenhagen in Denmark, and I didn’t watch the show right after it came out. It was still very new last year when I signed on to the project. What’s your Stranger Things origin story? Were you a fan before you auditioned?
