Which character is played by Noah Schnapp in "Stranger Things"?

Noah Schnapp plays Will Byers in Stranger Things. Will is the sensitive young artist whose disappearance drives the opening mystery of the Netflix series, pulling his friends and family into the supernatural world of the Upside Down.

Will is the younger son of Joyce Byers and the younger brother of Jonathan. After vanishing near Hawkins, Indiana, he becomes trapped in the Upside Down, an alternate dimension filled with dangerous creatures. His rescue does not end his connection to that realm; later seasons show lasting physical and emotional effects from his experiences.

Schnapp joined the series as one of its original young cast members and became especially known for the demanding possession storyline in season 2. Viewers sometimes confuse Will with Mike Wheeler, Dustin Henderson, or Lucas Sinclair, but Will is the character whose disappearance launches the main plot. The role also grows into one of the show’s most important links to its supernatural mythology.
