Stranger Things Season 3 introduces several characters played by new cast members. New faces include Jake Busey, who plays Hawkins Post reporter Bruce, Maya Thurman-Hawke as Robin, and Alex Utgoff as Russian scientist Dr. Alexei.
However, one new face in Stranger Things that caught the attention of fans is the actor who plays self-absorbed Mayor Larry Kline. Mayor Kline’s Starcourt Mall pet project sparks a protest by the residents of Hawkins, and we later learn he is cheating on his wife.
Netflix describes Kline as a “handsome, slick and sleazy” mayor who “is more concerned with his image than the people of the small town he governs.”
Some fans wanted to know more about the actor who plays Mayor Kline, while others thought he looked familiar and knew they saw him before in other movies.
If you’ve been wondering who Cary Elwes is or where you have seen him before, here is everything you need to know.
