In this warm, witty Trailer Talk & Tea sit-down, Tom Wlaschiha (Dmitri/“Enzo”) opens up about joining Stranger Things as a lifelong fan, expecting to be eaten by a Demogorgon… and then discovering on set that he might actually live longer. We revisit that first meeting in a tiny hair-and-makeup truck in Lithuania (yes, the “old ambulance”), the hat tests, the battle to make his naturally neat hair look prison-messy, and how wardrobe, hair, and makeup quietly shape performance.
Tom shares the nerves of acting opposite David Harbour in Russian, the magic of filming in a real Vilnius prison and on Atlanta’s sets, and the COVID-era production—complete with mask marshals and a city-wide bicycle shortage. He also talks Berlin life, moving after 25 years, and why exploring new places is his favorite perk of the job. And that helicopter ending? Let’s just say the mystery lives on…
