00:00Why does Derek only have 20 minutes of screen time in Stranger Things, but need two stunt doubles?

00:04No one realizes his parents laid out three conditions for the show's crew.

00:08First, the crew had to use stunt doubles for all of Derek's physical scenes,

00:12even something as simple as running.

00:14Many people joked that anyone could play Derek with a rainbow sweater and 100,000 pounds,

00:18but this actually boils down to Derek's health.

00:21Derek's parents couldn't bear the thought of their child climbing up and down a ladder

00:25five or six times repeatedly, as it could lead to muscle strains.

00:29Second, before Stranger Things, Derek had only appeared in a furniture commercial.

00:34This was his first time acting.

00:36What's more, the filming conditions were harsh.

00:39The barn had far more dust than expected.

00:41These factors posed potential risks to Derek,

00:44so his parents insisted on ensuring a safe environment for him on set.
