The Stranger Things actor, Noah Schnapp, shared a heartwarming video of him and his family expressing their joy at his admittance to college. As Will Byers in the Netflix hit Stranger Things, Schnapp is a Canadian-American actor.
In addition to his role as Charlie Brown in The Peanuts Movie, Schnapp appeared in Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies. He made his Stranger Things debut as Byers in 2016 and has portrayed the character for the last three seasons. As of 2022, Stranger Things season 4 will be on the air, and he’ll be back as Byers.
Fans of Stranger Things were immediately drawn to Schnapp after seeing him as the kid from the show who went missing. As a result of Byers being taken over by the Mind Slayer in season two, Schnapp had a chance to flourish as the character.
While Byers’ struggle to reintegrate into the adolescent world continues in season three, Viewers have seen Schnapp mature in front of their eyes and heard about his escapades with Millie Bobby Brown behind the scenes. Watching a young actor mature may be challenging, but the joy that comes from seeing them succeed is priceless.
In response to Schnapp’s admittance to college, Schnapp and his family have created a TikTok video on the social media platform Ivy League institution University of Pennsylvania accepted Schnapp into college. University of Pennsylvania’s admittance rate is under 6%, making it one of the most competitive colleges in the nation. UPenn’s message to Schnapp and his family is shown in a heartfelt video. Schnapp and his family yell, leap, and embrace as soon as they learn he’s been accepted, despite their initial scepticism.
Six years after starting his acting career at the age of 11, the 17-year-old has developed a thriving acting profession, established his own brand (TBH), and been accepted into an Ivy League university. For Schnapp, like Byers in Stranger Things, the next chapter of his life is beginning in Hawkins.
