Will Chase Joins Stranger Things Season 2
Tony nominee Will Chase, who was recently seen swiveling his hips as Shakespeare in the Broadway musical comedy Something Rotten!, has landed a new small-screen gig. The veteran of Smash will join the cast of Stranger Things in its second season, according to TVLine. Chase is set to play Neil Mayfield, the dad of a new family in the town of Hawkins, Indiana, direct from California. TVLine speculates that Chase will be the father of the new kids in town played by Sadie Sink and Dacre Montgomery. That all sounds great, but we're just hoping the role allows him the chance to show off his kickin' tenor and suave dance moves.
