I’m glad to see him here. Didn’t know he was in there. He has this blond look where they tried to make him teen heartthrob kind of thing but he isnt traditionally handsome enough. Thats why fans rejected him in The Mortal Instruments literally saying he is not pretty and hot enough to be Jace.

Then he was briefly as young Greendewald in Harry Potter universe.

But finally he was at his place in Stranger things. As creepy guard. And he was actually cute and hot when meeting young Eleven. Creepenly hot I would say.

He would have been great a few years ago maybe as Spike for a Buffy reboot.

We also rejected him in Camelot, where Eva Green could clearly have snapped his “King Arthur” like the human twig that he is. He’s a lightweight.

I thought he was well cast as Arthur in Camelot. He was supposed to be a boy learning his way, with political advice from Merlin and protected by his knights who were all superior fighters at the beginning. His only outstanding qualities initially were his sense of justice and fairness in rule.

Very good points, but the actor lacked the personal gravitas to make his growth as a man, king and warrior believable. I liked the show. It wanted a more manly protagonist. Look, the guy weighs like a buck-40, soaking wet. So did Bruce Lee, but Bruce Lee, who designed his own workout equipment, was as fit a human as ever lived. Lee could take a 70-pound barbell and hold it straight out in front of him arms-length for a full 30 seconds. That’s tantamount to surperhuman.

I’m sorry Camelot did not get a second season, nonetheless, for I liked much about it. I am a sucker for sword, sorcery and Eva Green.

Imagine him as DC Comic's Lucifer Morningstar in a John Constantine or Sandman streaming show / movie...
