‘Stranger Things‘ Season 3 has added a couple of new faces to its cast when it returns for Season 3 Netflix has announced.
Cary Elwes will play Mayor Kline, described as “your classic 80s politician… Handsome, slick, sleazy, and more concerned with his own image than with the people of the small town he governs.”
Elwes is currently starring in the tv show ‘The Art of More’ for US channel Crackle, and played the guest role of Professor Sinclair Wilde in ‘Life in Pieces’. He has appeared in Academy Award-winning films such as ‘Glory’, ‘Days of Thunder’, and ‘Bram Stoker’s Dracula’, plus box office hits such as ‘Saw’, ‘Twister’ and ‘Liar Liar’. However, to many people, he will always be remembered for his role as Westley in the all-time classic movie, ‘The Princess Bride’.
Jake Busey will take on the role of Bruce, a journalist for The Hawkins Post with questionable morals and a sick sense of humour.
Busey has starred in with Jodi Foster in ‘Contact’, Will Smith in ‘Enemy Of The State’, and Michael J Fox in Peter Jackson’s ‘The Frighteners’. I suspect he’s best known to our audience though as the smart-mouthed Private Ace Levy in sci-fi cult classic ‘Starship Troopers’. He’s currently starring in History Channel’s 8-hour epic mini-series ‘Texas Rising’ alongside Thomas Jane, Bill Paxton, Ray Liotta and Jeremy Davies. In case you were wondering, yes, he is the son of actor Gary Busey and photographer Judy Lynn Helkenberg.
We don’t know yet when ‘Stranger Things‘ Season 3 is likely to land on Netflix, but the show is expected to return either late 2018 or early 2019. We’ll keep you posted when we hear more.
