Overview
- Sink recalls arriving on the 2016 film Chuck without screen-acting training, not understanding basic on‑set terms like “rolling,” and pretending she knew the process.
- She says auditioning for Stranger Things felt instinctively right despite limited screen experience, and she later joined the series in season two as Max Mayfield.
- Max now feels “second nature,” with Sink noting the character remains a core part of her even as the show nears its end.
- She credits doing projects between Stranger Things seasons with expanding her skills and bringing more depth back to Max.
- Looking back at footage from her first day with the cast, she says early nerves about fitting in gave way to quick bonding that still makes her emotional.
