It took people this long to start celebrating Sean Astin’s career? Being a child of the 1980s, I’ve been a fan of his since I was a little kid. Let’s run down the hits, shall we? The Goonies, White Water Summer, Toy Soldiers, Rudy, and the cinematic masterpiece known as Encino Man. All of those films were staples of my childhood.
But now a whole new generation of pop culture fans have discovered Sean Astin because of his role in the hit Netflix show Stranger Things.
A Twitter user from New Zealand shared a photo of Astin with an otter and then the floodgates opened.
