David Harbour: From Stranger Things Finale to New HBO Series DTF St. Louis

A New Role in the Suburbs

Actor David Harbour is currently starring in the HBO series DTF St. Louis, a show created by Steven Conrad. The series is described as a love triangle and murder mystery set in the American suburbs, exploring themes of longing and shame.

Harbour portrays Floyd Smernitch, an ASL interpreter, using a prosthetic belly and facial hair to embody the character. He has described the role as vulnerable and tender, and his performance has been submitted for Emmy consideration.

"This role required a level of emotional nakedness I haven't tapped into before. It's about human connection in a disconnected world."

'Stranger Things' Conclusion and Co-Star Reports

Regarding the upcoming conclusion of Stranger Things, Harbour stated that the story had reached its natural end. He described the series finale, noting that the character Eleven sacrifices herself, calling this narrative development necessary.

Harbour explicitly denied reports that a harassment claim had been filed against him by co-star Millie Bobby Brown. He characterized the reported incident as a normal, personal disagreement that was resolved privately.

Personal Life and Mental Health

Following his separation from singer Lily Allen, whose album West End Girl depicts their relationship, Harbour commented that artists have the right to use personal experiences in their work. He declined to rebut the album's claims, citing his value of privacy.

Harbour revealed that he experienced a mental health breakdown under significant stress, but stated he is now focused on his career.

"I value privacy above all else. Artists create from their truth—that's their right. My focus now is moving forward, professionally and personally."

Upcoming Projects

Harbour is set to appear in several upcoming films, including:

• Avengers: Doomsday
• Violent Night 2 (sequel to the 2022 holiday action film)
• Evil Genius (recently completed filming)

He advocates for privacy and authentic connection in his professional work.
