We could always be found in the back room streaming Broadway bootlegs on YouTube or watching Tony performances. But for some reason, Mitchell and I had this gravitation towards performing arts-musical theatre, specifically.
“We were born into a pretty sports-oriented family and none of us were exposed to the acting industry growing up. The two had become fascinated by the world of Broadway as young children, and eventually ventured into community theatre hand-in-hand. In another on-the-nose example of the discrepancies between Sink and her character, Billy and Max never see eye to eye, whereas Sink shares far more in common with her real-life older brother Mitchell-who is the reason she got into acting in the first place. She was starting to settle into Hawkins, but now, I feel like she’s just stopped trying,” says Sink. But the nuanced performances she delivers throughout the show are hard to miss, especially when she explores the complicated love-hate relationship she has with her brother, who dies in the season three finale. It’s one of many sequences that prove just how powerful an actor Sink is, a fact that at her age (she would have been just 13 at the time of filming that particular scene) might be easy to overlook. Though visibly shaken, Max holds her red-hot glower steady at Billy before he lets go and she melts into her seat, face pinched stubbornly to stop the tears that have welled up in her eyes from spilling over. In a tense scene from season two, Billy forcefully grabs Max’s wrist during a heated argument in the car. The siblings are seen butting heads from the moment they are introduced, and their relationship only devolves further due to Billy’s violent and emotionally abusive tendencies. In fact, a pivotal element in the spunky middle-schooler’s backstory is her fractured relationship with her stepbrother Billy Hargrove, played by Australian actor Dacre Montgomery. Nineteen-year-old Sink may be close with her family, but Max is decidedly not. “Max and I can be pretty closed off at times-maybe slightly emotionally unavailable” It’s nice to have a family home to come back to.” “Being an actress, I feel like I’m always travelling and jumping around from place to place. “I love it here,” she says sweetly, once I ask how she feels being at home with her family, especially after having lived alone and with roommates in the past.

It’s Max,” she grunts in her first appearance on Netflix’s sci-fi horror series Stranger Things-Sink is soft-spoken and considerate, dialling in early for our virtual conversation from her parents’ place in New Jersey. Where Maxine, the character Sink portrays, is defined by her tomboyish personality and gruff exterior-“Nobody calls me Maxine. Sadie Sink and Maxine Mayfield could not be more different.
