“The thing is, the last few projects I’ve worked on haven’t been the most enjoyable, not least because of the people I’ve had to work for.“, says the actress. “With streaming, I can choose who I hang out with, who I talk to, etc.“
She adds : “In one of the last movies I did, one of the producers asked me to… He hired a girl he was sleeping with, and he asked her to ask me to have a threesome with them . He is my boss. And so I didn’t, I cried. I was so upset“.
In addition to the role of Chrissy in season 4 of Stranger Things, Grave Van Dien has also appeared in series such as White Famous, The Village and The Rookie. She is the daughter of actor Casper Van Dien (Starship Troopers) and the great-granddaughter of legend Robert Mitchum.
