You might not recognize Aaron Muñoz right away, but after a little digging, you’ll realize that the actor portrays Barb’s dad, Mr. Holland, in Stranger Things. Muñoz has also been featured in The Walking Dead, and as the Daily Illini points out — he’s now a faculty member at the U of I, an assistant professor in the theater department.
Read the whole feature for the full run down of Muñoz’s role and comments on it, but that is pretty cool that he’s in our community now as a faculty member. Seeing as how he went to school at Columbia in Chicago, this isn’t too hard to believe overall.
