Priah Ferguson: Stranger Things, Playing Erica Sinclair & Child Acting

This week, Tommy is joined by actress Priah Ferguson, best known for her breakout role as Erica Sinclair on Netflix’s global phenomenon Stranger Things. Since stealing scenes with her sharp wit and fearless confidence, Priah has grown from fan-favorite newcomer to a key part of the show’s core cast as it heads into its final season.
She opens up about growing up on one of the biggest shows in the world, how Erica evolved from comic relief into a fully realized hero, and what it’s been like stepping into a larger role as the stakes in Hawkins rise. Priah also reflects on balancing fame at a young age, finding her voice on and off screen, and what the Stranger Things journey has meant to her personally. Plus, she teases what fans can expect from Erica in the final chapter and why saying goodbye to the series is both emotional and empowering.
