David Harbour, the man behind Hawkins’ grizzled sheriff Jim Hopper, has poured his heart out in a candid interview with The Hollywood Reporter. With the final season of Stranger Things looming, Harbour took the opportunity to express his deep affection for both the show and the character that has become a career highlight.
“I think that there’s a piece of me psychically that processes the world through my work, through acting,” Harbour confessed. “I love it so much and I haven’t been able to do it and it’s been driving me a little bit nuts.”

It’s clear that Harbour isn’t just playing a role – he’s living it. And that connection shines through when he talks about Hopper: “I just love that show and I love that character so much.”
But this isn’t just about personal satisfaction. Harbour understands the weight of Hopper’s legacy, especially with the final season approaching. “It’s the last season,” he says, “so I’m looking forward to just diving in with my whole heart into this guy that, certainly career-wise, has made a huge difference in my life but personally, has been the character in film and TV who I’ve loved the most, that I’ve fallen in love with.”
He’s not just saying that. The passion is palpable: “I’m excited to give him the finale that I’ve wanted for him since we started. I just love it so much, I can’t wait to pour my heart into it.”
