He provides examples of:
- Actor-Inspired Heroism: Billy Hargrove from Stranger Things was initially created to act as a replacement jerk for Steve, only much more violent and cruel. His role being the minor but more relatable human antagonist of the season. However, Dacre convinced the writers to explore what made Billy that way. This developed into giving Billy a horrifically abusive father and a tragic past of being taken away from his loving mother at a young age. Leading to Billy spending most of Season 3 as the victim of the Mind Flayer, gaining him some sympathy and even him getting a genuinely heroic death of holding the thing back from killing El.
- Significant Monogram: His podcast and book are both called DKMH, which are his initials.
