6. Sheriff Hopper

Actor: David Harbour

Hopper is like Joyce, incredibly likeable in his motivation to do right by Hawkins and to protect those that he cares about most. Especially Eleven for whom he becomes a surrogate father to.

His determination to keep her safe and protect the boys is also one of the many reasons why we love grumpy, kindhearted sheriff throughout all seasons. For some, he’s the father they wished they had and for others, he’s become a heartthrob!
