Nino Munoz for Variety Preparing to play a suburban schlub in HBO’s “DTF St. Louis,” David Harbour decided he needed to transform — slightly.
“I guess it’s just part of my process,” he recalls, “because when I looked at it, it wasn’t that much bigger than myself.” He’s referring to the prosthetic belly the production designed so that Harbour, as ASL interpreter Floyd Smernitch, could believably be Midwestern-dad pudgy. Harbour is hardly willowy — on “Stranger Things,” where he played heroic small-town police chief Jim Hopper for five seasons, his weight fluctuated, and sitting before me, he cuts an imposing figure. But Floyd carries himself with a certain dejection, and the belly helped.
