“Putting Noah Schnapp on the same list as all of these beloved and extremely talented actors is laughable,” one tweetreadin response to the news.

Due to Schnapp’s lack of acting roles outside of his breakout turn inNetflixhit Stranger Things, some users believe he isn’t the best fit to be sat alongside other actors who have been included, such as Jenna Ortega and Rachel Sennott.

“Melissa Barrera was sacked from Scream and Susan Sarandon dropped by her agency, just for supporting Palestine and speaking up against genocide. Noah Schnapp can go around supporting genocide with stickers saying ‘Zionism is sexy’ and he gets included in the Forbes 30 under 30,” one usercommented.

“No way he should have been there with little to nothing other than Stranger Things Season 5 lined up,” anotheradded. “He hasn’t done anything besides Stranger Things like how embarrassing every other cast member is busy,” a thirdweighed in.
