Joseph Quinn began his acting career in 2015, appearing in many British programmes including “Dickensian,” “Howards End,” and “Strike.” This year, he became famous for playing the endearing punk rocker Eddie Munson in Netflix’s most popular series. Quinn’s endearing charisma was eventually lost in these significant but little roles; instead, it was “Stranger Things” that gave Joseph the opportunity to truly stand out and display his acting prowess.
