16 Breakout TV Stars of 2022:Joseph Quinn in Stranger Things Season 4In his one season on the show, Eddie became a fan-favorite, to the point that many are hoping that his death is a fake-out. (I can’t blame anyone for that, though it is very unlikely.) And that’s due to Joseph Quinn’s performance, making Eddie a character you rooted for, rather than saw as competition for Steve (Joe Keery) for Dustin’s (Gaten Matarazzo) friendship. He was a joy to see onscreen, fitting in perfectly with the Hawkins gang. Oh, and that metal performance of Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” in the Upside Down? Quinn was a large part of why it was as enjoyable as it was.
Favorite Scene: As much as we love the rock performance, we have to call out Quinn’s work as Eddie sacrifices himself in the Upside Down. — Meredith Jacobs
