Stranger Things’ Joseph Quinn praises “extraordinary” Gaten Matarazzo
The actor is coming off a star-making turn in season 4 of the Netflix show. **WARNING: Contain a spoiler for Stranger Things season 4**
Stranger Things star Joseph Quinn has praised co-star Gaten Matarazzo as an "extraordinary" talent, following acclaim for their performances in the show's fourth season.
Matarazzo reprised his fan-favourite role of Dustin Henderson, while Quinn was a new addition in the latest episodes where he portrayed eccentric Dungeons & Dragons game master Eddie Munson.
The two characters developed a close bond over the course of the season, which saw Dustin and his pals frantically attempt to clear Eddie's name after he was accused of being responsible for Vecna's gruesome murders.
In an interview with RadioTimes.com, Quinn discussed his time working with Matarazzo and said he was "excited" to see what the 19-year-old actor goes on to do when Stranger Things wraps up.

“Well, I've waxed lyrically about that boy in various interviews and I never get bored of it really," began Quinn. "He is an extraordinarily talented young man. I think he has grown so much during the filming of all of these seasons, and especially this season.

"His playfulness, his timing… In this season, we get to see the depth of his humanity. He's just extraordinary. And being near that, especially in someone so young, is a really thrilling thing."
Quinn added: "I had so much fun getting into that stuff with him. I'm so excited to see what he's going to do with his career."
