What is Quinn’s birthplace, zodiac sign and height?Quinn was born and raised in England. His birthday is May 15, making him a Taurus. He’s reportedly 5 feet 10 inches tall. What has he previously acted in?Though Quinn is best known for playing Eddie on Stranger Things, he does have previous acting experience, mostly on British TV. Some acting roles include Game of Thrones, Dickensian, Howards End, Catherine the Great, Les Misérables and Strike. Where did Quinn study acting?The actor attended London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, which he graduated from in 2015. How does he feel about his character Eddie on Stranger Things?Though Quinn hopes Eddie could somehow return in Season 5, he’s content with how his character was portrayed. “I think there’s a great beginning, there’s a great middle and a great end for the character,” Quinn told RadioTimes.com. He continued, “And as an actor you want characters with those kinds of arcs. So whilst it would have been great to come back for another season and get together with all those lovely people again, I think it was a brilliantly realized ending for a brilliantly written character.” Does Quinn really play the guitar?Yes, he does. In fact, he learned when he was young. “I was trying to be realistic with kind of what I could do,” Quinn told the outlet. “Like I’ve been playing [guitar] since I was a kid but I’m no virtuoso. So I had most of the song down, but for the solo, we had to fly someone, a black belt metal guitarist, in to help with that. The rest of it? I had a stab at it, yeah.” To catch more of Quinn as Eddie, watch Season 4 of Stranger Things, currently streaming on Netflix.
 While the fourth season of Stranger Things brought one of the biggest bads the kids have ever faced with Vecna, it also included the introduction of one of the most beloved characters on the series: Eddie Munson. Portrayed by British actor Joseph Quinn, Eddie took the kids under his wing at school and got involved in their Upside Down situation. Now Quinn is revealing why playing Eddie actually made him feel like a “sociopath” at times. While the actor is British, his character was American, so Quinn had to nail his American accent perfectly. While speaking on the podcast Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster, Quinn admitted that when he tried to perfect his accent, he went down the rabbit hole:
Luckily, Joseph Quinn was worrying for nothing, because Eddie Munson quickly became a fan-favorite, and nobody was complaining about his accent. Who could have even guessed that his portrayer came from across the pond instead of Indiana? Unfortunately, due to Eddie’s sacrifice in the Upside Down in the season finale, he was destined to not make it alive and well to the fifth and final season. Joseph Quinn won’t have to worry about perfecting an American accent again for the time being, which may be the only upside to his character's death. Earlier this month, following the finale, Quinn told CinemaBlend how proud he was to be part of Stranger Things and that he loved the dynamic on set. While Eddie may be dead, hopefully there is a chance for us to see him one last time before Stranger Things ends. But at least if he doesn’t come back, Eddie will forever live on not only in Stranger Things 4, but on TikTok. It’s something that the actor recently admitted is “surreal” to him. Meanwhile, Joseph Quinn is getting all the praise for his performance on Stranger Things, and Eddie wasn't just a hit with fans. After Eddie drew in a bunch of demo-bats with a rooftop solo performance of Metallica’s “Master of Puppets,” the Grammy-winning group responded by praising the series for having “such a pivotal scene built around it.” Even though Joseph Quinn will likely not be in Stranger Things 5, there are still numerous projects you can catch him in if you like the Stranger Things actor. And on top of that, as a standout character in Season 4, hopefully, Eddie’s death (which was "weird" for the actor film) will not be taken lightly in the fifth and final season. For now, you can experience Eddie's wild ride with Season 4 streaming on Netflix. Passionate writer. Obsessed with anything and everything entertainment, specifically movies and television. Can get easily attached to fictional characters. Who plays Eddie in Stranger Things Season 4?Actor Joseph Quinn knew he needed to nail an American accent to play the scene-stealing Eddie Munson in Stranger Things season four, but the process of perfecting it proved a bit more difficult than he originally thought — until co-star Joe Keery stepped in to help.
How Old Is Eddie stranger thing?As Eddie died in the Upside Down, he technically died in 1983 and not 1986, so his age on the poster fits as he would have been 17 years old in 1983 – however, that doesn't explain why the poster had what would technically be the correct age for him.
Who is Eddie Munson based on?Eddie is loosely modeled after author and artist Damien Echols, who was falsely pinned as the 'ringleader' of the West Memphis Three. Echols himself was targeted by residents of West Memphis essentially for having long hair, wearing Metallica shirts, smoking cigarettes, and keeping to himself.
Is Eddie Munson alive?The Party was then able to take on Vecna the One, the show's villain, and save themselves. Eddie's death made many viewers extremely sad, and many wondered aloud how he might return to the series.
