Playing Eddie Saved Stranger Things Star From Being Detained At Airport
Joseph Quinn details an encounter at a U.S. airport when being recognized as Eddie Munson on Stranger Things saved him from being detained. After a breakout first season in 2016, Stranger Things has become one of Netflix's most popular series. The Duffer Brothers' hit show pulls out all the stops for its recent supersized fourth season, introducing a new villain in the form of Jamie Campbell Bower's Vecna and a host of other new characters, setting up an epic confrontation in season 5.
Among the new characters introduced in the show's fourth season is Eddie, Hawkins High School's Dungeons & Dragons Hellfire Club leader. The character quickly became a fan favorite due to his eccentric and rebellious personality, but soon finds himself hunted by police and a vengeful fellow student after he becomes a prime suspect in Chrissy's (Grace Van Dien) murder. Although the ending to Stranger Things season 4 sees Eddie valiantly sacrifice his life during a mission to defeat Vecna, fans have continued to rally behind Quinn's character, hopeful for a return in season 5.
