%0AJoseph Quinn began his professional acting career in the early 2010s, but it wasn’t until 2015 that he started to see the fruits of his labour, when he was cast as Arthur Havisham in the TV series Dickensian. This role opened the door to other opportunities, and Joseph quickly became a regular face on the small screen. He is perhaps best known for his roles as Prince Paul in Catherine the Great and Eddie Munson in Stranger Things. Despite having fewer than two dozen on-screen credits, Joseph has earned the admiration of fans and colleagues alike. Read on to discover 10 things you didn’t know about Joseph Quinn.
1. He’s From England
Joseph has chosen to remain quite private throughout his career, so there are not many personal details available about him. Something we do know, however, is that he was born and raised in England and appears to still reside there with no plans to relocate.
2. He Fell in Love With Acting At a Young Age
Most people don’t have a clear understanding of what they’re passionate about when they’re kids, but Joseph Quinn is an exception. From a young age, he was captivated by acting and participated in multiple school plays. It didn’t take long for him to realize that this was the path he wanted to pursue.
3. He Was in An Episode of Game of Thrones
Joseph has been fortunate to work on some pretty impressive projects throughout his career. In 2017, he appeared in an episode of Game of Thrones as a character named Koner. Even though his role was brief, he can always say he was part of one of the most successful shows of the 2010s.
4. He Likes Fashion
The fashion and entertainment industries have always been closely intertwined, and it’s easy to understand why. Entertainers are often creative and expressive, and fashion is a popular way to express oneself. Moreover, those who have a career in the spotlight often strive to dress their best. Joseph, for example, enjoys expressing his personality through his clothing and is adept at putting together stylish outfits.
5. He Isn’t Into Social Media
There are likely many people who would like to follow Joseph on social media, but unfortunately, he doesn’t have any official profiles. During an interview with Nuit Magazine, Joseph said, “I don’t have Facebook, I used to but I just spent all my time looking at other people’s lives. I don’t have Instagram either; I find it an incredibly image-centric medium that devalues the use of words. I do have Twitter, but I wouldn’t say I use it in a professional capacity—selling myself online. It’s a useful tool for news and seeing what other people are up to. Some people even say funny stuff on it. It can be mentally beneficial, I’m sure. But I’m not on that train now. It’s also a helpful way for people to communicate, I guess.”
6. He Studied At LAMDA
Joseph’s undeniable acting skills are undeniable, but they are not the only thing that has contributed to his success. Joseph has put in a lot of hard work and dedication to hone his craft, studying acting at the renowned London Academy for Music and Dramatic Arts (LAMDA). The school has a long-standing reputation for producing world-class talent.
7. He Loves the Community Aspect of Being an Actor
If you were to ask 10 actors what they enjoy most about acting, you’d likely get 10 different answers. For Joseph, it’s the sense of community that means the most to him. He explained to Nuit Magazine, “You’re thrown together with people you’ve never met before. They’re gorgeous, interesting, companionable and accepting – who wouldn’t want to work with that?”
8. He’s A Fan of Kieran Culkin’s Work in Succession
Joseph may be an actor, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be an admirer of other actors’ work too. In a recent interview with The Rakish Gent, Joseph said, “Kieran Culkin’s character is a goldmine and he just nails every line. His sense of humour and lightness of touch with that character is really something. But I think these iconic roles are so clearly defined by the actors that play them, it’s hard to imagine anyone else in the role.”
9. Acting Has Allowed Him to See New Parts of the World
As far as we know, Joseph has resided in England for his entire life. However, that doesn’t mean that he hasn’t had the opportunity to explore other parts of the world. Thanks to his career as an actor, he has had the privilege of visiting some amazing places and he looks forward to experiencing even more in the future.
10. He Doesn’t Need Much Money To Be Happy
Being a professional actor can be a highly lucrative job, but Joseph isn’t in it for the money. In his interview with Nuit Magazine, he mentioned that had he not become an actor, he would be living on the beach, working a relaxed job, and getting by on very little money.
