Mitch Neuhauser expressed his excitement about Quinn's rising star, stating, "With two major tentpoles on the horizon in 2024 alone, with 'A Quiet Place: Day One' and 'Gladiator 2,' Joseph Quinn's star is more on the rise than anyone could have anticipated." Neuhauser continued, "Certainly, receiving the 2024 Breakthrough Performer of the Year award from CinemaCon is a most timely and well-deserved accolade."
Joseph Quinn's impressive career includes standout roles in acclaimed productions such as "Stranger Things," where he captivated audiences as fan favorite Eddie Munson. Born and raised in London, Quinn's talent has graced both stage and screen, with notable performances in theater productions such as "Wish List" at the Royal Court Theatre and "Mosquitos" at the National Theatre alongside Olivia Colman and Olivia Williams.
