Joseph Quinn‘s meteoric rise to stardom shows no signs of slowing down as the Stranger Things season 4 star is one of the most in-demand actors right now. Eddie Munson might have been considered an outcast in Hawkins, Indiana, but the real world loves him and by extension, the brilliant actor who brought him to life.

According to a new article from Deadline, Quinn’s breakout role in the latest season of Stranger Things has him listed as one of the most sought-after rising UK talents up for grabs in the U.S. agency sphere. Right now, Quinn is being repped by Curtis Brown and has a British agent named Sam Turnbull. It is rumored that he has been meeting with a couple of different major U.S. agencies.

Since his debut on the Netflix series, Quinn has been on a whirlwind press tour spanning multiple countries and at least one memorable meeting with Metallica themselves, a band iconic to Quinn’s character Eddie, who rocked out to “Master of Puppets” in the Upside Down in the season finale. Fans just can’t get enough of the 29-year-old, who has proven himself to be just as charismatic off-screen as he is on.

While far from his first acting role, Stranger Things has undoubtedly helped Quinn break into the mainstream and pushed him into household name territory.

Before landing the role on the hit Netflix series, the actor starred in mostly British productions such as the BBC One series Dickensian, Howards EndLes MisérablesSmall Axe and Catherine the Great. He also starred in some independent films like Make Up.

It’s still up in the air as to whether or not Quinn will return for the fifth and final season of Stranger Things. The Duffer Brothers have been rather adamant that Eddie is dead, but we’ve seen similar situations of showrunners and actors lying to try and keep surprises for the audience.

But based on Quinn’s recent interviews, it truly does sound like he doesn’t know! Still, based on the actor and characters’ popularity, it’s hard to imagine a world where he doesn’t come back, at least as a ghost or hallucination of some kind.

For now, Deadline reports that Quinn appears to be looking at three significant U.S. agencies in the wake of UTA acquiring the London-based Curtis Brown Group where he is currently repped. The American agencies include “the newly bulked-up CAA (following the acquisition of ICM), WME and UTA – to discuss a potential signing. This is an indicator that, for now at least, it remains business as usual for Curtis Brown and UTA.”
