Gaten Matarazzo shared his experience playing 2 different pivotal roles in his career, saying playing Michael in Honor Society was equally fun.

Gaten Matarazzo Draws Parallel Between His Stranger Things and Honor Society’s Characters, Says &#8220;It was fun&#8221;

Stranger Things heads were rather delighted with Gaten Matarazzo AKA Dustin
Henderson’s role in Paramount Plus’ Honor Society. Borrowing characteristics
from Election blended with the sarcastic wit of Mean Girls, the film doesn’t
buck any trends around classic high school cinematic troupes. It delivers
surprisingly layered characters that one cannot help but root for. While the
movie finds its winning personality in Angourie Rice. Matarazzo along with
Christopher Mintz-Plasse steals the show.



Directed by Oran Zegman, the movie sees a smart girl, Honor, work to earn her
place in an ivy league school. But she has a big threat to surpass. A boy, as
intelligent as her, who could rob her of the dream. Surprisingly, our Dusty bun
turns out to be that boy. Honor’s mission to eliminate the competition
eventually finds her falling for Michael Dipnicky (Matarazzo). Fans of Stranger
Things [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/] will enjoy watching
Matarazzo transform Dustin Henderson’s sweetness into a new, edgy form. And did
you know it was an enriching experience for the actor himself?

In a recent interview with Screen Rant, the actor discussed the difficulties he
faced and how he coped with them while playing Michael in the film. 


GATEN MATARAZZO COMPARES HIS CHARACTER IN STRANGER THINGS WITH THAT IN THE HONOR
SOCIETY

Unlike Stranger Things
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-neither-joyce-and-hopper-nor-mileven-but-this-couple-was-the-real-love-story-of-stranger-things-4/],
where he could use his comedic skills for a show that is usually dark and
serious
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-stranger-things-addressed-trauma-beautifully-this-season-but-was-it-too-little-too-late-for-some-characters/]. Honor
Society was quite the opposite. “What’s interesting is that Dustin is a much
more comedically driven character in a project that’s not really driven by its
comedy. And I think Michael [in Honor Society] is a character that’s not
necessarily driven so much by his knack for comedic timing in a movie that is
driven through comedy,” he said
[https://screenrant.com/stranger-things-dustin-honor-society-gaten-matarazzo-comparison/].

“That was a really different vibe, trying to match those tones up. Because
you’re trying to dial something back when the surrounding people around you are
bringing the comedy forward. I’m used to doing [the opposite] on Stranger
Things, so that was really interesting. But it was a lot of fun.”



Honor Society has compelled Matarazzo to adopt a new style of comic delivery.
According to the actor’s

remarks, his positive experience with the movie might inspire him to embark on
more diverse projects and push his talent in fresh, intriguing directions.
