‘Stranger Things’ Sweetheart Gaten Matarazzo Finds His Dream Roles Far Away From the Digital Screens, and It Has a Connection to &#8216;The Office&#8217;

Gaten Matarazzo is one of the wilding popular faces of Stranger Things. His
character Dustin Henderson has been one of the most beloved characters right
from the start. Throughout this journey, this young boy has treated fans with
some of the most incredibly humorous moments. Thanks to the American actor who
embodied the character so nicely that today viewers cannot imagine Dustin
without him. But viewers might be shocked to know that this character is not his
first love, and it is clearly far away from the silver screen.

The breakout star of the massively followed Netflix show recently sat down with
USA Today to talk about his Broadway role. Gaten Matarazzo landed his dream role
in a new remake of Stephen Sondheim’s 1979 slasher musical. The 20-year-old will
be playing the role of an exploited orphan living in 19th-century London.

During the conversation, he revealed that the character of Tobias has always
been on his bucket list. He said that this character is so dynamic that actors
of any age can embody it. “There’s so many interesting ways to approach it
depending on your age, and that’s what’s so wonderful about it,” he told USA
Today

So if he gets the chance to play again, he would do it without a question over
and over again. Most of the fans who have watched the wildly famous sitcom The
Office might agree with his statement. The episode, Andy’s Play from season 7
depicts the same scene where Andy (Ed Helms) invites his colleagues to watch the
theater act of Sweeney Todd.


STRANGER THINGS STAR GATEN MATARAZZO IS A LIFELONG THEATER KID

Before garnering fame with his fan-favorite role in Stranger Things, Matarazzo
was just a Broadway kid. Only at the age of 8, he fell in love with the theatre
starring in 2011’s Priscilla Queen of the Desert. And many fans might not know
that has liked being a part of theatres even more than television.

He developed a liking for the character Tobias when he watched Johnny Depp in
the film Sweeney, and many other similar movies. Meanwhile, fans should brace
themselves to solve more mysteries from the creative team
