Stranger Things 4 quickly made records and became the second most popular series to surpass one billion hours of streaming after it debuted on the OTT giant earlier this summer.

In its first four weeks of release, Stranger Things 4 held the record for being the most popular English-language series.

Joseph Quinn became well-known for playing Eddie Munson in the web series Stranger Things. Eddie's character is portrayed as the geeky, long-haired rock star who is the leader of Dungeons & Dragons.

He discovered that being famous has benefits earlier this week. During a Monday visit on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the British actor said, ¡°I very nearly didn¡¯t make it."

He further continued, ¡°I was taken into, I guess what you could call it more of a Dungeon. And I was asked to wait there for about 20 minutes and then I was summoned to this desk where someone asked me, ¡®What are you doing in the United States, sir?¡¯ I said actually here to meet Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show.¡¯ And he didn¡¯t believe me.¡±

Fortunately for Quinn, another officer did accept his story and said, "Leave Eddie Alone!".

Isn't it fascinating how we developed a connection with the show's characters to the point where we refer to them by their character names rather than by their real names? When you are acknowledged for your work, it seems like a major accomplishment.

Quinn replied, 'I don't know,'
