Joe Keery

What impresses me about Joe Keery is the rare double career he has built without letting either half feel like a hobby. As Steve Harrington in Stranger Things he pulled off one of television's great character rehabilitations, turning a disposable jock into the show's beating heart. Then, as Djo, he quietly made music good enough that many listeners had no idea the artist was that guy from Netflix. The DePaul theater training shows in his comic timing, and a certain Massachusetts modesty shows in how little he hypes himself. He strikes me as a craftsman who follows curiosity rather than fame, and that usually predicts a long career.
