Gaten Matarazzo seemingly came out of nowhere to wow Netflix subscribers as Dustin Henderson in Stranger Things. But there's more to Matarazzo than just D&D and Demogorgons. While Matarazzo is still quite young, there's plenty you may not know about the young, curly-headed celebrity.

Before was warming hearts as Dustin, Matarazzo was belting out ballads on Broadway. At the tender age of eight, he played Benji in the 2011 run of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, based on the 1994 film. From the glitz and glam of Priscilla, Matarazzo went on to the role of Gavroche in the 2014 run of Les Misérables.

Matarazzo is never far from his Broadway roots, continuing to sing on various television shows and regularly going to see stage performances. He's also set to play Jack in an upcoming Hollywood Bowl production of Into the Woods, Stephen Sondheim's subversive take on classic fairy tales. Many actors who start out on stage end up leaving it behind for television and film, but it seems that Matarazzo is content to continue performing on stage and screen.
