Joe Keery, the god of nice hair and exemplary babysitting, skyrocketed to fame after his run at Netflix’s original series, Stranger Things, created by the Duffer Brothers. Appearing first in a stereotypical “high school bad boy” genre, he soon turned public perception to his side after standing up against bullies and arriving at the last minute to fight off a Demogorgon at the Byer’s house toward the end of Season 1.
For the rest of his term in the series, he has been paired mostly with the children, thus being dubbed “the babysitter” and his role as Steve Harrington has rallied unequivocal praise from the fandom in accordance with his charming characterization of the protective and self-sacrificial coming-of-age young adult.
