He is also known for his work in the theatre, appearing in Deathwatch (2016), Wish List (2017), and Mosquitoes (2017).

In 2022, Joseph gained eminence through his role as Eddie in Stranger Things, and has since played starring roles in blockbuster films such as A Quiet Place: Day One (2024), Gladiator II (2024) as co-emperor Caracalla, and as Johnny Storm/Human Torch in The Fantastic Four (2025).

He plays the guitar, much like his character in Stranger Things. He also speaks Italian, and his secret skill is being a pretty decent chef. ~Mackenzie Heidrick
