Gaten Matarazzo Was The First Actor Cast Because The Duffers Knew He Was Irreplaceable! #st5

The Duffer Brothers revealed that Gaten Matarazzo was the very first person hired for the series. After reviewing nearly 1,000 audition tapes for the lead roles, Gaten’s performance stood out so much that they immediately stopped looking for a Dustin.

The creators were so captivated by his personality that they built the rest of the "Party" around his energy. They even wrote his real-life condition, cleidocranial dysplasia, into the script to keep his character authentic. This decision made Dustin one of the most beloved figures in TV history.

By the series finale, the Duffers credited Gaten with bringing a specific "heart" to the show that wasn't in the original pilot script. He wasn't just the first actor cast; he was the spark that helped the creators define the show's entire tone.
