* PromotedFanboy: He's a huge fan of Music/NinjaSexParty and the WebVideo/GameGrumps in general, and not only has he appeared on the the show three times (twice in ''Guest Grumps'' and once on ''Ten Minute Power Hour''), but he also got to play young!Danny in the music video for "Danny Don't You Know". Arin and Danny also happen to be fans of ''Series/StrangerThings'', so it's a win-win situation.

** A shockingly large number of his roles are strongly associated with TheEighties: ''Series/StrangerThings'' and the first ''Film/{{It|2017}}'' movie are both set entirely in TheEighties and ''Film/GhostbustersAfterlife'' is a sequel to a film released in 1984 and which made an indelible mark on '80s pop culture (as referenced in ''Series/StrangerThings''). He also appears as a young Rivers Cuomo in the music video for Music/{{Weezer}}'s cover of "Take on Me", set in 1985.

This apparently partly reflects personal preference, though--by his own account, he's a [[FanOfThePast big fan of '80s culture and fashion]], and so is completely at home taking '80s roles.
