Finn Wolfhard's Biography

Finn Wolfhard is a Canadian actor and musician who launched his career as a teen. He played Richie Tozier in the latest adaptation of Stephen King's «It». But he first gained fame for his role as Mike Wheeler in the hit thriller series «Stranger Things», playing the friend of a mysteriously missing boy. Net worth: $4 million.

Early Life

Finn Wolfhard was born on December 23, 2002, to a Canadian screenwriter. Finn is the second child (he has an older brother named Nick), and his arrival didn't change his dad's career path. This meant Finn was exposed to the film world from an early age.

Finn spent his entire childhood in Vancouver, Canada. Despite the German and French roots, the family has almost never left the country. The local kid got his first taste of public life at a Catholic school, where he kept studying even after gaining fame. Finn did well in school despite filming schedules and his music passion taking up so much time. When he finished eighth grade, Finn talked about himself without any pretension.

Career

This incredible generation of 2000s kids doesn't wait for help from the world – they take action themselves. Thanks to his father, Finn was always fascinated by everything 80s-related, so his musical tastes run much "older" than his film interests. "I don't just love retro music – I can really get into it," says Wolfhard. He plays Fender guitar, sings well, and even starred in two music videos by indie-punk-rock band PUP.

But over time, his passion for cinema grew stronger. Like many young people who dream of the big screen, Finn sent countless applications to audition for various films. In 2012, he appeared in the video of the local band Facts.

According to Zoomboola.com, 2013 was a turning point for Finn – he was first invited to play a role. Though it was small and in a short film, it was still a real job. Oddly enough, he found the casting call on Craigslist.

A year later, Finn played Zoran in the series "The 100" and then appeared in the supernatural drama "Supernatural." Sure, these were small parts, but the young actor was hooked by the magic of filmmaking. His next project would be much bigger. He landed a major role in the Duffer Brothers' series "Stranger Things."

This new Netflix project became a hugely successful blend of mystery, sci-fi, and 80s nostalgia. Most TV shows take their time building audience engagement and developing the plot, but here the writers hooked viewers immediately. When Will disappears, his friends – including Finn's character – launch their own investigation. They gradually discover their friend's disappearance has supernatural causes. They also meet a mysterious girl Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown). Will's mother (Winona Ryder) launches her own investigation while teetering on the edge of madness.

The young actor's performance in the series caught the attention of director Andy Muschietti, who was remaking the classic horror film "It." Finn played the wise-cracking jokester Richie Tozier in the film, which was released in September 2017.

Audiences flocked to the horror hit «It» starring Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise that fall, while the second season of «Stranger Things» dropped on Halloween. The young actor was clearly anxious about all the attention, and his Instagram posts gave away his nerves.

Beyond filming, Finn's involved in fashion shoots for major magazines, frequently gracing the covers of i-D and Status. His sharp sense of style helps him stand out among his peers. He's also into sports. Plus, Finn keeps playing guitar – it's his constant «life companion».

In a Washington Post interview, the actor revealed he hadn't planned to publicize his relationship with Elsie, but obsessive fans who discovered his girlfriend's identity threatened to leak her address online unless he went public with their romance.
