How Old Is Nick Wolfhard? Everything To Know About Finn Wolfhard’s Brother

Nick Wolfhard is now 26 years old and living his childhood dream of becoming a cartoon character, though not in the literal sense. As a young boy, Nick realized he wanted to be a cartoon character and though his parents saw no prospect in this dream at first, they helped him work on his voice which is the major tool needed to excel as a voice actor. While he is easily recognized as the older brother of Stranger Things actor Finn Wolfhard, Nick has carved his own niche as a voice actor.

Finn and Nick Wolfhard were born in Vancouver, Canada

Nick Wolfhard is four years older than Finn Wolfhard. Nick was born in Vancouver, Canada, on October 1, 1998, while his brother Finn was born on December 23, 2002, in the same city. Their parents – Eric Wolfhard and Mary Jolivet gave them a mixed-race ancestry comprising of German, French, and Jewish. Eric Wolfhard works as a researcher with a major focus on aboriginal claims but he is popular for his job as a screenwriter. Mary Jolivet, on the other hand, is mostly known as Finn Wolfhard’s mother with no information about her career path.

A self-proclaimed introvert, Nick Wolfard confessed to having had a lonely childhood because he preferred his own company. This was mainly in middle school and as an introvert, he barely had friends but all that changed before he graduated. He is now an adult and though he has worked on that awkward personality that deprived him of friends as a young boy, he has admitted that he is still an introvert, but not like before.

By the age of four, Nick Wolfhard already knew the career he wanted

At the age of four when his mates were just content with having enough candies to eat, Nick was already planning his future as a cartoon character. It seemed like a child’s dream at the time, at least it’s quite impossible to transition into a cartoon character, but young Nick resorted to building his voice to help him achieve that dream.

His first appearance on TV can be seen on Aftermath, a 2013 short movie where he portrayed Young James. The next year, in 2014, he was seen in Under Wraps as “Danny”. Subsequently, his career continued to grow until he landed his breakout role in 2019.

The Last Kids on Earth is his most famous work

He plays the lead role of Jack Sullivan in the Netflix animated TV series which premiered in 2019 worldwide. Still living his childhood dream of being a cartoon character, Nick is giving his voice to young Jack Sullivan as he fights off zombies with some suburban middle schoolers following a monster apocalypse. For his outstanding interpretation of the role, Nick earned a Leo Award nomination in the category of best voice performance animation program or series. Other actors who gave their voice to the characters include Keith David, Bruce Campbell, Mark Hamill, and Rosario Dawson, among others.

According to Wolfhard, one of the reasons he chose to play the role in The Last Kids on Earth is the character’s resemblance to his childhood personality as an introvert. He was a nerd in school and so is Jack Sullivan. Beyond breathing life into the animated character of Jack Sullivan in the TV series, Nick also composed the theme song. During the auditions for the TV series, Nick was selected for two roles – Jack and Dirk but he later settled for just Jack.

Nick Wolfhard has trained his voice over the years to fit into any kind of role, irrespective of how old or young the character is. To date, most of his works are animated projects, including the critically acclaimed Smiling Friends pilot in 2020. A year before that, he played a role on the NBC primetime drama The InBetween. Other projects he has worked on include My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Beyblade Burst, World Trigger, and the Kingdom of Madness. He voiced multiple characters in some of the projects and has always done a good job.

When Finn Wolfhard became a teen sensation on the set of the global hit series Stranger Things, many people didn’t know he has an older brother who is also in the industry. Nick Wolfhard is Finn’s older brother and they grew up in Canada with their parents. They seem to be the only children born to their parents as no other sibling has surfaced in the media space.

The Wolfhard brothers are yet to work on a significant project together and this may be a long shot since Nick is more into voice roles and his brother is not.
