Alex Wolff

Alexander Draper Wolff, better known as Alex Wolff, born on November 1, 1997, is a talented American actor, musician, and filmmaker. He gained initial fame alongside his older brother Nat, on the Nickelodeon musical comedy series The Naked Brothers Band (2007–09), a brainchild of their mother, Polly Draper. The series recorded two successful soundtrack albums named The Naked Brothers Band and I Don't Want to Go to School, co-produced by their father, the famous Michael Wolff. Post-Nickelodeon, Alex and his brother formed the duo, Nat & Alex Wolff, and released surf-acing albums like Black Sheep (2011), Public Places (2016), Table for Two (2023). The duo reestablished their collaborative prowess, co-starring in their mother's comedy-drama film - Stella's Last Weekend (2018).

Wolff didn't confine his career to music, spreading his wings in various film roles. Distinguishing himself portraying ‘Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’ in Patriots Day (2016) and ‘John Derf Backderf’ in My Friend Dahmer (2017), Wolff has showcased his reputable acting skills. His acting prowess is reflected, appearing in My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (2016), Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017), and Hereditary (2018). Undoubtedly, Weinstein’s directorial debut was eagerly awaited and eventually well received with the drama film, The Cat and the Moon (2019). Born in Manhattan, New York City, Alex has a prolific lineage of actors, musicians, venture capitalists, and civic leaders. He also struggles with Tourette's syndrome, an inherited condition from his father.
