"You have to answer your email, Finn Wolfhard's father tells him. The young actor is home in Vancouver in 2017 for a break after filming IT and Stranger Things season 2 back-to-back. In another life, he'd be preparing to enter high school or searching for a summer job that would pay him enough cash to take his crush on a date to the mall. Instead, he's hearing it from his father for neglecting an email from his agent."
"During the most formative years of his life, Wolfhard filmed five seasons of one of the most popular television shows on the planet: Stranger Things. He played Mike Wheeler, the leader of a group of kids in a suburban sci-fi story and the one person who inspires everyone to work together to fight their greatest obstacles. During that time, Wolfhard also starred in two IT movies, two Ghostbusters sequels, and an indie Sundance flick directed by Jesse Eisenberg."
Finn Wolfhard rose to high-profile teenage stardom beginning with Stranger Things in 2016. He balanced intense filming schedules with a wish for ordinary teenage experiences and occasional resistance to professional obligations. His parents provided active support and negotiated boundaries, turning responsibilities and expectations into an unwritten family handbook for navigating fame. Between ages fourteen and his late teens, he filmed five seasons of Stranger Things, starred in two IT films, two Ghostbusters sequels, and an indie Sundance feature directed by Jesse Eisenberg. He also codirected a teen summer-camp slasher, Hell of a Summer, which premiered at TIFF in September 2023, and pursued music off-screen.
