Family background
Alex Wolff was born on November 1, 1997, in Manhattan, New York City.[9] He is the son of actress, writer, producer, and director Polly Draper, known for her role in the television series thirtysomething (1987–1991) and for creating The Naked Brothers Band, and jazz pianist and composer Michael Wolff, who served as bandleader for The Arsenio Hall Show (1989–1994).[9][10] The couple, married since 1992, fostered a creative environment that integrated their professional pursuits with family life.[9][11] Wolff has one sibling, an older brother named Nat Wolff, born on December 17, 1994, with whom he shares interests in music and acting; the brothers have frequently collaborated on projects throughout their careers.[9] Growing up in a Manhattan apartment, the Wolff children were immersed in an artistic household from an early age, with exposure to theater, music, and film shaped by their parents' involvement in entertainment and the family's collaborative endeavors, such as early home videos and musical performances.[10] This environment encouraged Nat to begin writing songs at age five and Alex to take up drumming in preschool, laying the foundation for their joint creative pursuits.[10]Childhood and entry into entertainment
Wolff grew up in New York City, immersed in an artistic environment shaped by his family's creative pursuits. From a young age, he developed strong interests in music and acting, often participating in family jam sessions where he competed musically with his older brother, Nat, fostering a collaborative yet challenging dynamic that honed their skills.[12] To balance his education with these creative endeavors, Wolff attended the Professional Children's School in Manhattan, a progressive institution designed for young performers and artists, offering flexible scheduling to accommodate rehearsals and filming.[13] This environment allowed him to maintain academic progress while pursuing his passions, starting around age 6 when production on The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie began during the summer to align with school commitments.[14] His first on-screen appearance came at age 6 in the 2005 mockumentary-style film The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie, written and directed by his mother, Polly Draper, marking his entry into the entertainment industry.[15] This project, filmed over the summer in New York, captured the essence of his pre-professional musical and acting explorations within the family setting.[16][14]Personal life
Health and advocacy
Alex Wolff was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome during his childhood, a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations known as tics, which he inherited from his father, jazz musician Michael Wolff.[17] Growing up, Wolff has described feeling "a little like too much" due to the condition, reflecting the challenges of navigating social perceptions from a young age.[18] He manages his symptoms by consciously "muting" or "softening" them in public settings to avoid discomforting others, a strategy he shares with his brother Nat, who has the same condition.[18] In recent years, Wolff has openly discussed his experiences with Tourette's in interviews, highlighting how it has fostered deep connections with others facing similar challenges. During a 2024 Variety interview, he revealed bonding with singer Billie Eilish and his brother Nat over their shared diagnosis, noting that their mutual understanding allows them to forgo suppressing tics around one another, creating a sense of belonging: "She's one of us."[18] This openness extends to his family's history, as he has referenced the inherited nature of the condition in conversations about personal resilience.[17] Wolff has actively supported the Tourette Association of America through participation in fundraising and awareness events. In 2012, he and Nat performed songs from their band at the association's Team Tourette Disney World Marathon Luncheon in Orlando, Florida, entertaining attendees and raising visibility for the cause.[19] Similarly, in 2014, the brothers took the stage at the inaugural Hollywood Heals: Spotlight on Tourette Syndrome event in Los Angeles, delivering live music to a star-studded crowd aimed at reducing stigma around the disorder.[20] These performances underscore Wolff's commitment to advocacy by leveraging his platform in entertainment. Through such public engagements and candid media appearances, Wolff contributes to destigmatizing Tourette's syndrome, emphasizing that individuals with the condition lead fulfilling lives while encouraging empathy and awareness.[18]Private interests and relationships
Wolff has consistently prioritized privacy in his personal life, particularly regarding romantic relationships, sharing minimal details publicly despite his prominence in entertainment. Since 2020, he has been in a long-term relationship with singer-songwriter Rozzi Crane, whom he occasionally features in subtle social media posts, such as a 2025 trip to Japan, while maintaining discretion about their day-to-day dynamic.[18][21][22] Among his close industry friendships, Wolff shares a particularly strong bond with Billie Eilish, forged through collaborative tours and mutual experiences with Tourette syndrome, which has deepened their connection over shared health challenges and family values. Eilish has affectionately called him her "twin," highlighting their aligned perspectives on creativity and personal growth during joint appearances and musical projects in 2024 and 2025.[17][23][24] Wolff's personal interests revolve around music production, a passion he pursues independently as a way to unwind and explore creativity beyond his professional roles. He favors low-key pursuits in New York City, embracing a grounded routine that contrasts his on-screen intensity. His sibling relationship with Nat remains a cornerstone of support, evident in joint public outings like attending the September 2025 premiere of Play Dirty, where Alex showed up to celebrate Nat's involvement.[12][25]Music career
The Naked Brothers Band era
The Naked Brothers Band was formed in 2004 by Alex Wolff's older brother Nat, then aged nine, along with Alex, aged six, and a group of their friends, drawing inspiration from the Wolff family's musical heritage, particularly their father Michael Wolff's career as a jazz pianist.[26] Initially, Nat led the group as a preschool project, but Alex, motivated by studying videos of Ringo Starr, self-taught drums and joined as the band's drummer, solidifying the sibling dynamic at the core of the ensemble.[27] The band's name originated from the brothers' playful childhood antics, where they would perform naked around their New York City apartment, mimicking their father's band.[27] This family-inspired project led to the creation of the mockumentary feature film The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie, released in 2005, which captured the band's early rehearsals and performances in a fictionalized narrative.[28] Written and directed by their mother, actress Polly Draper, the film marked her directorial debut and starred Nat and Alex as themselves alongside their real-life bandmates.[10] Filmed on a modest budget in the family's apartment and around New York City during the summer of 2004, it premiered at the Hamptons International Film Festival on October 23, 2005, where it won the Audience Award for Family Feature Film.[10] The film's success attracted Nickelodeon, which greenlit a television adaptation as a semi-scripted musical comedy series, The Naked Brothers Band, which aired from February 3, 2007, to June 13, 2009, spanning three seasons and 42 episodes.[28] In the series, Alex reprised his role as the band's drummer, contributing to original songs written primarily by Nat while also portraying a fictionalized version of himself navigating tween life, friendships, and fame.[29] The show blended concert footage, behind-the-scenes antics, and episodic storylines, emphasizing the band's real performances to appeal to young audiences. During the series' run, the band released two studio albums on Columbia Records/Nickelodeon: their self-titled debut The Naked Brothers Band on October 9, 2007, featuring tracks like "If That's Not Love" and "Taxi Cab" that debuted at number 23 on the Billboard 200; and I Don't Want to Go to School on April 15, 2008, including songs such as "Who Says" and "Lullaby (Goodnight, My Angel)."[30] These releases captured the band's pop-rock style, blending youthful energy with themes of school, crushes, and sibling bonds.Nat & Alex Wolff collaborations
Following the conclusion of The Naked Brothers Band in 2009, brothers Alex and Nat Wolff shifted to a duo format, marking their evolution into more mature pop-rock songwriting and performance. Their debut release as Nat & Alex Wolff came in 2011 with the full-length album Black Sheep, issued on SaddleUp Records, which featured introspective tracks like "18" and showcased their transition from child-oriented music to indie influences.[9][31] The duo continued sporadically over the years, releasing the EP Public Places in 2016 via the same label, an eight-track project emphasizing themes of transience and urban life with songs such as "Passing Through." In recent years, their output has accelerated, including the 2023 album Table For Two, but their partnership culminated in the announcement of a self-titled full-length album set for January 16, 2026, on Coup D'Etat Recordings and Broke Records. Leading up to this, they issued singles like "Empty House" on August 1, 2025, a reflective track about reluctance to grow up, and "Tough" on November 7, 2025, which highlights emotional resilience.[32][33][34][35] Live performances have sustained their duo dynamic, including opening slots on Billie Eilish's Hit Me Hard and Soft tour across North America in late 2024, where they delivered high-energy sets blending old and new material to enthusiastic crowds. They also appeared on Apple Music's The Zane Lowe Show in October 2025, performing their single "Jack" live, underscoring their growing presence in contemporary music circles. A headlining tour for 2026 has been announced to coincide with the new album, promising anthemic shows focused on their collaborative catalog.[36][37]Solo and recent projects
Wolff has engaged in independent musical contributions beyond his family collaborations, notably as a drummer for established artists. In 2024, he provided the drumming for Childish Gambino's music video for the single "Lithonia," the lead track from the album Bando Stone & the New World. Directed by Jack Begert, the video features a tense, post-apocalyptic rehearsal scene with Wolff backing Donald Glover (as Childish Gambino) on drums, alongside Ludwig Göransson on guitar and Suzanna Son observing, culminating in a surreal, horror-infused twist that highlights Wolff's rhythmic intensity.[38][39] In addition to performance work, Wolff has composed original scores for films, demonstrating his versatility in integrating music with storytelling. For his directorial debut, the 2019 coming-of-age drama The Cat and the Moon, which he also wrote and starred in, Wolff created the film's score, emphasizing intimate, acoustic elements to underscore themes of loss and self-discovery. This project marked an early foray into solo compositional efforts, though details on subsequent film scoring remain limited as of 2025.[40] As of November 2025, Wolff has not released a major solo album, instead channeling his musical energies into selective production and experimental pursuits. His work often explores indie and boundary-pushing sounds through drumming and scoring, as seen in the unconventional, genre-blending style of the "Lithonia" video collaboration. While live solo performances are scarce, Wolff's production roles continue to support his broader creative output in music and film.[41]Acting career
Early television roles
Wolff's breakthrough in television came through the Nickelodeon musical comedy series The Naked Brothers Band (2007–2009), where he portrayed a fictionalized version of himself as the band's drummer alongside his brother Nat.[42][43] The show, inspired by the real-life Wolff brothers' childhood band, blended mockumentary-style storytelling with original music performances, airing 42 episodes and establishing Wolff as a child performer at age 9.[42][44] Following the series' run, Wolff took on guest roles in family-oriented programming. In the Nickelodeon TV movie Mr. Troop Mom (2009), he appeared alongside George Lopez in a comedic tale of a father joining his daughter's Girl Scout troop, marking one of his early non-music acting credits.[16][42] He also guest-starred as Brian Willis, a troubled pre-teen camper, in the USA Network series Monk episode "Mr. Monk Goes Camping" (2009), contributing to the show's blend of mystery and humor.[42] These appearances, along with minor cameos in Nickelodeon specials like The Naked Brothers Band: Battle of the Bands (2008), highlighted his versatility in lighthearted, youth-targeted content up to 2010.[42] Wolff's first dramatic television role arrived in 2010 with HBO's In Treatment, where he played Max Weston, the youngest son of therapist Paul Weston (Gabriel Byrne), across seven episodes of season three.[45] In this recurring part, Max relocates from Baltimore to Brooklyn amid his parents' separation, portraying family tensions with emotional depth that contrasted his prior comedic work.[45] No significant voice work is noted in his early television output during this period.[42] Transitioning from child performer to more serious roles presented challenges for Wolff around ages 12 to 17, including a lull in opportunities, social isolation from early fame, and personal struggles like acne and building emotional barriers during puberty.[46] These experiences, stemming from the intensity of child stardom on The Naked Brothers Band, prompted a deliberate shift toward edgier, character-driven projects to shed his youthful image.[46]Transition to film and indie work
Following his early television work, including a notable role as Max Weston in the HBO series In Treatment, Wolff transitioned to feature films in the mid-2010s, seeking out character-driven indie projects that allowed him to explore more mature themes. His film debut came in 2015 with Coming Through the Rye, where he portrayed Jamie Schwartz, a sensitive prep school student in 1969 who embarks on a road trip to find reclusive author J.D. Salinger after adapting The Catcher in the Rye as a play.[47] The indie drama, directed by James Steven Sadwith, highlighted Wolff's ability to convey youthful vulnerability and determination, marking a pivotal shift from child-star roles to more introspective cinema.[48] Wolff continued building his film profile with a string of diverse 2010s roles that blended indie sensibilities with occasional mainstream exposure. In 2016, he played Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of the Boston Marathon bombers, in Peter Berg's biographical thriller Patriots Day, a performance that required him to navigate the character's cultural influences and internal conflicts, earning recognition for its nuanced intensity.[49] The following year brought indie standout The House of Tomorrow, in which he starred as Jared Whitcomb, a rebellious teen who forms a punk band with a sheltered friend raised in a geodesic dome inspired by architect Buckminster Fuller; the coming-of-age comedy-drama underscored Wolff's comedic timing alongside dramatic depth.[50] Also in 2017, he appeared as John "Derf" Backderf in My Friend Dahmer, depicting the graphic novelist's real-life high school friendship with a young Jeffrey Dahmer, contributing to the film's acclaim for its restrained exploration of adolescent alienation.[51] That same year, Wolff entered the blockbuster arena with the role of Spencer Gilpin in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, playing a high schooler trapped in a video game adventure. Wolff's dramatic range reached a breakthrough in 2018 with his portrayal of Peter Graham in Ari Aster's supernatural horror film Hereditary, where he embodied a grieving teenage son unraveling amid familial trauma and eerie forces. Critics lauded his raw emotional delivery, particularly in scenes of psychological distress and horror, as a showcase of his versatility in blending vulnerability with terror, solidifying his reputation in indie cinema.[52][53] This period established Wolff as a go-to actor for complex, character-focused narratives in the indie space, emphasizing his growth beyond television origins.Mainstream and recent successes
In the early 2020s, Alex Wolff began transitioning from his earlier indie horror work to more prominent roles in mainstream cinema, showcasing his range in high-profile productions. In 2021, he portrayed Amir, the ambitious young chef and protégé to Nicolas Cage's truffle hunter in Michael Sarnoski's drama Pig, a critically acclaimed film that highlighted Wolff's ability to convey quiet intensity and emotional depth in a supporting yet pivotal role. This performance marked a key step in his evolution toward versatile leading man status, blending vulnerability with subtle authority. Wolff's visibility expanded further with his role as Luis Alvarez, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist and key contributor to the Manhattan Project, in Christopher Nolan's 2023 biographical epic Oppenheimer. As the young experimental physicist who verifies nuclear fission through dramatic demonstrations, Wolff brought a sense of youthful curiosity and scientific fervor to the ensemble cast, contributing to the film's box office success and critical acclaim for its historical accuracy. Building on this momentum, he reunited with Sarnoski in 2024's A Quiet Place: Day One, playing Reuben, a hospice nurse and friend of Samira who becomes entangled in the initial alien invasion in New York City alongside Lupita Nyong'o's Samira, where his portrayal emphasized quick-thinking resourcefulness amid escalating tension.[54] Looking ahead, Wolff continues to secure diverse mainstream opportunities, including a lead role in Amalia Ulman's 2025 absurdist comedy Magic Farm, where he stars alongside Chloë Sevigny in a satirical tale of a media crew lost in rural Argentina, delivering physical comedy and emotional nuance in a shape-shifting narrative. On television, he made a memorable guest appearance as the unsettling businessman Simon in the 2025 episode "Frank Is in a Coma" of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's seventeenth season, injecting chaotic energy into the long-running comedy. Additionally, Wolff leads the 2024–2025 Norwegian-Canadian miniseries So Long, Marianne as the iconic singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, exploring the poet's transformative romance with muse Marianne Ihlen on the Greek island of Hydra, a role that draws on his musical background for an authentic portrayal of artistic vulnerability and passion. These projects underscore Wolff's growing reputation as a multifaceted performer capable of anchoring both blockbuster films and intimate character studies.Directing and screenwriting
Prior to his feature debut, Wolff directed the short film Boots (2015) and co-directed What Does Despondent Mean? (2015) with Rob Meyer.[55][56]Debut feature film
Alex Wolff made his feature-length directorial debut with The Cat and the Moon (2019), a coming-of-age drama that he co-wrote and starred in as the protagonist, Nick.[40] The film explores themes of grief, friendship, and self-discovery through the story of 17-year-old Nick, who relocates from Detroit to New York City to live with Cal (Mike Epps), a jazz musician and longtime friend of his late father, while his mother undergoes rehabilitation for addiction.[57] In the bustling urban environment, Nick navigates high school, forms bonds with stoner classmates Seamus (Skyler Gisondo) and Russell (Tommy Nelson), and develops a complicated romance with Seamus's girlfriend, Eliza (Stefania LaVie Owen), all while confronting suppressed emotions tied to his family's losses.[58] The project originated as a deeply personal, semi-autobiographical endeavor for Wolff, inspired by his own experiences with familial grief and the transformative role of jazz music in processing vulnerability.[57] He sought to capture the raw, unfiltered dynamics of teenage life, emphasizing emotional authenticity over polished narrative conventions, as evidenced by his directorial choices like handheld cinematography and improvised actor interactions to elicit genuine reactions.[59] Production was handled by Wolff alongside producers Ken H. Keller and Caron Rudner, with executive producers including Josh Boone and Peter Berg; filming occurred primarily in New York City to immerse the story in its vibrant, chaotic setting.[60] The film premiered at the San Antonio Film Festival in July 2019, marking Wolff's transition from actor to auteur.[61] Reception highlighted the film's sensitive depiction of adolescent pain and resilience, with critics commending Wolff's assured multi-hyphenate work for its psychological nuance and unpretentious modesty.[62] It earned a 78% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes from nine reviews, where Nick Allen of RogerEbert.com noted its "encouraging wavelength as a new director," praising the honest exploration of youth's romantic possibilities.[63] On Metacritic, it scored 63 out of 100 based on five critics, with praise for Wolff's technical skill in conveying buried vulnerabilities.[64] Wolff also composed the score with his father, Michael Wolff, integrating original jazz compositions that underscore the narrative's themes of healing through art.[60]Subsequent projects and influences
Following his directorial debut with The Cat and the Moon in 2019, Wolff expanded his filmmaking pursuits by developing If She Burns, a psychological thriller that he wrote, directed, starred in, and composed music for alongside Karl McComas-Reichl.[65][66] The project, announced in 2023, features a cast including Victoria Pedretti, Justice Smith, and Asa Butterfield, and centers on Kaia (Pedretti), who after a traumatic incident travels to Italy with her dysfunctional family to a luxurious villa, where she begins a passionate affair with her mysterious neighbor Alessandro (Wolff), amid family tensions and the threat of encroaching wildfires.[67][6] Filming began in summer 2025.[68] Wolff's approach to subsequent screenwriting has included contributions to unproduced scripts, drawing from personal experiences to explore themes of emotional turmoil and interpersonal dynamics, though specific details on these projects remain private as of November 2025.[13] No short films directed or written by Wolff have been publicly released since his debut feature, but his writing process emphasizes iterative drafts and improvisation to achieve authenticity.[46] His influences stem significantly from his family background in the arts; his mother, Polly Draper, a writer and director known for creating the Nickelodeon series The Naked Brothers Band, instilled an early appreciation for collaborative storytelling and multimedia production.[13] Additionally, indie filmmaker Ari Aster, who directed Wolff in Hereditary (2018), served as a key mentor, providing guidance on narrative structure and emotional depth during the preparation for The Cat and the Moon.[69] Wolff has cited these familial and professional ties as shaping his preference for intimate, character-driven projects over large-scale productions.[59] Looking ahead, Wolff has expressed interest in helming more genre-blending films that incorporate his musical talents, potentially including scripts for television pilots that blend dramatic and musical elements, though no such projects have been confirmed as of November 2025.[6]Awards and nominations
