The Stranger Things actor has one sibling, older brother Nick Wolfhard, who is also in the entertainment industry. The two brothers were born and raised in Canada by their parents, Eric Wolfhard and Mary Jolivet, but they always had a passion for entertainment.

Finn was just 12 years old when he started acting in the hit Netflix series, and Nick has been by his side throughout his career milestones. Finn has also supported Nick in his various voice acting ventures, which include the Netflix animated series The Last Kids on Earth.

“There was a period in time where my brother Finn was doing It and [the film], at the time, fell through,” Nick told Showbiz Cheat Sheet in 2019, referencing director Cary Fukunaga’s exit from It. “He was so bummed about it and he didn’t want to do acting again ... My dad [and I] were like, ‘No, you’ve got to keep going. Why don’t you just take a small break and then we’ll see what happens.’ ”

“I guess through my mighty words of wisdom, he got Stranger Things because he kept going and he eventually got It back,” he added.

Here's everything to know about Finn Wolfhard's brother, Nick Wolfhard.

They grew up in Canada

Finn and Nick grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. They were born to Eric Wolfhard and Mary Jolivet. Their father, Eric, was a lawyer and is now a researcher on Aboriginal land claims.

Finn attributes his success in the entertainment industry to the support and encouragement he received from his family from a young age.

“I have great parents, a great family, and people who support me, but who also keep me in line,” Finn said in an Interview magazine profile with Ryan Reynolds. “I have been weirdly disciplined since I was seven or eight years old.”

Unlike the Stranger Things star, Nick is known for his voice acting talents. He kicked off his career as a voice actor in Cartoon Network’s animated film Underwraps at the age of 16.

“I’ve always had a big fascination with animation in general — you can tell stories and do things that are impossible to convey in a live action project,” Nick once told PopHorror. “There is something about voice over that is just so fun to do, to watch all these things as a kid and then to star in them later on is a dream come true.”

By 2019, Nick landed the lead role of Jack Sullivan in Netflix’s adaptation of Max Braller’s series The Last Kids on Earth. Nick told Collider that the audition process was the “longest” in his career.

“The audition process was the longest I've ever had for a part,” he said. “I originally auditioned for Jack as well as Dirk. I believe I got two separate call backs for both characters. Then, I remember, in May, I was half asleep in my bed, and I got the email. I was like, ‘Yes!’ "

Though the process was long, it was incredibly rewarding for Nick. “I put my fist in the air out of sheer victory, because of how long the process was and how much effort I put into it,” he said. “I was so happy I got it.”

Nick has also had voice roles in Date Everything!, Fire Emblem: Engage, World Trigger, Be@rbrick, Back to 15 and A Star Brighter Than the Sun.

Nick starred in his first short film with Finn

Though Nick can primarily be found offering his voice to animated characters, his early beginnings in the industry started on-screen in Jorge Perez’s 2013 short Aftermath.

Nick and Finn joined the cast as younger versions of the short's main characters.

Finn and Nick played video games together growing up

As a PlayStation Playmaker, Finn is an admitted video game fanatic. Finn and Nick used to play video games together, he recalled to Collider in 2025.

“There's a few [video games] I remember me and my brother used to play, like the Jak and Daxter racing game [Jak X: Combat Racing] a lot together, just like really fun co-op stuff,” he said.

In March 2023, Finn and Nick shared the stage to present the best fantasy anime award at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards. The brothers joked about their shared love for anime before presenting Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba with the honor for the night.

“We have a saying in our family — brothers who watch anime together, talk about anime so much that it's genuinely concerning,” Finn said.

“Yeah I don’t think that’s a saying, but it’s definitely the truth,” Nick rebutted.

They are supportive of each other

While the Wolfhard brothers have similar yet varying tracks in the entertainment industry, Finn and Nick are always there for each other.

To celebrate the premiere of The Last Kids on Earth, Finn shared a graphic of the animated series congratulating his older brother. “So proud of you, Nick!!!” he captioned the Instagram post.

Nick also often takes to social media to express his admiration for his brother, including Finn’s role in the 2021 Ghostbusters sequel.

“I think theres this guy I know who’s in this movie,” Nick wrote in a post on X, accompanied by a photo of a Ghostbusters: Afterlife advertisement. “Alright real talk though, Finn I’m so proud of you dude, that ending was so surreal but so cool, proud of you man.”
