Wyatt Oleff's biography

The future Hollywood star was only five years old when he started talking to his parents about his dream of becoming an actor. According to him, he no longer remembers what exactly inspired him, but, even as a toddler, he enthusiastically told a variety of stories and performed improvised roles. After his family decided to move to Los Angeles when he was seven years old, he had many more opportunities to pursue acting.

Shortly afterThis gave him his first opportunity to try his hand at filming a commercial for Coldwell Banker (a real estate agency). The new look at the filming process and the procedure for selecting actors for roles, received at that time, still helps him in auditions. Subsequently, he began appearing on television in small roles, and in 2013, at the age of ten, landed a guest starring role as a young Rumpelstiltsken on ABC's Once Upon a Time. His character had to speak with a Scottish accent. At that time, both he and his mother tried not to miss such a tempting opportunity. Oleff felt insecure in the role, but eventually acquired the necessary accent after spending a week with a dialect coach.
