Career
Nat Wolff is the lead singer/songwriter and keyboardist, and his brother Alex is the drummer, co-founder of the Nickelodeon television series The Naked Brothers Band.
Nat stars in the Nickelodeon television series The Naked Brothers Band. Based on a comedic interpretation of the brothers' lives, the TV series began as The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie, an independent documentary/mockumentary film written, directed, created, and executive produced by Polly Draper.
Nat kept putting signs on his door: "I want to be a child actor!", but Draper refused to at first because she wanted her kids to have a normal life. So to please him, she let him film his own sitcom, called, Don't Eat Off My Plate. Then Draper changed her mind and let him become a child actor, and decided to make a movie about her kids' band, which they formed in pre-school with their best friends.[1]
He gained notice in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks when he held his birthday party at a fire station and performed a self-written song, "Firefighters" (later retitled, "Rosalina" for The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie).
Nat says:[2]
| “ | I always loved it. I love the Beatles. I know every Beatles song. I wanted to be like them. It's all based on reality. It's not like work. It's things we might say or do or want to say or do. I like the feeling of creating something that wasn't there. If we have another season, I'm totally getting ideas. | ” |
He has performed Off Broadway in Getting Into Heaven with Cooper Pillot, written by Draper. He also starred in The Heart of Baghdad.[2]
Nat is believed to be the youngest person to write a hit pop song, Crazy Car, composed when he was 6.
Personal life
He is the son of actress, screenwriter, producer, and director Polly Draper and jazz pianist-composer-bandleader Michael Wolff. His younger brother is actor/drummer Alex Wolff. His family is culturally Jewish. In his free time he likes to play basketball, write music and play with their family dog E.T.[3]
