Actor

It's my given, full name. Finn's not short for anything; it's just Finn Wolfhard. And then Wolfhard means, I think, heart of the wolf in German.

I guess with a Netflix show, if you're a kid, it's all dependent on how you're raised and if you have access to it.

I'm definitely not eager to grow up, but I do like some adult stuff.

For me, I need to listen to music in the morning, and after, it's kind of like a shower, you know what I mean? It's kind of getting rid of everything. I always play music after I act. It's not a conscious thing, like, 'Oh finally, I need to do this,' it's kind of a constant need.

I have lots of friends who are musicians and it is such a huge victory to survive in music, period - but if you get sick or injured and don't have the kind of coverage we get in Canada, you are doomed.

It's really cool when the thing you are working on as a small team gets embraced by millions, but in the end, it's about your character and the script and your director and the rest of the cast and crew.

I mainly use Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat. Those are my three.

I don't want to get typecast and I've been doing a lot of stuff to make that happen and not be the case.

I'd recommend anyone watch 'Harold and Maude,' 'cause it helps a lot with fear of death.

PUP introduced me to so much more amazing music. They really shaped my sound.

I wanted to do something in film. I wanted to make my own movies. Something clicked in my brain, like, 'Oh, I can physically act! I can go on open casting calls and audition for something.'

Obviously 'Stranger Things' has given me the launching pad to have creative license for whatever I want, and I love doing the show, but when it comes to music, I want to distance myself as much as possible.

Doing a scene by yourself is scarier - you know you don't have other people to fall back on.

I wanted to be a director and comedian and my plan was to go to NYU. I wanted to be in UCB.

Scary movies, for me, I used to be insanely scared of.

The things I want to focus on are music, writing, directing, and developing stuff.

I think growing up in Vancouver is a different lifestyle than growing up in most other places.

I'm always interested in horror and the supernatural.

I love being Canadian.

I mean if anyone's comfortable being famous, they're a psychopath.
