Biography of Wyatt Oleff
The future Hollywood star was only five years old when he began to tell his parents about his dream of becoming an actor. According to him, he no longer remembers what inspired, but even as a kid he enthusiastically told various stories and played impromptu roles. After his family decided to move to Los Angeles when he was seven years old, he had much more opportunities to engage in acting.
Soon after, he got his first opportunity to try his hand at having shot for a commercial for Coldwell Banker (real estate agency). A new look at the filming process and the selection of actors for roles, received at that time, still helps him in auditions. Subsequently, he began to appear on television in small roles, and in 2013, at the age of ten, he received the main role of the invited star young Rumpelshtiltsken in the ABC series Once Upon a Time.
