Early life and education
Wyatt was raised in Chicago alongside his older brother Eli, by their father Doug, and their mother Jennifer, but nothing else is known about Wyatt’s family, as he respects their privacy.
He became interested in acting at a very early age, mostly because he watched TV with his parents nearly every night. Wyatt started appearing in school plays as soon as he enrolled at a local elementary school, and after his drama teacher and his parents noticed his talent, the Oleff family moved to Los Angeles, California so that he could pursue an acting career.
Wyatt continued his education in Los Angeles, and in 2012 (aged nine) launched his career with his portrayal of Young George, in the episode “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Coleman?” of the popular comedy series “Animal Practice”.
Created by Brian Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka, it starred Justin Kirk, JoAnna Garcia Swisher and Bobby Lee, and follows a veterinarian who loves animals, but hates their owners.
Wyatt then continued on acting throughout his entire education. He’s matriculated from a local high school just recently, in 2021, and it seems that he won’t be pursuing a college degree, because he wants to focus on acting.
