Alexander Draper Wolff, born on November 1, 1997, is an accomplished American actor, musician, and singer-songwriter, better known as Alex Wolff. He first captured the spotlight alongside his older brother, Nat, in the Nickelodeon musical comedy series, The Naked Brothers Band, which aired from 2007 to 2009 and was created by their mother, Polly Draper. Their father, Michael Wolff, played a significant role in the show’s success by co-producing its soundtrack albums, which included The Naked Brothers Band (2007) and I Don't Want to Go to School (2008), both of which charted on the Billboard 200.
Following the conclusion of the Nickelodeon series, Alex and Nat formed a musical duo, Nat & Alex Wolff, releasing several albums, including Black Sheep (2011), Public Places (2016), and Table for Two (2023).
