He is the older brother to actor / musician and singer - songwriter Alex Wolff. His maternal grandfather is venture capitalist and civic leader William Henry Draper III, and he is also a nephew of venture capitalist Timothy C. Draper, cousin to actress Jesse Draper, and a great - grandson of banker and diplomat William Henry Draper, Jr. His father is Jewish, while his mother is from a Christian background ; Wolff was brought up `` culturally Jewish. '' Career When Nat and his younger brother Alex were toddlers, they arose from the bathtub shouting : `` We 're the naked brothers band ! '' Their father tells of Nat teaching himself to play major and minor chords on the piano when he was four years old. As his father recalls : `` I asked him, ' How did you learn them ? ' He said, ' Dad, they 're right here. ' I said, ' What are those chords ? ' He said, ' These are my proud chords. ' '' By age five, Wolff had started writing his own songs, and by the time he was in preschool, he constructed a band called The Silver Boulders with his best friends. Nat first gained notice in the wake of the September 11 attacks when he held his birthday party outside his apartment, which is where he performed his composition titled `` Firefighters ''. The benefit concert was a success ; it raised over $46,000 and was donated to the children of New York City Fire Department 's Squad 18. Alex eventually joined the band as the drummer ; both boys were emboldened by The Beatles. When Wolff was young, he put signs on his bedroom door stating : `` I want to be a child actor ! '' At first, his mother refused because she did not want her children exposed to stardom when they were young. As a result, Draper decided to appease Nat by letting him film his own sitcom called Do n't Eat Off My Plate. `` Having our life turned into a mockumentary was n't as big a deal as some would think. We took all the friendships, Alex 's one liners, and my music and put it into a storyline ; it was a heightened reality... The show created a great audience for us... '' Wolff at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival He began his acting career Off - Broadway with a minor role in his mother 's play Getting Into Heaven ( 2003 ) and in the Off - Broadway production of Heartbeat to Baghdad ( 2004 ), both at The Flea Theater. He later gained recognition, at the age of nine, for starring in, contributing lead vocals, instrumentation, and lyrics for the 2005 musical comedy film The Naked Brothers Band : The Movie, which was written and directed by his mother, and obtained the Audience Award for a Family Feature Film at the Hamptons International Film Festival. The film was bought by Nickelodeon as the pilot to the television series of the same name ( 2007 -- 09 ) which was created, written, produced and directed by his mother, while his father co-starred and produced and supervised the music. Moreover, Nat 's younger brother was featured in the ensemble cast and also wrote and performed the music. The series earned him one BMI Cable Award for composing the series ' music, as well as two Young Artist Award nominations and one KCA nomination for Best TV Actor. The show produced two soundtrack albums and the single `` Crazy Car '' reached # 23 on the Billboard 200. Wolff, who was six when he wrote the song, is believed to be the youngest person ever to compose a charting song on the Billboard charts. His unreleased song `` Yes We Can '', in honor of President Barack Obama, was heard by the President and his two daughters who enjoyed it and called him. Prior to the encounter, Nat had the occasion of meeting Obama, who emboldened him to write the composition. Wolff 's other film credits include appearing in the Nickelodeon television film special Mr. Troop Mom ( 2009 ), the romantic comedy New Year 's Eve ( 2011 ), and the independent comedic drama Peace, Love & Misunderstanding ( 2011 ).

He played the lead role, Quentin `` Q '' Jacobsen, a teenage boy in love with his neighbor ( played Cara Delevingne ). Writing for Variety, critic Justin Chang stated : `` Wolff, who 's present in just about every scene, manages to hold the center as a young man who is n't overly concerned about either standing out or fitting in, and whose behavior can often be as hesitant as it is impulsive. '' He will star in the off - Broadway revival of Sam Shepard 's play Buried Child with Ed Harris and Taissa Farmiga. The production is scheduled to run from February 2 through March 13, 2016.
