Career Wolfhard got his first acting job from Craigslist. He made his television debut as Zoran in The 100, followed by a role as Jordie Pinsky in Supernatural. In 2016, Wolfhard came to worldwide prominence as Mike Wheeler in the hit Netflix series Stranger Things. He auditioned for the role via video, while sick in bed, after seeing an open casting call. The role earned him, along with the rest of the cast, a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. He played Richie Tozier in the film adaptation of Stephen King 's It, which was released on September 8, 2017. The casting of Wolfhard in both Stranger Things and It, two films set in the 80 's, had been a coincidence. According to Wolfhard, he had been initially cast as Richie when Cary Fukunaga was attached as director and co-writer, but when Fukunaga left the project over creative differences, the role fell through which allowed him to pursue Stranger Things. Once Andy Muschietti became attached to It, Wolfhard had to re-audition for the role of Richie and won the role again, becoming the only actor to have been cast in both Muschietti 's and Fukunaga 's version. In the Netflix animated series Carmen Sandiego, he will voice `` Player '', the titular character 's chief accomplice and friend. The series, consisting of twenty 22 - minute episodes, is due to premiere in 2019. On September 22, 2017, it was announced that Wolfhard had been cast as Tyler, an altruistic and thoughtful pizza delivery boy, in the Ken Marino directed film, Dog Days. In addition, Wolfhard was announced on December 13, 2017 to star opposite Mackenzie Davis in Amblin 's haunted house film The Turning, based off the adaptation of Henry James 's novella The Turn of the Screw. Wolfhard is also known for his appearances in multiple music videos, including Canadian punk rock band PUP 's `` Guilt Trip '' ( 2014 ) and `` Sleep in the Heat '' ( 2016 ). He also co-directed and appeared in Spendtime Palace 's music video `` Sonora '' in 2017. Music Aside from acting, Wolfhard is also a musician. He is the lead singer, guitarist for a Vancouver - based alternative band named Calpurnia. Calpurnia signed to Royal Mountain Records in November 2017. They are due to release an EP in early 2018.
