Career Acting 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 began to play the role of Mike Wheeler in the Netflix series Stranger Things. He auditioned for the role via video after seeing an open casting call. The cast of the series won 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, set in the ' 80s, 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. In the Netflix animated series Carmen Sandiego, he will voice `` Player '', the titular character 's chief accomplice and friend. The series, consisting of twenty 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 also cast in Amblin 's haunted house film The Turning, based off the adaptation of Henry James 's novella The Turn of the Screw. In 2018, Wolfhard joined the cast of The Goldfinch, the John Crowley - directed adaptation of the Donna Tartt 's Pulitzer Prize - winning novel, playing Young Boris Pavlikovsky, a Ukrainian student and troublemaker. Music Aside from acting, Wolfhard is the lead vocalist and guitarist for a Vancouver - based alternative band named Calpurnia. Calpurnia signed to DIY / Independent record label, Royal Mountain Records in November 2017. They are due to release an EP in early 2018.
