Fun Facts:
1. Nick has become a big NBA fan over the past year.
"I'm still a bit of a newbie, though. The Raptors winning was a huge deal for Canada, and personally, I can't wait to see what the Nets, Lakers and Clippers have to offer next season. Also, I can't wait for Space Jam 2."

2. He says he couldn't live without Twitch on his phone.
"Any time I want to chill out and relax, I sit down and watch video game streams. Vinesauce is a favorite streamer for sure."

3. His hidden talent is his ability to do the Truffle Shuffle from The Goonies.
"I've been able to do the Truffle Shuffle pretty much my whole life, even before I even knew what The Goonies was!"

4. As a voice actor, most of his biggest inspirations are the incredible voice actors he grew up listening to.
"James Arnold Taylor, voice of Obi Wan Kenobi and Ratchet in the Ratchet and Clank games, has a great podcast. Recently I listened to him talk about how he dealt with his middle school years. I only wish I had that advice when I was in middle school! Other than that, I can always count on my close friends and family for advice— especially ones with similar life experiences to my own."

5. His little brother is Stranger Things actor Finn Wolfhard.
6. He firmly believes in the power of good luck charms.
"One of my best friends, Shannon, performs tarot card readings. She did one on me and pretty much everything came true. She also bought me a Kingdom Hearts necklace, but we always forget to remind each other to give it to me. I don't physically have it, but that's still technically a charm in some sense, right? Other than that, I have a lucky $2 bill, which I'll never give up. One time I was so thirsty that I tried using it on a vending machine but it refused to be taken. That's how I know its lucky. It's like it wants to stay with me."

7. He always orders pepperoni, mushrooms, jalapeño and pineapple on his pizza, fully knowing that the last item on the list is pretty controversial.
8. His go-to snack is Crunchy Cheddar Jalapeño Cheetos.
9. He's all about sci-fi movies because of the concepts explored, and how it can blend in different elements, even from other genres, to create great cinema.
10. His favorite piece of clothing is a The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask T-shirt he got from Hot Topic.
"Believe it or not, I've never gotten more compliments on any other piece of clothing than I have on this one. I mean, hey, it is a pretty dang good shirt!"
-Nick Wolfhard
11. Mosquitos are very attracted to Nick, but he's not the biggest fan of them in return.
"They love me for some reason—maybe it's my blood type. Vancouver has too many to count. I'm also not really a fan of silverfish. They're too creepy and crawly, and they're everywhere!"
