Wyatt Oleff is one of young Hollywood’s rising stars at age 14 with two movie franchises on his resume. Wyatt is a member of the Marvel family as ‘Young Peter Quill’ (the young version of Chris Pratt’s beloved Marvel personality Star-Lord) appearing in both blockbuster films “Guardians Of The Galaxy” and “Guardians Of The Galaxy: Vol. 2”. In the fall of 2017, Wyatt was a part of the box office record breaking “IT” phenomenon with his biggest role yet as ‘Stanley Uris’ in the adaptation of one of Stephen King’s most popular novels. Oleff brilliantly embodies the essence of Stanley, the thoughtful, play-by-the-rules member of the famed “Losers’ Club,” including all of his, now real life, best friends.

Wyatt knew he wanted to be on film from a very young age. After his family moved from Chicago to California when he was seven, his parents finally allowed him to try acting, and since then he has experienced great success. When he’s not working, he enjoys making his own short films and skits. He finds inspiration from many genres and a wide range of actors and filmmakers such as Richard Dreyfuss, James Cameron, Eddie Redmayne, Alex Hirsch, and Seth Green. He also enjoys playing the piano, gaming, drawing, and writing.

Wyatt is honored to be working with Teen Cancer America. This is the right fit for Wyatt because as a teen he understands that it’s really difficult to find your place. Not yet able to fit into the adult world but not belonging in the kid world anymore. For teens and young adults with cancer it’s even more difficult. Wyatt truly believes in the TCA mission to raise awareness and funds to help hospitals build teen focused facilities because having age targeted care is crucial for their medical treatment and psychosocial development.
