Dashiell Wolf, born on September 19, 1992, in Salt Lake City, Utah, is the son of Paul Brandt, a psychotherapist and author, and Brentz Brandt, the head of Jetblue Airlines.
Growing up, Dashiell Wolf was a multi-talented individual with diverse interests in sports, debate, music, and performance. Throughout his high school years, he juggled his passions, but eventually, he prioritized his roles in school plays, Shakespearean competition pieces, and securing a spot with his first acting agency to begin working in local films.
While still in high school, Wolf attended his first audition and was fortunate enough to be called back and narrowed down to the final two contenders for one of the lead roles in the indie-comedy Unicorn City. Although he was not selected for the lead role, the director and producer brought him back for a smaller part.
After graduating from high school, Wolf sought training, studying with professors at BYU, UVU, and WSU, before finally finding a home with the Meisner professor at Rutgers, Richie Call.
In the following summer, he took a break from university to appear in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at Hale Centre Theatre. While performing full-time for Hale Centre, he was chosen through auditions for two lead roles back-to-back, first to play Karle-Heinz Schnibbe in the WWII true-story of Helmuth Hubener, Resistance Movement, and second to play Fitzgerald Jennings (Fitch) in the indie-comedy Chick Magnets.
Wolf continued performing for Hale Centre Theatre through spring 2013, until he was cast as a lead role, Elder Johnson, in the film Inspired Guns. He also made appearances in films, including The Last Scout, Alienate, and The Rehearsal.
