For someone who was introduced to the world of show business early on in his life, Wolfgang Novogratz took a long time to really pursue a career in acting. He was 13 years old when he was part of a TV show with his family, and seven years later the actor was starring in movies and appearing in TV shows. Slowly the actor is making his way to the top, and new Netflix movies The Half of It and Feel the Beat are propelling the actor to worldwide fame.
The actor from California was born on 9 May 1997 to his parents, father Robert Novogratz and mother Cortney Novogratz. He is the first of seven kids Robert and Cortney had together, and they were all raised in the East-coast. Wolfgang’s parents are designers, and they were the stars of a reality TV show where the whole Novogratz family, known as The Novogratz, appeared in the Bravo TV series.
