After the Nickelodeon series ended, Wolff and his brother formed a music duo called Nat & Alex Wolff, and they released the albums Black Sheep (2011), Public Places (2016) and Table for Two (2023). He focused his career on film roles, portraying Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in Patriots Day (2016) and John "Derf" Backderf in My Friend Dahmer (2017).
