Early life and education
Wolfe grew up between Wakefield, Yorkshire, and New Quay on the Welsh coast. Wolfe attended Ackworth School near Pontefract and joined a local Saturday youth theatre in Wakefield. He joined the National Youth Theatre at 14. Wolfe credits theatre with helping him out of his shell, saying "I was a very high strung, anxious child who didn't say very many words . . . Theatre was really my first outlet to, I guess, express myself, find my voice, make friends, find a community."
He went on to graduate from Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts in London in 2017. He also trained at Chetham's School of Music in Manchester.
