Career

Charlie Wright began his acting career with minor roles, debuting as Young Adam in the 2014 sitcom The Millers, which marked his entry into television. His early work included appearances in commercials, some of which were shot by his father, and a role in the 2013 short film Aryl & Ybur.

In 2016, he landed a minor part as Adam in two episodes of Better Things, a comedy-drama series starring Pamela Adlon, gaining valuable experience in a critically acclaimed production.

His early roles, though small, showcased his commitment to acting and set the stage for his breakout opportunity. In 2017, Wright’s career took a significant turn when he was cast as Rodrick Heffley in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul, the fourth film in the franchise.

Replacing Devon Bostick, he faced intense fan backlash, with the hashtag #NotMyRodrick trending on social media, leading to criticism and even death threats that deeply affected him, as he shared in a 2024 TikTok video. Despite the controversy, his performance brought a fresh, less menacing take on Rodrick, aligning with the film’s comedic tone.

That same year, he played Chuck in Ingrid Goes West, a black comedy starring Aubrey Plaza and Elizabeth Olsen, further showcasing his versatility in both comedic and dramatic roles. He also appeared as a guest judge in the 2018 short film The Great American Mud Wrestle.

Wright’s acting roles have since been sparse, with a notable appearance in the pilot episode of Yellowjackets (2021) as Kevyn Tan, though he was recast in later episodes. He has focused on other creative pursuits, including screenwriting, earning recognition as a semi-finalist in the 2020 Final Draft Big Break Screenwriting Contest.

As a musician, he plays the guitar, and his photography work has been featured in outlets like Teen Vogue and Boys by Girls. His limited acting projects in recent years suggest a shift toward writing and other creative endeavours; however, he remains active on social media, engaging with fans on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
