As a child, Finn would often spend time at the Shakespeare & Company theatre, where he father worked. He attended the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, then turned down a chance to enroll into The Juilliard School, hoping to pursue his acting career in Los Angeles. He went on to make small appearances in several television shows, but he would often face rejections, applied for The Julliard School and was accepted once again, and was a member of the drama division’s Group 37 from 2004 until 2008. Meantime, as of 2004, he appeared as a guest star in ‘’CSI: Miami’’. In the same year, he landed a supporting role in the movie ‘’Halloweentown High’’. However, after this role, Finn went on hiatus, until in 2009 he began playing Damon Miller in ‘’All My Children’’ aired on ABC, eventually leaving the show in 2011, having appeared in the total of 120 episodes, adding significantly to his net worth.
He returned to the big screen with a minor role in the action crime film ‘’Twelve’’, and remained active throughout the early 2010s, being a guest-star in series such as ‘’Criminal Minds’’ and ‘’Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’’. Concurrently in 2012, he acted in ‘’Death of a Salesman’’, which was his Broadway debut, and which earned him a Theatre World Award. In 2014, Finn appeared in ‘’Winter’s Tale’’, and the same year played the starring role in ‘’Unbroken’’, which grossed over $163 million at the box office. In the same year, Finn began working on ‘’American Horror Story’’, debuting in season four and portraying one of the main characters, Dandy Mott. Overall, the series received positive response from the audience, said to ‘’still bring the thrills, thanks to its reliably stylish presentation and game cast’’. In 2015, he worked on the fifth season and was cast as Tristan and Rudolph Valentino, appearing in nine episodes.
In 2016, Finn portrayed Greg Earnest in ‘’La La Land’’, the movie being one of the most successful movies of the year, grossing $445.6 million at the box office. In 2017, he played Jim O’Connor in the play ‘’The Glass Menagerie’’, and Wittrock’s future projects include ‘’American Crime Story’’, scheduled to appear in 10 episodes of the show in 2018. His movies ‘’Locating Silver Lake’’ and ‘’Green Olds’’ are in post-production, appearing as the main character in the former. In conclusion, Wittrock has appeared in 28 movie and television projects so far.
In his personal life, Finn has been married to Sarah Roberts since 2014, the couple having met years before at the Julliard School.

|---|---|
| 1 | I was playing a defensive guard in 'My All American' who is a really fast runner, so a lot of my training was running. I wasn't too worried about bulking up because he was supposed to be on the small side. |
| 2 | I would love to do Shakespeare in New York. |
| 3 | I played baseball growing up, second base, and then when I got to high school,it just didn't exist there. |
| 4 | I went to an Arts High School, so everyone there was kind of anti-clique, though they still happened. I guess I was in the theatre-dork clique. Not to be confused with the musical-theatre-dork clique. |
| 5 | I think in some ways, acting and writing are the same. You're getting inside the skin of someone else; you're creating their language and their actions. As a writer, you have to see the whole picture and the structure, and you have to understand every character. |
| 6 | Writing is something I've always done on the side. I thought that no one would be interested, so I kept it to myself. |
| 7 | Doing theater anywhere, especially in L.A., is a constant uphill battle, and there's also the unsexy parts of the business that you're faced with, like getting money. It's a really great thing to do. You feel like you're really an artist when you're doing that and you're in a company of artists. |
| 8 | Film and television are so piecemeal. You do one scene, and then you put it to bed, and then you do a scene that comes before. In a play, you have to go from beginning to end every night, and that's harder, but also more fulfilling in a way. |
| 9 | I found L.A. much less responsive to the name Juilliard than New York was. In New York, that name actually means something. People will look up from their desks when you walk in. In L.A. it's, 'Oh yeah, that's a music school. What do you play?' |
| 10 | I have been thinking a lot about what we see in villains, how we relate to villains, and what it is about certain villains that we actually empathize with. Like Macbeth. We're not supposed to like a guy who kills the king and takes over, but there's something about him we're really fascinated by. |
| 11 | I caught the acting bug from my dad. |
| 12 | I started writing when I started acting professionally because, with acting, there's so much time when you're not working, and there's so much rejection and so little you have control of. Writing is something that you can do, and no one can tell you not to. |
| 13 | I want to keep pushing my boundaries. One of the biggest things I learned from 'Unbroken' is that you can go a lot further than you think you can. We often underestimate our actual capabilities. |
| 14 | I'm usually late to the game on shows and watch them after they've aired. But I love 'House of Cards,' 'The Killing,' 'Orange Is the New Black,' loved 'True Detective,' and 'Arrested Development' when it was on. Also 'The Wire,' though I was way late to the game on that. |
| 15 | Ryan Murphy, he basically tries to find something that's a pulse, a pressure point in our culture, and he grabs it, and he squeezes it. I think 'Freak Show' has a lot to do with the entertainment industry and the way we entertain ourselves: the objectification of people and the lengths we'll go for our own amusement. |
| 16 | There's monsters in all of us, but there's also vulnerability. |
| 17 | Soap operas are like boot camps for film actors, so I really learned a lot. It was a masterclass in working for camera. I made myself watch myself every day. I would sort of try and be objective about it and critique myself a little. There's a lot more skill set than people realize in soap operas. They shoot, like, 35 scenes a day. |
| 18 | Sometimes you're watching a great film actor, and if you stand 10 feet away from them, you're like, 'God, they're terrible. They're not doing anything.' And then you see the close-up, and it's so nuanced, and so much expression is happening. They were acting for that camera and for no one else. |
| 19 | At first, before you meet her, you're like, 'I'm gonna meet Angelina Jolie! I'm talking to Angelina Jolie!' And then, within a matter of five minutes, you're like, 'Oh, I'm just talking to my director,' and it's just back to work. She really is all about the work. She's so surprisingly down-to-earth. |
| 20 | That's one of my real goals is to keep theater in my life. |
| 21 | A lot of the stuff that's happening now, I can trace back to 'Death of a Salesman.' Francine Maisler, the casting director, saw 'Death of a Salesman' and called me in for 'Unbroken.' The casting director of 'Normal Heart' had seen 'Salesman' too. I look back on it now, and it's like one thing led to another; it was a chain reaction. |
| 22 | I've learned 90 percent of what I know from watching and listening to actors. A good leading actor is the rock of the show. Their energy and their tone really sets the groundwork for how everything is going to work. I've been lucky to deal with stars who are very giving and generous. |
| 23 | I would love to play Henry IV, Henry V, and Hamlet. |
| 24 | So many actors started on soap operas. So yeah, I'd graduated Julliard and done some theater. I've done a few guest spots on TV but nothing that long-term. I did a little 'E.R.' back when it was on, and a pilot for 'Cold Case.' |
| 25 | I'm a klutz, through and through. |
| 26 | In film, you're so much in the hands and at the mercy of the editor, so sometimes it's good to watch it just to see how it turns out - it can be so different than how you imagined it. But sometimes it's better to just let it go for your own sense of self worth. |
