Tremblay subsequently starred as a child with Treacher Collins syndrome in the drama Wonder (2017) and a naive sixth grader in the comedy Good Boys (2019). He has since taken on voice roles as Damian Wayne / Robin in Harley Quinn (2019), the title character in Luca (2021), and Flounder in The Little Mermaid (2023).
Tremblay, the middle of three children, was born on October 5, 2006, in Vancouver , British Columbia .[ 2] [ 3] His father is a police detective. Tremblay's sisters are actresses Erica and Emma Tremblay .[ 4]

In 2016, Tremblay played a supporting role in the comedy film Donald Trump's The Art of the Deal: The Movie ; and guest-starred as the younger version of the main character, Phil Miller, on Fox 's post-apocalyptic comedy series The Last Man on Earth .[ 9] That same year, he starred in the horror film Before I Wake , with Kate Bosworth and Thomas Jane ,[ 10] and played a supporting role in the psychological thriller Shut In , alongside Naomi Watts , and co-starring Oliver Platt ,[ 11] and directed by Farren Blackburn .[ 12] He also portrayed Wes Firth in the adventure comedy-drama Burn Your Maps , starring with Vera Farmiga and Marton Csokas .[ 13]

Williams. Good Boys earned $21 million during its opening weekend, becoming the first R-rated comedy since The Boss , which was released in April 2016, to finish first at the box office.
Tremblay brought his fellow actors to tears with his cameo performance in Doctor Sleep , the 2019 sequel to The Shining ,[ 17] as a kidnapped boy who is tortured to death in a scene which director Mike Flanagan initially feared would be too traumatic to include in the final cut.[ 18] Commenting on the performance, Flanagan said, "he's one of the best actors I’ve ever worked with in my entire life."[ 19]
In July 2019, it was announced that he would be voicing Flounder in the live-action adaptation of Disney's The Little Mermaid , directed by Rob Marshall .[ 20] [ 21] Tremblay voices Robin in the DC Universe adult animation series Harley Quinn .[ 22] On October 16, 2020, he was featured in the video for Justin Bieber 's track "Lonely " with record producer Benny Blanco .[ 23]
