A scene at the very end ofWolfsprovidesa hint of what the Kid’s name might be. Austin Abrams joins Brad Pitt and George Clooney in theWolfscast, playing the character named the Kid. He starts the film presumed dead, with the District Attorney, Margaret (Amy Ryan), calling a fixer to clean up his body. It’s only after he’s escorted out of the hotel and placed in the trunk of a car that Pitt and Clooney’s characters realize he’s still alive but had an adverse reaction to some drug.
The Kid spends the majority ofWolfsfollowing Pitt and Clooney’s characters around, eventually completing the job alongside them. InWolfs’ending, one of the final scenes shows them all returning to the Kid’s house, where the audience is introduced to his father, played by action/comedian Richard Kind. The scene progresses rather quickly, but the limited dialogue offers a lot to consider.
Richard Kind is a long-time friend of Clooney and has appeared in minor roles in his previous projects, includingArgo(which Clooney produced) andConfessions of a Dangerous Mind.

This could be a clue to the Kid’s real name, asit seems highly possible that a man so enamored by Frank Sinatra would name his son Frank.

Wolfs Leaves Out Character Names For Thematic Reasons
It’s clearwhy Brad Pitt and George Clooney’s characters don’t have names, but the reason for the Kid not having one is a bit more vague. It could be because he’s lost himself in the events leading up to the evening, and the lack of a name is a way of symbolizing the disparity between his actions and his genuine personality.
