Rising young actor Austin Abrams shared his experience working alongside legendary stars Brad Pitt and George Clooney in the hit Apple TV+ movie “Wolfs.” Abrams, known for roles in “Euphoria” and “Dash & Lily,” plays a key part as “Kid” in the crime thriller alongside Pitt and Clooney.
In a recent interview, Abrams said landing the role in “Wolfs” was a surprise. “It was something I never imagined could happen,” he explained. Both Pitt and Clooney have lengthy careers and are regarded as two of Hollywood’s top actors. Abrams recalled feeling doubtful during the audition, thinking “Why am I even trying out? I won’t get this part.”
Despite initial uncertainty, Abrams secured the role of “Kid” in “Wolfs.” The movie centers around two “lone wolf” fixers, resembling Pitt and Clooney’s characters, who are hired to cover up a crime in New York City. On set, Abrams found Pitt and Clooney to be very welcoming and easy to work with. However, he understood the long relationship between the two veteran actors and aimed to be “an asset” without disrupting their dynamic.
“Wolfs” has become Apple TV+’s most viewed movie after releasing theatrically on September 20th and streaming one week later. As reported by Deadline, the film’s star power drove large audiences to the platform. For Abrams, starring in “Wolfs” next to Pitt and Clooney represented an important career milestone and a valuable learning experience about collaborative filmmaking.
Going forward, Abrams’ role in “Wolfs” demonstrates his growing talent recognized amongst top actors in Hollywood. Working with Pitt and Clooney was an opportunity that Abrams may never have imagined but one that seems to cement his rising status within the industry.
