Scotty Simms

Scotty Simms arrives among the boys stranded in The Wilds' second story, a polished, high-achieving kid whose composure seems to depend on control — of his surroundings, his routines, his own anxious mind. He wants order in a place that offers none, and watching him try to impose it says everything about who he is.

Reed Shannon plays Scotty's need for control as something tender rather than merely quirky, letting small cracks show under the charm without tipping into caricature. The writing uses his anxieties as a real lens on the group's survival, and Shannon's quiet, watchful performance makes his discomfort feel earned rather than exaggerated.
