Life and career
Life and career
Billy Bryk is the son of actor Greg Bryk. His acting work includes roles in the films Night Shifts, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and When You Finish Saving the World, and a recurring role as Billy Clanton in the fourth season of Wynonna Earp. His older brother, Dempsey Bryk, is also an actor. Bryk and Wolfhard first met in Toronto's Kensington Market, having a brief conversation about their shared love of the comedy web series Jake and Amir, but did not meet again until they were both cast in Ghostbusters: Afterlife more than a year later. They have since worked together on several occasions, including Night Shifts, When You Finish Saving the World, Hell of a Summer and the Lackluster Video podcast for Headgum. Hell of a Summer debuted at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival, where it was named second runner-up for the People's Choice Award for Midnight Madness.
