Billy Bryk is the son of actor Greg Bryk.[2] His acting work includes roles in the films Night Shifts, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and When You Finish Saving the World,[3] and a recurring role as Billy Clanton in the fourth season of Wynonna Earp.[4] 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.[5] 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.[5]
Hell of a Summer debuted at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival,[6] where it was named second runner-up for the People's Choice Award for Midnight Madness.[7]
