This is Bries.

He's an actor and director based out of Los Angeles. Bries came up in rural Iowa and cut his teeth in Chicago storefront theatre for a decade before transitioning to film and television work in both Chicago and L.A.

​

At 6'3", Bries is most immediately recognizable for his long, rangy physique and his unconventional movement training (a profane mix of Butoh, Clown, and Dada performance), which lends to his experience as both a character and creature actor.

​

Bries is a proud member of SAG-AFTRA, and can be seen on screen in episodes of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, NCIS: Origins, The Rookie, and The Exorcist, as well as in Zack Snyder's space opera Rebel Moon and Racheal Cain's debut thriller Somnium. As a creature performer, he has brought to life the work of numerous brilliant makeup and FX artists, including Gary Tunnicliffe, Olga Tarnovetska, Patrick Bradberry, and Ian Von Cromer.
