Walt Gryczan

I grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan. My family and I moved to North Carolina when I was 11, but I did not start my passion for acting until my final year of college where I worked both on stage and backstage on dozens of productions. My first on screen scenes were as background on Hulu's Reprisal, where I was primarily a Banished Brawler, but also played a cop and a knife fight participant. I continued working as a background actor as part of the hit Netflix show Outer Banks, being filmed in Charleston, South Carolina. On OBX, I played a town council member and a Kook. While working on Outer Banks, I was asked to try out for a role in the upcoming Halloween Kills movie filming in North Carolina. I played Tivolis in the Halloween Kills movie, where I had my first experience with actual special effects and green screen scenes. Though challenging, this was a great experience with some extremely talented actors. Working with a director as talented as David Green was an amazing experience, that helped me grow professionally. After filming in Halloween Kills, I was asked to work as a Carmelos in the second season of High Town. Unfortunately due to other obligations, I was not able to work more on the show. I did manage to get a few scenes in with another exciting show, Florida Man, where I was a Gun Show Vendor and a Bar Patron. I received a call to join the cast of The Great Dismal in early 2022. It was a great new independent film team, where many young actors got their moment to shine. The Great Dismal is a fun low budget film that showcases several up and coming stars of the big screen and is the first full length feature by a wonderful friend of mine, Bill Howard. The acting bug will always have my heart and I hope to continue working in the film industry for years to come
