As a Vanier Cup champion, Greg’s life story had been set out for him by his parents. He was going to play football and then either become a lawyer or a politician. Greg believed this story to be his own but in his third year of university he accidentally learned who he truly was. Now an accomplished actor, Greg shares his story and the lessons he has learned throughout his career on how one can take charge and be the author of their own life.

Greg Bryk is former Queen's University student and Vanier Cup winning Golden Gael football player. He is a classically trained and award winning actor who has appeared in over 65 films and television shows. He has moved between creating memorable characters in feature films like Men With Brooms, History Of Violence, Poor Boys Game, Shoot Em Up and Immortals, as well as starring in television series like Bitten, Wynonna Earp, Book Of Negroes, Fargo, Regenesis, Rookie Blue, XIII and Saving Hope. He can currently be seen in the epic Netflix/Discovery series Frontier and the upcoming Mary Kills People on Lifetime and Global. Greg lives in Toronto with his wife, HGTV's Danielle Nicholas Bryk, and their three children.

    So Joseph Seed is doing a TED talk. Interesting.
  • @ProMWM
    Blessed is thy Father.
  • @Chad_Grimgravy
    It's no wonder he got the roll of Joseph Seed. His normal mannerisms and speech have such a powerful presence.
  • @shaminahmed1
    Even in real life, he is the best preacher we have!
  • @PulpFictionized
    When your acting is true, sincere and raw, there is no character. Only you.
  • @M0joPin
    "I shaved my head and mailed that hair to my mother" Now I understand why HE was chosen to portray the Father
  • @necro2658
    Judging by the comments I’d say Ubisoft accidentally made an actual real life cult.

    "I did not ask for this, I was Chosen" - The Father (Greg Bryk)
  • @ram5926
    Secret ending to Far Cry 5 unlocked!
  • @sendotiago1692
    Why did they cut the part of the video where he lifts a rifle and starts to sing amazing grace???
  • @jerrycornelius3466
    Am I alone in the dawning realisation that this is one of the best speeches ever on YouTube?
  • @liquidk5992
    Geez! He sounds like the Father even when he's not acting as him.
  • @kylesoler4139
    I came because of the fact he is going to play a character in a Video Game that I am interested in, stayed for the speech.
  • @aggelosSlipKnoTRKO
    So this guy assimilates characteristics of his roles, and uses them to build and improve upon his own personality. And the last major role he had, was of a psychopathic yet very charismatic cult leader. What could go wrong?
  • @ameyakeni
    This is a severely underrated talk. Genuinely, this guy is amazing.
  • @orvilleheschuk1092
    Impressive. Not only for the message but also the delivery - done without script and teleprompter. I guess it was most effective for that reason. It gave one the feeling of living the part and being captivated by Greg's life experience.
