Brycen Counts

Brycen Counts, now there’s a name that pops up in the credits of some seriously crowd-pleasing blockbusters. He’s been around the Hollywood rollercoaster, racking up experience on movies that pretty much everyone’s at least heard of, if not obsessed over. Black Panther? Oh, yeah, he’s in the mix there—think about how that film exploded onto the scene, bringing Wakanda to life in a way that totally flipped the script for superhero flicks. Counts' work helped build that whole vibe, whether you noticed his name or not. But rewind a bit and you’ll spot him in Planet of the Apes (the 2001 version, not the OG classic or the newer reboots). That movie, for all its wild monkey makeup and twisty story, had a certain oddball charm. The kind of project where every piece of the crew matters, and Counts? He’s one of those behind-the-scenes folks who make it all tick. He didn’t stop there, either. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales—yeah, the one with ghost pirates, trippy visuals, and Johnny Depp doing his Captain Jack Sparrow thing. Counts was part of that chaos too, working in the shadows to stitch together all those big set pieces and wild effects. Honestly, if you’re into movies with huge spectacle and a dash of madness, you’ve probably seen his handiwork without even realizing. Not everyone’s a household name, but people like Brycen Counts are the backbone of the stuff we love on screen.
