RoleAlan Grant's assistant
Portrayed byAlessandro Nivola


Billy Brennan was a graduate student in paleontology working for Dr. Alan Grant at the Fort Peck Lake, Montana dig site during and prior to the events of Jurassic Park III. He traveled to Isla Sorna with Grant, The Kirby's and their team. In Jurassic Park 3 he is portrayed as an enthusiastic young paleontologist who follows Dr.Grant to Isla Sorna not because Grant thought that he would be informative to the Kirby's tour of Isla Sorna he was about to guide but because he was the one who got them into their current situation and he did not want to be left alone with them. He is shown to be very serious about his career as he was willing to take a calculated risk and put himself in danger to fund the dig-site he was working at by stealing velociraptor eggs, thinking that they would be worth a fortune enough to fund his and Grant's dig-site for another decade. This eventually led to Grant losing all respect for him. However he managed to redeem himself later in Grants eyes by rescuing Eric from the pteranodon enclosure He was believed to be dead when the Pteranodons attacked him, but was later discovered to still be alive and was later rescued by the United States Marine Corps.
