"You know the score, pal. When you're not a cop, you're little people".

Fancher and Peoples

 

Police Captain, a sleazy cop who has no qualms about crushing those who oppose his will. His dirty work's done by Gaff. Deckard's manipulated by Bryant into resuming his old line of work, regulating escaped replicants.

Michael Emmet Walsh played Bryant's character. Other Walsh's films are: End of the Road, Midnight Cowboy, Cold Turkey, Alice's Restaurant, Strait Time, Blood Simple. "Bryant loved his work. He lived in that office. That's because I played him so well..." Ridley Scott had well precise ideas about Bryant's character. He advised Walsh to let himself grow beard and moustache. "Ridley also told me that Bryant's stomach was in bad conditions. That's the reason why he offers Deckard two glasses of whisky in his office. Bryant liked to see others drinking because he couldn't.
