Fan Casting Billy Bear in The Safdie Brothers' 48 Hrs.

A Tlingit and Koyukon-Athabascan man who followed Ganz out of prison and into a spiral of toxic loyalty, Billy is the film's tragic heart. Sensmeier plays him with heavy, stoic stillness—an enforcer who is exhausted by violence but incapable of escaping it. His relationship with Casey is a cycle of abuse and desperate love, and his final act is not surrender but a roar of self-destructive defiance.
