Biography
Bob Byington is an American film director, screenwriter, and actor based in Austin, Texas. Born April 29, 1971, he emerged as a distinctive indie voice with RSO (Registered Sex Offender) in 2008, followed by Harmony and Me in 2009. His breakthrough came with Somebody Up There Likes Me (2012), which earned the Special Jury Prize at the Locarno Film Festival. Byington continued building ensemble-driven narratives: 7 Chinese Brothers (2015) starred Jason Schwartzman, Olympia Dukakis, and Tunde Adebimpe; Infinity Baby (2017) featured Kieran Culkin, Nick Offerman, and Martin Starr. His most recent film, Lousy Carter (2023), starred David Krumholtz, Olivia Thirlby, and Starr. As a screenwriter and actor himself, Byington often inhabits his own stories, blending behind-the-camera and on-screen roles. Born under Taurus, he brings deliberate, grounded craftsmanship to narratives that resist easy categorization. His life-path number 33 (master teacher) reflects a directorial ethos centered on collaborative ensemble work and mining comedy from psychological texture.
