Greg Kriek

Official 2024 Primetime Emmy® Shortlisted Actor Greg Kriek was an official contender for the 2024 Primetime Emmy® Awards in the race for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series/Movie for his compelling performance opposite Kevin Hart in DIE HART 2: DIE HARTER. He found himself in competition with some of the industry's elite, including Barry Keoghan, Robert Downey Jr., Callum Turner, and Taylor Kitsch. With over 95 international screen credits, Greg has emerged as one of South Africa's most globally recognized actors and producers living and working in Hollywood today. He is widely acclaimed for his versatility and transformative performances, especially in award-winning projects. Greg is officially South Africa's most internationally credited actor in his category. His recent highlights include starring as Dr. Tony Sinclair in the Emmy® winning film The Serengeti Rules and his powerful turn as Karl Stromberg in the four-time Emmy-nominated series Die Hart 2: Die Harter alongside Kevin Hart, John Cena, and Nathalie Emmanuel. Greg's work in 2023 earned him Best Supporting Actor of the Year at the Oscar-qualifying Los Angeles Annual Film Awards for his standout role in the Holocaust drama TRUST opposite Emily Bader.

Having trained with some of the industry's most revered acting coaches and institutions, such as Larry Moss, Anthony Meindl Studios, The Second City, and Ivana Chubbuck, Greg has honed a craft that speaks across genres and borders. Looking ahead, 2025 promises to be another banner year, with over seven major releases, including a major role in a top-secret Amazon limited series, a new western feature with Hollywood legends Harvey Keitel and Dermot Mulroney, and main ensemble roles in BROKEN THINGS and FACE.
