George Bryan was a stage player for most of his life. He is best known through his association with Lord Strange's men in 1593 and subsequently with the Chamberlain's men. Before joining Strange's men, he may be found in Denmark and Germany, 1586-7. After several years with the Chamberlain's men, he apparently left playing to become a groom of the Chamber (1603, 1611-12). He died in 1612.

In 1593 Bryan lived in the Southwark neighborhood of the Clink. At his death he was married to a woman named Mary, whom Edward Alleyn granted a share in the Fortune playhouse in 1624. He had a son, George, who was christened in the parish of St. Andrew in the Wardrobe on 17 February 1600. For further detail, see the items listed below.
