Billy Brennan was a young associate professor in paleontology[1][2] and the site manager[2] for Dr. Alan Grant's new dig site at Fort Peck Lake, Montana.

Story

Early life

Billy was born in or around 1976.[2]

At 25,[2] Billy was an associate professor in paleontology and worked as the site manager of his colleague Dr. Alan Grant.[2]

Isla Sorna

Billy traveled to Isla Sorna with Grant, the Kirby's, and their team. Brennan is portrayed as an enthusiastic young paleontologist who follows Dr. Grant to Isla Sorna, not because Grant thought that he would be informative to the Kirby's tour of Isla Sorna he was about to guide, but because he was the one who got them into their current situation and he did not want to be left alone with them.

He is shown to be very serious about his career as he was willing to take a calculated risk and put himself in danger to fund the dig site he was working at by stealing Velociraptor eggs, thinking that they would be worth a fortune enough to fund his and Grant's dig site for another decade. This eventually led to Grant losing all respect for him. However, he managed to redeem himself later in Grant's eyes by rescuing Eric from the Isla Sorna Aviary.

He was believed to be dead when the Pteranodons attacked him but was later discovered to still be alive, just barely, and was later rescued by the United States Marine Corps.

Trivia

  • Despite his name, he is not the same Billy from the first movie or the video game; however, he could be one of the paleontologists who were also part of the dig site from the first film.
  • It is unknown how he survived, but it can be assumed he was washed downriver, and found by the rescue party.
  • In an early script for JPIII, he was originally named Billy Hume, a graduate student. He assisted Grant in a lecture held at a dig site in Utah. In a point in the story, Grant and the group enters a giant bird cage with Pteranodons. There, wealthy businessman Paul Roby's son, Miles, is snatched by a Pteranodon, which drops him in its nest of hungry babies. Billy jumps into the canyon to save Miles by parasailing. They're attacked by four of the winged beasts. Miles survives but Billy dies at the claws of a massive Pteranodon.[3] Some of the early story lines bear similarity with the final script.

LEGO Jurassic World

Billy Brennan will be a playable character in the video game LEGO Jurassic World. He is able to climb rocks and paraglide short distances. [4]
