Bryan Singer (born September 17, 1965) is a film director from New York City, most famous for directing the blockbuster hits The Usual Suspects, X-Men, and X2. A graduate of University of Southern California's School of Cinema-Television, the Jewish, homosexual director has said that growing up as a minority influenced his development of the X-Men movies. He is the cousin of actors Marc Singer (of V and The Beastmaster fame) and Lori Singer (from the movie Fame).

Singer was part of an initial official revival of the Battlestar Galactica series with Tom DeSanto in 2001. However, with delays caused in part by the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States as well as his own committments to the second X-Men movie, Singer withdrew from the BSG revival project, which met its demise shortly after. Ronald D. Moore and David Eick would later be selected by USA Networks to begin and complete a newly-imagined BSG project.

As of Summer 2004, he accepted the position of directing a new Superman movie.
