Awards and nominations

Career

Barry won a Grabby Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1998 for his performance in "A Lesson Learned" and the Best Supporting Actor award at the GayVN Awards for "White Trash".[5] He has worked for many leading directors, including Chi Chi LaRue, John Rutherford, Wash West, Steven Scarborough, Michael Zen, Mike Donner, and Doug Jeffries. In 2005 he directed his first gay adult video, Down The Drain, for All Worlds Video. Since then he has directed a series of "Argentinean Auditions" 1 and 2 for the studio.[9] He was inducted into the GayVN Hall of Fame at the 10th annual award ceremony in February 2008.[5] In 2008 he launched RodBarryWorld.com, a video on demand website.[10]

His first movie was "The Few, The Proud, The Naked #8".[11]

Personal life

Barry served in the United States Marine Corps before being discovered by Dirk Yates.[12]

Barry's sexual identity has been frequently the topic of some debate. At the beginning of his career, in an interview with director Jerry Douglas in Manshots magazine (June 1998), Barry told Douglas when he was asked, "I wouldn't say, heterosexual. I'd say sexual. Sexual is you like an orgasm and you don't care how you get it." (p. 73)

In 2009, Barry wrote about his recovery from alcohol abuse.[13]
