[2] Most of Barry's appearances have been in the gay pornography genre, but he has appeared in bisexual, transsexual and heterosexual videos. [1] In 2008, he was inducted into the gay pornography industry's Hall of Fame. [1]
Barry entered the industry in 1996, being discovered by Dirk Yates, [1] and his first film was The Few, The Proud, The Naked #8. [1] Barry won a Grabby Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1998, [1] for his performance in A Lesson Learned, and the Best Supporting Actor award at the GayVN Awards for White Trash. [3] He has worked for many leading directors, including Chi Chi LaRue, John Rutherford, Wash West, Steven Scarborough, Michael Zen, Mike Donner, and Doug Jeffries. [1] In 2005, he directed his first gay adult video, Down The Drain, for All Worlds Video, which incorporated a "making of" section that was considered important in the development of the genre. [4] Barry went on to direct a series called Argentinean Auditions for the studio. [5][ better source needed]
Barry was inducted into the GayVN Hall of Fame at the 10th annual award ceremony in February 2008. [1] [3] In 2008, he launched RodBarryWorld.com, a video-on-demand website. [6]
After completing one year in college, Barry served in the United States Marine Corps in 1994, then entered the pornographic industry. [1] [7]
Barry's sexual identity has been the topic of debate. [1] In a 1998 interview with director Jerry Douglas, Barry said: "I wouldn't say, heterosexual. I'd say sexual. Sexual is you like an orgasm and you don't care how you get it". [8] Barry was noted as a "famous example" of a " gay-for-pay" performer, [9] and Jeffrey Escoffier records his decision to perform full gay scenes was "based solely on financial compensation". [1] [9]
In 2009, Barry wrote about his recovery from alcohol abuse. [6]
