Rod Barry (born 5 December 1973; also Rob deBaer, Rod Berry, Rod)[1] is a former pornographic actor and director from the United States who has been credited in over 150 pornographic films and internet-based shows since entering the industry in 1996.[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]
Personal life
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]
