Roy Barry's professional career began at age eighteen in the summer stock musicals of the St. Louis Municipal Opera. Studies in acting, voice and dance gave Roy needed proficiency to be cast in five Broadway productions: "Follies", "Hello Dolly!", "Maggie Flynn", "Coco" and "The Yearling". Roy was featured with Katharine Hepburn, Alexis Smith, Yvonne DeCarlo, Dorothy Lamour, Jack Cassidy, Bob Hope and worked with such directors of prominence as Lloyd Richards, Hal Prince, Morton DeCosta, Gene Kelly, Gower Champion, Michael Bennett and Agnes DeMille. By age 25 he had two years Army service and four performing union affiliations.
Successful nightclub performing proved educational as well, as he learned from the best how to roll with the punches. Over a period of ten years Roy was featured in over 100 commercials, two of which were nominated for the CLIO, the "Oscar" of commercials. Roy hosted a quiz show for PBS entitled "The Learning Game", appeared in an on-going role on "Another World" and in other films.
Roy has trained with the best teachers in NYC and LA. Work with Warren Robertson, Peggy Feurey, Lee Strasberg, David Le Grant, Irene Dailey, Jack Waltzer and Eric Morris has given Roy an eclectic understanding of the craft of acting leading him to conclude that the actor EVENTUALLY finds his own way of working. Roy taught in NYC at the Warren Robertson Workshop, substituting for Warren in his professional classes, and taught his own class at the The Actor's and Director's Lab on Theatre Row. He now resides in Somerville with wife, Danielle, and their two daughters.
