Not only has Barry taught me so much about the business, but he continues to pay it forward to teach an entire new generation invaluable information.
JULIE ASHTON (Casting Director - 2 Broke Girls/MADtv/Bob's Burgers/Arrested Development)

In a show business world of superficiality, he always goes in depth and personal. He has a lot to say, because of his vast experience and expertise, but he also listens - and it's that genuine interest and enthusiasm that brings out the best. He's a fan of the entertainment business, but he's also a teacher and a lifelong student, all of which comes through when you are around him.
