Who Is Rod Barry?
Throughout his career, Rod Barry has brought energy, sexual charisma and an offbeat creativity to his work in gay male porn. Despite the ferocity he can show as a dominating
top or a sex pig bottom, in more dramatic roles he can display the broad comedy of a
horny hillbilly, the rough masculine charm of a cowboy or the romantic impetuosity in a college student in love with his professor – once even performing Hamlet’s “Alas, poor Yorick” soliloquy in an intense sexual scene without once touching his co-star.
Throughout his career Rod Barry has celebrated the pleasures of sex in all its variety.
He has appeared in more than 160 sex scenes in gay adult videos and on adult websites.
Rod Barry grew up in upstate New York, not far from the Canadian border. He is of
French-Canadian and Irish heritage. A star athlete throughout his high school years,
he went to college intending to become a gym teacher. He was a good student and
made the Dean’s list during his freshman year, but he soon found life in the small college
in rural upstate New York dreary and stifling.
Before his first year was over, Rod had decided to quit college and join the Marines.
He shipped out to Parris Island and was eventually trained to become an MP. Soon after
he joined, he married his high school sweetheart and soon found himself living in a small apartment in San Diego in a contentious and unhappy marriage. After his son was born,
he and his wife separated.
Just before getting out of the military, Rod met Dirk Yates, who is the director of a
popular series of ‘home-made’ video tapes of Marines and sailors masturbating. The Dirk Yates Private Amateur Collection tapes – a series of video taped sexual scenes – which include everything from solo masturbation scenes, to straight, bi and gay scenes –
performed almost exclusively by young servicemen recruited from the military bases that
dot the San Diego area. Marines are the Dirk Yates specialty that are featured in his The Proud, the Few and the Naked series – and Rod launched his porn career in this series.
