Barry was born in Traverse City, Michigan - the third of four children
(Scott & Christie are older, Kip is younger). His dad was an attorney
and his mother was a paralegal. At age 8, he moved to Dallas where he
started modeling. At age 14, his parents divorced. At age 15, he took
off for Burbank, California and almost immediately got a job on the NBC
soap
Des jours et des vies (1965).
That job lasted for 6 months, and he struggled. He returned to Dallas
and graduated high school from Richardson High in 1992. At age 19, he
returned to L.A., again determined to make it. He started parking cars
at the House of Blues, but, after 6 months, he was selected to appear
on the Aaron Spelling series,
Couleur Pacifique (1996).
Tori Spelling introduced him to his future
wife, Laura Payne-Gabriel.
