Barry is the youngest of three sons in his family. He had an unusual and non0traditional childhood, as his family were building a ship for years and finally finished it when Barry turned five.

He was home-schooled by his parents, but they would also enroll him in public schools in those exotic places whenever possible. As a consequence of not having television on the ship and the fact that he grew up around Polynesian children who cherished dancing, singing and performing, he became interested in performing sketches as a form of entertainment.
