Big and cuddly Barry Godin is a daddy bear with a bulging... resume! Through the years, the Pennsylvania native proved his virility on camera and versatility behind the scenes. After graduating from Washington and Lee University in Virginia, Barry headed to New York City where he studied at the School for Visual Arts. With his props specialty, Godin got gigs in the art department of the children’s shows Gullah, Gullah Island (1994-1995) and Blue’s Clues (1996-1999). Yet he’s better known to adults for lending his commanding presence to more mature projects on the big and small screens. Barry started out with background roles, such as playing a mugger, an orderly and an officer on the soaps Another World (1986), All My Children (1988) and Ryan’s Hope (1985-1986), respectively. At the risk of being typecast, the bit part player continued to portray officers in the R rated crime flicks Sea of Love (1989) with Al Pacino and Cadillac Man (1990) with Robin Williams. Barry could also be seen as a language teacher in the Oscar-nominated dramedy Dead Poets Society (1989). But he really ramped up his exposure when he nabbed guest spots on popular shows (Bored to Death, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) and a recurring role on the Netflix sitcom Friends from College (2017-2019). Of course, we prefer his shirtless turn as Senator O’Heir on the drama Hunters (2020). Once you spot the stout stud being buggered by Jackson Mattek, the Amazon Prime series will keep you streaming!
