The list process that got started yesterday while hearing Barry White on the radio continued in the background. So i finished a list of 10 Barry’s. Did a little bit of cheating to complete the list by adding Barrie’s. Barrie is basically the Dutch name version of Barry. And for a change they are not just musical Barry’s.
Meanwhile I also found out that there is an HBO TV serie which is called Barry. Just watched the trailer and this seems like a serie I should I add to my to watch list.
10. Barack ‘Barry’ Obama
The other week I noticed that there is a serie on Netflix about the student years of Barack Obama. Apparently Barack’s nickname is Barry, so a valid reason to be added to the list. I’m not into politics at all but I found out Obama is a decent comedian. At least he is a lot funnier that Jerry Seinfeld in the video below.
9. Drew Barrymore
First cheat in the list, but hey, she has Barry in her name, so who cares. Started her career starring in ET, had some roughs years after that but found her way in Hollywood. Although I’m not a big fan of Adam Sandler, my favorite movie with Drew is 50 First Dates.
8. Barrie Stevens
One cannot make a Barry/Barrie list without Barrie Stevens. Barrie was born and raised in London, but moved to Netherlands when he was 18. He is a choreagrapher, dancer, actor and director. But in Holland he is most known as jury member in the Soundmixshow.
7. Barry Kripke
Let’s continue with the first fictional character in this list. Any fans of the Big Bang Theory here? Who does not remember Sheldon’s ‘enemy’ Barry Kripke?
6. Barrie Butsers
On with another fictional character. Barrie Butsers from TV serie and movies New Kids. Love them or hate them.
5. Barrie Gibb
No introduction needed I assume…
4. Barry Atsma
Dutch actor Barry Atsma is mostly know in The Netherlands for various roles in both movies and series. My personal favorite is Klem. He also played some international roles. He played a part in Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard. One of the better Dutch movies in which he played was Bankier van het Verzet.
3. John Barry
John Barry is mostly known as composer for the music for almost any James Bond films. Although he did nod compose the James Bond theme song.
2. Barry White
Back to the man who triggered this Top10 list. Let’s pick a different track than yesterday.
1. Barry Hay
Let’s finish the list with some more Dutch pride. Barry Hay, frontman of legendary Dutch Rockband Golden Earring. If you are into reading, please check his biography.
