Barry is known for his roles in the film Interview with the Assassin, portraying Walter Ohlinger, a man who claimed to be the second shooter on the Grassy Knoll in the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and as Ron Kovic's father in the Academy Award-winning film Born on the Fourth of July. Barry also played Pa Cox in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, and is known for his character's continuous quote, "The wrong kid died!"

Other films in which he appeared include: Dead Man Walking, Cool Runnings, K2, The Tulse Luper Suitcases, Falling Down, and Training Day.
