Barry Corbin - Three Time Primetime Emmy Nominated Actor - 225 IMDB Movie Credits - Down to Earth Legend

Barry Corbin is a legend on the big and small screen. He’s also the nicest human you’ll ever meet. If you’ve seen a movie, streamed a show, or watched a good old fashion network television series, in the last 48 years, you’ve seen Barry’s work. He is ubiquitous in the world of entertainment. Heck, he’s even been the voice of Harley Davidson. Barry’s first string of movies were Urban Cowboy, Stir Crazy and Any Which Way You Can. If you’re a movie buff, and you’re keeping score, that’s John Travolta, Richard Pryor, Gene Wilder, Sidney Poitier, and Clint Eastwood as the talent that Barry worked with at the beginning of his film career. If Barry Corbin had a pop culture game like the “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon,” it would be the, “Three Degrees of Barry Corbin.” It doesn’t take long to list an actor connected to Barry. Better Call Saul, Modern Family, One Tree Hill, Tulsa King, Yellowstone, No Country For Old Men, Dallas, War Games, and Hart to Hart, are just a few of the shows and movies Barry has appeared in.

 

Barry performed  his one man show, “An Evening With Barry Corbin,” at my hometown, Snyder, Texas on Saturday, July 13th. My good friend and fellow Tiger from Snyder High School (class of 1989)  Melissa Hodges Rico had organized the event. Once she discovered, I’d been talking about Barry on The Tinstreamer Podcast since March, she reached out and said (on the subject of having Barry on my podcast), “I think I can make it happen.” So on the eve of Barry’s show, in the place I grew up, at my high school, and in the very auditorium where I realized that writing was my destiny, I had an hour-long conversation with one of my heroes. I hope you enjoy this chat as much as I did.

 

This was a convergence of where I came from, and where I am now. I’m blessed by a supportive wife and friends from my youth that continue to believe in me. Justin Rex drove in from Lubbock to photograph the episode. I’m incredibly fortunate to have new friends and colleagues like Justin in my current creative universe that keep me inspired and motivated to chase down my most ambitious and fulfilling endeavors. Thank you to Barry and Jo Corbin for saying yes. I am forever grateful. Full Zen is Now!
