From Street to Screen: An Actor's Tale with Barrie Dunn

The Power's Point Podcast

Get your popcorn ready as we dive headfirst into the iconic world of Trailer Park Boys with none other than Barrie Dunn, the man behind the unforgettable character, Ray. Barrie spills the beans on his multifaceted involvement in the show as a writer, producer, director, and of course, actor. We navigate through his journey post-Trailer Park Boys and the new ventures keeping him busy.
Our episode then shifts gears as we follow the incredible journey of a street performer in Eastern Europe during the tumultuous mid-70s. This rollercoaster of a story takes us through the highs and lows of the theatre scene in the UK, the struggle of finding acting gigs in Canada, and the varying audience reception across different countries. We also get a front-row seat to the legacy Trailer Park Boys has left behind its unique storytelling style that defied norms and how it has garnered a cult following.
Finally, to end on a high note, we lighten the mood with some candid relationship talk and fun moments. Barrie shares his wisdom about the dynamics of successful relationships, the impact of dating apps, and even showcases his impressive mimicking skills. This episode is not just a tribute to Trailer Park Boys but also a celebration of the unpredictable journey of the performing arts. So, buckle up for an entertaining ride filled with laughter, insights, and great stories.
