Rich Barry is a prime-time tested ratings maker as an executive producer. He always has a strong sense of what audiences are going to want to see - even before they know it. Time after time I've seen Rich prove that he knows how to reach a targeted television audience. He's good at managing budgets, people & all of the other intangible resources that create entertaining programming

Here is a recommendation not only for a great and inspiring leader, but to the man who took my cow out of the closet and made her a celebrity.
TRUE STORY: A few years ago, when Richard was an AP or something like that, I had a revelation and made a prediction to another co-worker. "You see that kid there? Someday, sooner or later, I tell you with mathematical certainty, that Rich Barry will be seating in Herb's chair. " (Herb Scanell was Nickelodeon's CEO back then).
Stay tuned. It's a matter of time.
Manny Galán
Executive Creative Director at Grey Group
Richard is a brilliant, conscientious and inspiring leader with a refreshingly creative mind. He has a keen ability to immediately assign the right person to the right project for the best results. He is also one of the rare exceptions of a person in charge who speaks like he knows what he's talking about and actually knows what he's talking about. Innovative, easy going and always ready to contribute ideas and solutions to any given situation. Also, he has an impressive jaw line of heroic proportions that he can probably crack walnuts with.

Richard Barry is a dynamic figure, a scholar, a gentleman and a sage. He has the ability to multi-task while handling many different projects, each with its own separate set of tasks and subsequent multi-tasks. With great aplomb, Rich can gracefully ask a grown man to wear a banana costume and throw corn dogs at another man wearing a bear costume while both of them ride unicycles and scream about what’s coming up next on Nickelodeon. He is a very talented director and producer with an eye for detail and a great sense of timing. Rich has the added benefit of being a reasonable person with an attitude of collaboration and a quick wit. I’ve worked with him several times over the past fifteen years and wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.
