Barry Conrad is making an even bigger move in his career. Fans of Home and Away already know how long he’s been handling various things at once. He has been doing TV, theatre, films and even music. And now he has relocated to the United States. After all that he got from the fast Australian scene, it comes naturally that the next step will be in the US. Scroll down to get more details.
Home and Away Actor’s Soap Journey And How Neighbours Shaped His Craft
The Australian audience knows Barry Conrad for various roles. However, many remember him from HAA and, of course, Neighbours. He played Kane Jones for two seasons. It was a fast-paced setup, and the rhythm of that show was unlike anything he had learned before.
He also spoke about how actors think that they will get several takes. However, the reality on Neighbours was completely different. The actor feels they will get rehearsals and adjustments. However, they move on after one take because of the tight run.
According to him, that place was one where you had to think on your feet. And this pressure shaped Barry’s instincts; regular training didn’t. Conrad also shared that the script on Neighbours kept changing. Moreover, sometimes things were rewritten on the same day.
The actors were required to be ready with whatever they were handed. And this style refined his craft. For him, that period was the place where he did real training. And all this helped him as he expanded into theatre, TV, film and even music.
His Stage Work, New Moves And How Destiny Changed Things For Him
Along with screen work, Conrad has a strong connection to theatre. Recently, he was spotted in the play Destiny. On the other hand, he was the main character of Ezra Jones in the production.
According to Barry, this period was the most transformational experience he had both as an actor and as a human being. It also changed the way he thinks about performance.
Elsewhere, Barry was born in Cape Town, raised in South Africa, and then he moved to New Zealand and later Australia. However, now he has relocated to the United States.
Apart from acting, he produces and hosts Banter with BC and co-hosts The Intermittent Fasting Podcast. And he is ready to explore whatever comes next. For more Home and Away spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
