  • What is Barry's Profession

    Due to the automobiles he drives in the show, it is obvious he's doing quite well in some profession; I wonder what it is.

  • Barry's profession

    I don't think that is the same Barry Weiss! The producer was born in 1959 making him only 52 years old. Barry is 60 years old.

    Not the same Barry Weiss. He's retired and is there simply as a collector.

    Well IMDb lists him as that one... They have his role on this show, and several credits "as producer" including the ones I gave...

  • Interview with storage wars Barry weiss

    One of the biggest questions fans have about you, Barry, is what you do for a living. The rumor is that you are or were a Hollywood producer ... true?
    (Laughing) No, no, I'm not. Actually, I've been an antique collector my entire life, and I was in the produce business for 20‑25 years, and I retired about four years ago. I just was traveling around the world and enjoying life, really. The way this opportunity came along was a close friend of mine, Thom Beers, who is the creator of the show, was over one night. I don't know, we were having a few drinks. He said he was working on something with these storage lockers, and would I like to be a part of it? And basically that's sort of how things unfolded.

  • The Man

    Being a straight, smooth, ultra hip, card carrying, genuine, honest to God bad-ass. I mean, just look at the man-- he has cool radiating off of him like the way stink used to be represented in classic cartoons by these, wavy, green colors and lines--he has cool like that, but instead of green, the rays are a shimmering gold, and he's blinding us with his massive, beautiful aura.

    I know that this has nothing to do with the topic, but Brry Rules, and I couldn't pass-up an opportunity to talk about him or his groovyness.

  • Barry's profession

    Saw an interview and he was in the produce business with his brother for many years until he retired about 4 years ago.  Also an avid collector for many, many years

    He has lived in L.A. for over 50 years

    LOL, Curt, I love the WeissGuy idea! A&E is already selling Barry's skeleton gloves on their website. Barry is just too cool -- smart, easy-going, great sense of humor. He'd be a blast to hang out with.

  • Godfather of.....

    Jesse James. Google Barry and his Cadillac for and awesome video of who Barry is. It only makes sense of his toys, if Jesse built them.

    I love the WeissGuy clothing line! Barry has such style! Maybe he could be a guest on Project RunWay and they could make him an outfit for the show!

  • Re: What is Barry's Profession

    I believe he was the Vice President of About Northern Produce-Mushroom Inc.
    Saw a report it estimates 10M in gross sales. Not 100% on that though. Barry is my favorite :P

    Barry Weiss

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Barry Weiss (born February 11, 1951 in New York, New York) is an American music executive. He is the current Chairman & CEO of Island Def Jam Motown Music Group and Universal Republic. He served as chairman and CEO of RCA/Jive Label Group from 2008 to 2011. He was also the CEO of its constituent Jive Label Group from 1991 to 2011. Both fall under the purview of Sony Music Entertainment.[1] Weiss is best known as an important force in the careers of Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync, among numerous others. Weiss' father, Hy Weiss, was a music entrepreneur from the first generation of rock'n'roll, owning and operating Old Town Records from 1953 until 1996.
    The Wikipedia article shows THAT Barry Weiss as being born in 1959.

  • PRODUCE as in fruits and veggies!

    My mom used to work for his company. He owns it with his brother. So when he says produce it does not mean he is a producer!

  • This is likely his company....

    http://www.powerprofiles.com/profile/00005144625531/NORTHERN+PRODUCE-MUSHROOMS,+INC.-LOS+ANGELES-CA#
    It would make sense. A produce company in the Los Angeles area and he is listed as Vice President, whereas a Joey Weiss is listed as President. According to that site, they produce $11 million in annual sales and have been open for approximately 30 years. So, if this is the one, then it makes sense why Barry seems to have some money with his killer cars and collecting mentality. Even after expenses, a VP of a company doing $11 million in sales would likely take home about a million or two per year. Agreed with many, Barry is a cool dude!
