BOTBP: Barry Bostwick, Actor: Who is the man behind the role of Brad in the “The Rocky Horror Picture Show?”

Today on Business Off The Beaten Path, I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Barry Bostwick, the award winning actor. To listen to the full interview, please click here.

On Stage, Barry Bostwick made his Broadway debut in Cock-a-Doodle Dandy. He went on to play the original Danny Zuko in the smash-hit musical Grease, and in 1978 won a Tony Award for his work in The Robber Bridegroom.

On Film, Barry played the role of Brad on Rocky Horror Picture Show and he just wrapped work on his latest movie role as Mr Bradley, the evil real estate developer, in the new Hannah Montana movie.

On TV you would know him  as Mayor, Randall Winston on Spin City with Michael J Fox, George Washington on George Washington Mini Series and most recently his role on the series, Ugly Betty.

We had a wonderful conversation today about the many facets of Barry’s public and private life. Here are some of the topics we covered:

  • Barry’s role as Brad in the 1971 cult movie favorite,”The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and what it is like for him now to be recognized for that role 37 years later.
  • What it was like to work with the wonderful and talented Michael J Fox  in Spin City and Barry’s role as Mayor Randall Winston.
  • Why Barry believes that Charlie Sheen owes him a commission.
  • Barry’s latest role in the Hannah Montana movie coming out this Christmas.
  • How and why Barry signs an autograph in a very specific way.
  • What Barry thinks of the recently released film, “Tropic Thunder.”
  • How Barry balances his very busy career with his very private life.
  • Why Barry believes that providing “Respectful Colorful Diversion” is his calling

I absolutely loved talking with Barry and learning more about his career, his hopes and dreams and his daily spiritual practice. I really hope you will make some time to listen to this very inspiring and informative conversation. To listen to the complete interview, please click here.
