Hey guys -- there was an actor named Don Red barry who played in b-movies in the 1940s.
He starred as Red Ryder in a few films (Lou Nova also apeared in a Red Ryder film, but not with Barry)
Barry also starred in a boxing film called "Ringside" which is sort of an unofficial sequel to Cagney's "City for Conquest."
In any event -- can someone confirm that this fighter and that actor were the same guy?
Don (Red) Barry
I doubt it very much that the boxer and the movie actor are one in the same. The actor
was fairly active in B-movies from 1936 through the 1960's, as well as televison.
The boxer was a heavyweight, the actor was lucky if he was 160 Lbs. The actor, real name Barry De Acosta was born 1/11/12 and died 7/18/80.
