The actor J. Barney Sherry belonged to the pioneers of the American
film and he became one of the first US movie stars, first under the
pseudonym James B. Reeves, later as J. Barney Sherry.
But his
career already began in earlier years on stage where he made his stage
debut with the play "Jack and the Beanstalk". He played the role of the
giant.
His first movies came in 1905 into being with "Raffles, the Amateur Cracksman" (05) and "Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" (05).
From 1909 he took part in numerous movies in which he impersonated very different roles.
To
his well-known works of those years belong "The Mexican's Crime" (09),
"A Romance of the Prairie" (10), "The Man from Texas" (10), "Lost for
Many Years" (10), "The Sea Wolves" (10), "The Totem Mark" (11),
"Evangeline" (11), "The Colonel's Peril" (12), "A White Lie" (12), "A
Shadow of the Past" (13), "The Counterfeiter" (13), "The Banshee" (13),
"Devition" (13), "The Soul of the South" (13), "The Mills of the Gods"
(14), "The Devil" (15) and "The Valley of Hate" (15).
His
appearances in front of the camera remained extensive in the 2nd half
of the 10s and he appeared in the movies "The Raiders" (16), "The
Aryan" (16), "The Phantom" (16), "The Snarl" (17), "Ten of Diamonds"
(17), "Fanatics" (17), "Who Killed Walton?" (18), "The Reckoning Day"
(18), "Mary Regan" (19), Yvonne from Paris" (19) and "The Tiger Lily"
(19).
His impressive film career remained restricted to the silent film era.
So his last cinematical works came in the 20s into being where he was engaged for many movies again.
To
these movies belong "The Breath of the Gods" (20), "The Barbarian"
(21), "Shadows of the Sea" (22), "Secrets of Paris" (22), "Till We Meet
Again" (22), "Dixie" (24), "Born Rich" (24), "Lying Wives" (25), "False
Pride" (25), "The Brown Derby" (26), "Spider Webs" (27), "Alex the
Great" (28) and "In Old Madrid" (29).
J. Barney Sherry remained active at the theater in later years as well and he acted regular at the Playhouse in Philadelphia.
