Steve Barry was born on January 30, 1965, in Montréal, Québec, Canada.
A singer-songwriter, best known for his involvement in a number of Quebec-based bands, he got into acting through his casting agency at first lending his French and English voice-over talents to commercials (Claritin Liberator, Royal Lepage, Videotron, Bell Canada) and then appearing in local TV shows such as
Virginie (1996). He moved his way up slowly from background work to landing roles in
speaking parts such as in
Enquête (2007),
Trader Games (2010) and
Sang-Froid: Un conte de loups-garous (2013).
He continues to perform in various venues as a solo and multiple-band singer and appears in
Hollywood productions shot in and around Montreal, Quebec such as
X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014).
In April 2023, he was thanked by
Chris De Burgh for mounting a tribute show to his 50-year career.
