According to People magazine, the 70-pound purple costume sometimes got up to 120 degrees on the inside, and the actor could only look out through Barney’s mouth. As adults, it would be tempting to think that the guy playing Barney must have been a down-on-his-luck actor answering a cheap job advertisement, struggling to pay the bills with some weirdo side gig that involved wearing an insanely hot costume and bouncing up and down. To kids watching the show, Barney was Barney, a real dinosaur. Hit Entertainment Limited He played Barney for 10 years After the premonition, he was already pretty sure he had it locked in. Joyner said he wasn’t too surprised to get the call, though. Joyner was inspired by this, and took that passion into his audition, successfully scoring the role of a lifetime and helping create one of the biggest cultural icons of the ’90s.
The next day, as Joyner was driving to the audition, he recalls seeing a Southwest Airlines billboard with the caption “Breathe life into your vacation,” just as he had dreamed of breathing life back into an unconscious Barney. Good thing Barney doesn’t have sharp teeth. In this vision, Barney was passed out on the ground, and Joyner had to rush to the dinosaur’s rescue, saving him through mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Sure enough, on the night before his big audition to play Barney, he had an intriguing dream about the now-popular character. He told Business Insider he knew beforehand that he was going to get the Barney role, stating “I was supposed to do this character.”Īccording to Joyner, he comes from a family filled with psychic energy, and a lot of clairvoyance, so when it’s time to make big life decisions, he has always trusted his dreams to guide the way. That’s not a footnote on his wicked-crazy-cool resume, either: His spirituality is a key aspect of his motivation, drive, and purpose.
