<b>He's Barret Oliver, the perfect young actor who lived "The Neverending Story," now playing the perfect little boy.</b><br />
<br />
Daryl is the perfect little boy. In fact he is a totally new sort of child, a product of genetics and super-science, a test-tube baby with a computer chip fro a brain.<br />
<br />
Twelve-year-old Barret Oliver, the actor who plays "Daryl" isn't exactly a newcomer despite his young age. He has already starred in several major motion pictures and television series. And, though genre fans may not immediately recognize Oliver's name, his acting career has already taken the lad through four film fantasies: <span style="font-style: italic;">The Neverending Story</span>, the Disney short, <span style="font-style: italic;">Frankenweenie</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Cocoon</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">D.A.R.Y.L</span>..<br />
<br />
"When I was around six, my brother was an actor," Oliver explains, "So I asked my mom if I could be an actor too. When she said yes, I just started. The first thing I did was a commercial for a toy called ['Sit and Spies?.'] After that I did more commercials and a couple TV shows. I was in Knight Rider once."<br />
<br />
The interview with the Oliver household began, however, not with a sampling of <span style="font-style: italic;">Knight Rider</span>, but at the end of the day's episode of [Roboteck?]. The animated Japanese series is one of Oliver's favorites, and he collects it on videocassette. He also watches the other robot-type cartoons and has a large collection of Japanese Transformers-style toys. Could it be that this liking for mechanical men gave him a particular affinity for his role as the "not-quite human" Daryl?<br />
<br />
"Daryl is not really a robot," comments Oliver, "Many people think that he is, but the script particularly says that I'm not a robot. What I am is a boy who was raised in a test-tube, not a mother's womb. My body is perfectly normal, except that instead of a brain, I have a computer chip. The idea is to create a perfect being, one that doesn't mess up, doesn't get angry--one that does everything for itself. I'm the prototype, D.A.R.Y.L., which is from Data Analyzing Robot Youth Lifeform."<br />
<br />
"My adoptive parents in the film [Mary Beth (World According to [George?]) Hurt and Micheal (This Is Spinal Tap) McKean] don't know what I am until the movie's end, because the guy who created me (Joeseph Sommer) put me into a foster home. Later, the other scientists come back for me. There's a general who wants me destroyed because I'm a child. What he wants is something essentially like Daryl, but in an adult form, which can teach soldiers perfect measures for warfare. Then, those soldiers teach other soldiers."<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW52w2Rn87yBTw6VFbH0LBJV106WxfmViOzH-zmQd7p91aaeSnwctiBIggCcG5WAgekcwl5kztgsk5yhLAI6cHhpIBI4bbVc7Jj-IRPLpPZFGodTiYuSIKq0Tb-3-yNI8EoDQBh7l_VPxN/s1600/st97035.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW52w2Rn87yBTw6VFbH0LBJV106WxfmViOzH-zmQd7p91aaeSnwctiBIggCcG5WAgekcwl5kztgsk5yhLAI6cHhpIBI4bbVc7Jj-IRPLpPZFGodTiYuSIKq0Tb-3-yNI8EoDQBh7l_VPxN/s320/st97035.jpg" width="232" /></a>This year, Oliver plays David, the grandson of Wilford Brimley and Maureen Stapleton in Cocoon. "The film's about these old folks--and they're real old, 80, 90, close to dying," Oliver explains. "There's this pool next door to their home that they always swim in. One day, they see it being rented out. Everybody's all [?], but they decide to go in and swim anyway. Then, they start feeling real good....."<br />
<br />
"Later, you find out that it's because of these aliens who have come back after a few thousand years. The aliens came back to pick up some of their kind who they had to leave behind the last time. They left them in cocoons, in the Bermuda Triangle area."<br />
<br />
Cocoon director Ron Howard (page 15) was a child actor too, and Oliver warmly recalls their relationship. "Ron was very nice in general," he answers. "He's just the same as he was in Happy Days. He didn't take himself to be a hot shot because he has been in the business a long time. I think that's very nice. He would sit down with me and we would go over a scene, and if we didn't like something, he would change it. For the scene where I' in the water, telling my grampa to go, we had a talk about what I would say, and we finally came up with the right lines."<br />
<br />
In 1984, Oliver portrayed Bastian, the child who is given the most mysterious book, The Neverending Story, and embarks upon a quest to save the realm of imagination from the gaping jaws of Nothing, in Wolfgang Peterson's adaptation from Michael Ende's bestseller. "Wolfgang Peterson was a real nice guy and good to work with," Oliver remembers, "Most of my scenes took place in the attic, where I would be laying down reading the book. Wolfgang would come over and talk to me. He wouldn't just say, 'Do this, this and this.' He would tell me what he wanted, and it was real fun."<br />
<br />
The FX-oriented scenes in which Bastian rides Falcor the luckdragon, however, weren't the actor's favorite memories. "They just put the dragon in front of a blue screen, and moved it by wires. You're sitting there wit nothing in front of you, just this wind blowing in your face and blue behind you, and the director says, 'OK, say 'Ahhh!' You have to pretend that it's all fun, but it's really boring."<br />
<br />
A more amusing memory of the film causes Oliver to break into a smile. "There was a scene where I was supposed to eat a sandwich, and I absolutely hate sandwiches! I will not eat a sandwich except a hamburger. That was the first problem," he explains, "The second problem was that I was supposed to take a bite and then say a line. Now, the first take, I took a bite, and chewed and chewed and chewed. After a whole lot of chews--because it was peanut butter, and you know how peanut butter is--everyone started laughing! Then, Wolfgang said, 'No, no, no! I know you're not supposed to talk with your mouth full, but do it anyway!" So, on the second take, I chewed for three or four chews, then went, "Mmm mm mmm..." trying to say my lines. We finally figured out a way to do it."<br />
<br />
After taking a ride on a luckdragon, Oliver shocked his dog Sparky to life in Frankenweenie, a theatrical short-feature directed by Tim Burton for Walt Disney Pictures. "I play a kid named Victor," Oliver explains, "His last name is Frankenstein. My pet dog dies and I bury him in a pet cemetery. Then, about a week later, our science teacher is teaching us how electricity works on the central nervous system, and how if you put electricity into a dead animal, it can move. Then, he says if you add even greater amounts, it can do even more. So, I get this idea, and I dig Sparky up from the ground...."<br />
<br />
Frankenweenie, which also stars actor/ directed Paul (Death Race 2000) Bartel as the definitely weird science teacher and Shelley (Popeye) Duvall and Daniel (War Thunder) Storm as Oliver's parents, has not been widely released. Nonetheless, this moving, yet tongue-in-cheek, remake of Mary Shelley's classic has drawn rave reviews. Oliver, for his part, enjoyed it tremendously, and began a good relationship with Duvall. "She was nice, and everybody said she was was real nice, too. As a matter of fact, she asked me if I would do a Faery Tale Theatre for her. She wants me really bad to do The Reluctant Dragon."<br />
<br />
These four characters--Bastian, Victor, Daryl and David, all share certain qualities in common: determination, intelligence, a sense of isolation and a feeling of being different. here may be a reason for this, beyond the scripts' requirements. Oliver takes his acting seriously, and explains that he tries to be the character when he is playing. "Everyone can do a character the way they want to do it, unless the director tells them not to, which isn't very common," he notes. "I like to do my characters, if it's not made specific in the script, as myself."<br />
<br />
Being a child actor, especially one with so many credits, mean being different from other children. Yet, Oliver feels very mature about his acting career. "I didn't start out with a spectacular movie," he says, "Many people think you don't have to go from nothing to the top, they think you can start at the top. I started with a commercial where I didn't even have any lines and six years later, look where I am. So, it takes a while."<br />
<br />
Barret Oliver doesn't even seem all that excited about what he does. "I think it's fun, but it really is a job. In D.A.R.Y.L., there was a part where I had to [?] to death, and they didn't even use it. It can get kind of frustrating. But I don't regret that I decided to become an actor. Besides, if I don't like acting at any time, I can stop."</div>

<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">The ChucksConnection :D.A.R.Y.L.:</span><br />
The film is well produced and the cast assembled are very believable in their roles, with special kudos going to Barret Oliver for his straightforwardly simple portrayal of a child who is half-human and half-machine.<br />
<br />

Barret Oliver's performance as Bastian still makes me cry. He speaks to that part of all of us that is not afraid to "do what we dream."<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">helpfulreviews.com: D.A.R.Y.L.:</span><br />
Barret Oliver, who plays DARYL, is one of the greatest child actors in my opinion.<br />
<br />
The film works so well because of the performance of Barret Oliver as D.A.R.Y.L. He gives the presence of the perfect, loving child.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">Space Voyager #14:</span><br />
These principal roles went to American actors, who are easier to accept as identification figures for teenagers in the States.<br />
<br />
For shy, timid Bastian the producers found Barret Oliver. Barret is a child-actor, who has already done more than a dozen movies and who often seems to be slightly overacting, but when the shots are developed they come out just right. His strength is an absolutely charming kind of naivete.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #330099; font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #000066;">From The Moving Picture Boy by John Holmstrom</span>:</span><br />
The brown-eyed Barret Oliver brought such passion and intensity to his gradual involvement in this confused moral fairytale(Neverending Story)-centered on a notably unappetizing Ivory Tower- that him became a hot property from now on.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">MovieActors.com:</span><br />
Barret Oliver (Cocoon), as Daryl, is a natural. His deadpan, robotic delivery on lines like, "It's extremely kind of you to be looking after my welfare like this" is cute without being obnoxious, sort of like a junior league Mr. Spock.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">www.film.com, John Hartl:</span><br />
Barret Oliver, the busiest child actor in movies these days, played the bookworm hero of The NeverEnding Story and the junior scientist in Frankenweenie, and he has a smaller but pivotal role in next week's lavish fantasy, Cocoon.<br />
<br />
This week he's really tested in D.A.R.Y.L., a likable but weakly plotted science-fiction piece that relies almost entirely on Oliver's ability to suggest the ingenuous nature of a child who's semi-human and semi-machine. He passes with flying colors, even if the movie can't stay away from the anti-government cliches perpetuated by far too many recent sci-fi movies.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">Cinemania, Roger Ebert Review, D.A.R.Y.L. :</span><br />
The boy is played by Barret Oliver with an earnest, touching solemnity.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">Z-Ride Young Actors Site:</span><br />
Barret was THE child actor of the 1980s and one of my all-time favorites. His sensative portrayal of a child android (years before Haley Joel Osment did it in A.I.) has helped make the film DARYL a classic.<br />
<br />

Barret's natural beauty is beyond description in this film!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">Kathy Amen's Movie Reviews:</span><br />
Oliver as Daryl is the center of almost every scene and he does a creditable job. He's a bit better as Daryl the exceptional child than as Daryl the real boy. But that's just as well, since he doesn't have to act like a real kid too often.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">Category - the Online Shopping Center:</span><br />
The three children actors are utterly outstanding - Noah Hathaway as the heroic and innocent Atreyu, Barret Oliver as the Bastian who manages to be hopeful and despairing at the same time, and the stunning Tami Stronach as the Child-Like Empress, who never fails to make an impression as Atreyu nervously approaches her in the Ivory Tower.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">I WANT MY DVD: This week's movie that belongs on DVD -- The Neverending Story:</span><br />
Bastian played by Barret Oliver, and Atreyu portrayed by Noah Hathaway. Oliver conveys the meekness that makes his character what he is, and Hathaway provides the strong performance that makes Atreyu everything that Bastian wants to be.<br />

<br />
1) How cute was Barret Oliver from let's say: 1980 to 1987?<br />
<br />
2) Now compare Barret Oliver to another child star you can find. So who's cuter?<br />
<br />
3) Now compare Barret Oliver to youself when you where about 10 years old. Who's cuter?<br />
<br />
4) Did Barret Oliver made a successful transition from being cute to being handsome when he reached age 13? It is the age kids become teenagers.<br />
<br />
I still admire him since I was a kid. Do you?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">IMDB users comments:</span><br />
This film is wonderful, I used to watch it like three times a week when I was a child. When you watch that film you see that Barret Oliver(who play Bastian) was truly a great actor and he did some of the most memorable 80s film ever.<br />
<br />
The only bad thing in this movie is the kid who plays ATREIU. Physically it might be perfect, but sometimes it almost hurts to see him act. Others he´s just fine. It´s a bit strange to watch. Maybe it wasn´t his fault. Anyway, I still think that they should have used the Barret Oliver who plays BASTIAN, because he really can act. Im sure he would be great if he played both parts.<br />
<br />
Barret Oliver carries the role of the Robot Boy out extremely well - his 'humanness' is excruciating.<br />
<br />
The one bright spark that lifts the film above the fair-to-average category is the performance of Barret Oliver as the eponymous DARYL. He plays the part with perfection, lending to the character the required nuances of calm observance, awkwardness and stiltedness. He is afterall a robot who observes and copies the behaviour he sees around him and it is Barret Oliver's performance above all else that raises this film from the mundane to the almost (but not quite) sublime. The planned spontaneity of his rebellious temper tantrum at the baseball game is delivered with absolute perfection, at that point and during some of the other scenes, where Barret is given pieces of extended dialogue, Barret isn't acting the part, he IS DARYL.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">Mendacity:</span><br />
Barret Oliver is so damn cute. The Neverending Story is on foxfam and i am using it as a procrastination tool. (I also mopped the rest of the apartment.) It's such a good, sad, scary movie, especially when you're a kid. Rockbiter is especially tragic. But most of all, Barret Oliver is so damn cute.<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden" /><input id="jsProxy" onclick="jsCall();" type="hidden" /><br />

<br />
In this delightful remake of the Brazilian film DOÑA FLOR AND HER TWO HUSBANDS, a widow, Kay (Sally Field), finally moves back into the home she left after her spouse?s death three years earlier, determined to let go of old memories of her popular, playful husband, Jolly (James Caan), and leap into her upcoming marriage to Rupert (Jeff Bridges), a stuffy Egyptologist. But the ghost of Jolly, who appears only to Kay, has something to say to her about remarrying, and Kay begins to have doubts about her future happiness just as everyone around her starts worrying about her sanity. Kay, Jolly, and Rupert develop an unlikely, otherworldly ménage à trois as the wedding inexorably approaches and forces Kay to decide where her heart belongs. The talented cast, guided by the light touch of director Robert Mulligan (SUMMER OF '42), dives lustily and wholeheartedly into the film's wonderfully cockeyed mix of romance, comedy, and the macabre.<br />

<br />
When a family moves to a suburban California neighborhood, everything is going great. The neighbors are nice, the neighborhood is clean, and there is a local health spa close to their house that everyone in the town belongs to. At first they consider joining it until there neighbors and co-workers hastle them constantly for not doing it right away. They start to get a little suspicous towards why they are so interested in them joining, but not the point where they think something is wrong. The wife and kids are up for it, but the dad is sceptical and fears a bit of evil in the spa. Is the dad just a little superstitous or is the spa really a Invitation to Hell?<br />

<br />
In FRANKENWEENIE, a dark but hilarious short, director Tim Burton creates an ode to James Whale's classic horror movie FRANKENSTEIN while commenting on what it's like to grow up in suburban America when there's something about you that's just not quite like everyone else. Victor (Barret Oliver), an average American kid, loves nothing more than his devoted dog. But when his dog is hit by a car and killed, Victor can only think of one solution to the problem: bring the canine back from the dead. Much to the dismay of Victor's parents (Shelly Duvall and Daniel Stern), and, eventually to the horror of their neighbors, the dead dog, alive again, is now a creepy monster covered in scars. Burton infuses the film with his own black humor and poignancy. Shot in black and white, FRANKENWEENIE evokes 1950s sitcoms like OZZIE AND HARRIET as much as it does 1930s monster movies.<br />

Escaping from a maximum security research facility, D.A.R.Y.L. (Data Analyzing Robot Youth Lifeform) is rescued and adopted by the Richardsons. Micheal McKean, Mary Beth Hurt, and young Danny Corkill as 'Turtle'. All is happily domestic until D.A.R.Y.L.'s "actual parents", two scientists, come to claim him. The Richardson's soon realize that their adopted son is more than flesh and blood, but complete with a microchip brain as well. He is taken away from the Richardsons, by a couple, who happen to be creators, posing as his parents, and he is taken back to the lab of his birth. From there, Daryl makes a run for his life from the maximum security facility to return to his beloved memory home of the Richardsons, using all his knowledge of mechanics, planes, and computers, and driven by a necessity for parental love.<br />

<br />
A group of senior citizens residing in a rest home find their lives turned upside down after they are offered the gift of eternal youth by benevolent aliens in Ron Howard's wonderful tribute to the human spirit. Brian Dennehy is Walter, an alien who returns to earth to rescue 20 of his friends now hibernating in cocoons off the coast of Florida. With the help of a charter boat captain (Steve Guttenberg), the cocoons are stored in a deserted swimming pool. When three men from a nearby retirement village (the charming Don Ameche, Wilford Brimley, and Hume Cronyn) sneak into the pool for a swim, they discover what seem to be oversized oystershells in the water. Suddenly they feel physically and spiritually rejuvenated, believing they've found the long elusive Fountain of Youth. The men's frisky behavior causes something of a controversy in the retirement village as residents are forced to choose between a second youth or accepting the more natural aging process. The ensemble cast of experienced actors, including Ameche, Brimley, and Cronyn as well as Cronyn's real-life wife, Jessica Tandy; Maureen Stapleton; Gwen Verdon; and the skeptical Jack Gilford all bring a dignity to the film?s youthful, spirited theme. COCOON, one of the best films of the 1980s, is a heartwarming story that should be treasured for generations.<br />

<br />
Based on Frances Hodgson Burnett's timeless tale, about a lonely orphan's life and how it is changed forever when she turns an abandoned garden into a world of splendor, discovering its magic, unlocking its mysteries and revealing the secret of happiness. When a spoiled English girl living in 19th century India loses both parents in a plague, she is sent back to England to live in a rural mansion. The lord is a strange old man-- frail and deformed, immensely kind but so melancholy. She wishes to discover what has caused him so much sorrow and to bring joy back to the household. It all must have something to do with the screams and wails which echo through the house at night and no one wants to talk about.<br />

In director Daniel Petrie's sequel to the smash hit COCOON, the retirees who chose to leave earth to live forever return home for a temporary visit with their loved ones while their alien escorts attempt to rescue a cocoon dislodged by a pesky oceanographer (Courteney Cox). Don Ameche is back as Art Selwyn, with his friends Ben Luckett (Wilford Brimley) and Joe Finley (Hume Cronyn) and their wives, Bess (Gwen Verdon), Mary (Maureen Stapleton), and Alma (Jessica Tandy). They rediscover the value of human emotion and the fragility of their own lives as they visit with their old friends and remember what it's like to live on earth. As the group of friends reconsider what life would be like if they returned permanently, they shop, party, and make some miraculous discoveries about the future of their relationships. Before they decide whether to stay on Earth or return to space, they must help their alien escort Kitty (Tahnee Welch) rescue an alien cocoon from the hands of the government, with the help of her old friend Jack Bonner (Steve Guttenberg). Once again the elderly friends must debate whether to stay or to go and consider whether it is better to die surrounded by the people one loves or live forever, separated from family and friends. This charming sequel features delightful ensemble acting from its fine cast of stars, including Elaine Stritch and Jack Gilford in dynamite supporting roles.<br />

alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250441874062110642" border="0" /></a>Many fans still wonder and ask around the same old question, <span style="font-style: italic;">"where is he nowadays?"</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">"what is he doing nowadays?"</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">"do you have any recent pics or info about him?"</span><br /><br />To put their questions to rest, and hopefully give these fans a little more sleep at night, here's some general information that has appeared on the web regarding what Barret has been doing these days. And hopefully, these facts will dislodge some of the more disrespectful rumors that float about, so an info page about his whereabouts nowadays dosn't appear to be too harmful to his "legend persona" and in any case should put to rest the rumors.<br /><br />On the side here is some basic FAQ about his recent activity, remember, this is not always 100 percent accurate, it's not endorsed by Barret, his family, or his agents. These are simply the most credible facts that have appeared on the internet last year, so it dosn't assure that they are absolutely correct.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102); font-family: verdana;font-size:130%;">Do you have any recent pics of Barret?</span><br /><br />I choose not to post them out of respect. But recent pictures do exist and have proliferated all over the internet. The easiest place to find them is at the Barret Oliver Fanclub (on the homepage), but you need to sign up for the group. You can also find recent pictures of Oliver on Flickr (just search for "Barret Oliver Recent Photos"). But please note, he is very different in his appearance than he was as a young man. In the pictures, he wears glasses and has a full beard. He's an accomplished photography scholar now, so please be respectful and have an open mind.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you don't want to do that, I'm sure by now you can find recent pics just by doing an image search for "Barret Oliver recent pictures."<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102); font-family: verdana;font-size:130%;">Do you have any info about what Barret's doing these days?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102); font-family: verdana;">What is fact...</span><br /><br />Yes. This is where I can help you. It is a well known fact on many Barret fan sites, and Barret info movie pages that he is currently working as a photography instructor and a professional photographer. As of February 2004 according to the IMDb (Internet Movie Database):<br /><br /><blockquote><span style="font-style: italic;">"He teaches photography in Los Angeles, Calafornia. After learning the 19th Century Wet Plate Process from artist Stephan Berkman and studying with master photographers Cole Westin and George Tice, Barret's print work has been part of numerous gallery and museum exhibitions. He has also done Wet Plate process in Ireland for a recent Guiness commercial and in Romania for the motion picture Cold Mountain. In addition, he has writen articles on photography and contributed to demonstrations and workshops." </span></blockquote><br />Most recently, Oliver has been teaching photography classes in Los Angeles, and some of his photographic works have been put in galleries and exhibitions. He is respected for his knowledge of 19th century photography techniques and has written a book called <span style="font-style: italic;">"A History of Woodburytype: The First Successful Photochemical Printing Process and Walter Bentley Woodbury." (2007)</span><br /><br />He was also involved in the wet plate photography for the movie Cold Mountain. He is one of the 10 featured emerging photographers in the 2007 Silverstein Photography Annual (SPA).<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102); font-style: italic; font-family: verdana;">What is "truthy" (Confirmed, but not necessarily fact):</span><br /><br />A while back, a Barret fan went to his photo exhibition, spoke to him and shook his hand. He didn't tell Barret he was a fan, nor did they discuss his acting career or movies.<br /><br />As for his artwork, they are all monochrome, and the subjects are hard to depict, except for a couple of female nudes. They are described as being modern art.<br /><br />Barret's physical description: He has a full beard, wears glasses and has long hair. They said his voice was recognizable, he wasn't really tall, and spoke quietly. To add, he also smiled after a couple of drinks.<br /><br />He certainly seems to be happy and content in his field, a delight to all Barret fans. Let's continue to simply record the basis of his legend, and make it live on, as the other Barret sites have done.</div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com28tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4634565268371115261.post-23139833844014604732008-09-26T13:50:00.000-07:002012-08-17T20:47:01.786-07:00Barret's Departure and Legacy<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<br />
Some say he was the most talented child-actors of the 80s, who was on his way to become a major Hollywood player, and inevitable multi-millionaire. But after only 3 years of stardom, something changed and he pulled one of the greatest disappearing acts in movie history, never to come back.<br />
<br />
Barret Spencer Oliver was born in LA on August 24 1973. When a family-friend connected to the Biz "plugged" his big brother Kyle, in the late 70's, little Ollie decided on his own that he too wanted to be on the telly! Appearances in commercials (especially for Jell-O with The Coz) quickly led to juvenile guest parts in TV shows, like "Battlestar Gallactica" and "Knight Rider."<br />
<br />
In 1982 alone, he was on the big screen in 3 different movies, before competing with 200 boys for a little fantasy movie called "The Neverending Story." Rejected for signs of immaturity, he was re-called 6 months later, when no suitable young man could be found, this time performing a knock out audition for director Wolfgang Petersen.<br />
<br />
The film was released in 1984, and young Oliver was fast becoming an international star. His increased exposure put him in the path of another former child-sensation, director Ron Howard (sometimes known as Opie). Howard was casting for 'Cocoon' when he saw "Neverending story", and quickly cast this younger version of himself as the movie's only child among a cast of geriatrics. In many promotional interviews, he spoke warmly of his bond with the director, and how he was taken under his wing. "Cocoon" was an instant heartwarming classic that even picked up 2 Oscars.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxkqrz4K5N-bn5DVl_quihL6GHPtoZrj2fzYmX11E0rutGZ3d5SDSS_BKlCjNCgWUtM569aLTIG2anmYoqNepbT5EWkk9Hc0XYtLWvjJUU3uF4RHYZSnwRLFsCRp6f-Ghf3AbJu6kQovVz/s1600-h/bo-xx-02.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250438184356802530" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxkqrz4K5N-bn5DVl_quihL6GHPtoZrj2fzYmX11E0rutGZ3d5SDSS_BKlCjNCgWUtM569aLTIG2anmYoqNepbT5EWkk9Hc0XYtLWvjJUU3uF4RHYZSnwRLFsCRp6f-Ghf3AbJu6kQovVz/s400/bo-xx-02.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 324px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 215px;" /></a>His already hot status made him an easy choice for a much-anticipated sci-fi project called "D.A.R.Y.L.", in 1985. Despite a deceiving tenure at the box-office, the movie, about a cybernetic child trying to fit in with a human family, generated the highest acclaims for Barret. Ironically, the experience left him with a bitter taste, and signaled a change of heart over his acting career. Not that he became arrogant or developed an oversized ego, but he realized, according to some of his cast mates, that child actors are seen, by director and adult actors, only as a tool for easy-money, and treated as such. The fact that becoming a teenager eroded his child-like cuteness only deepened the feeling.<br />
<br />
Now at 12, the young man decided to concentrate mainly on school, and started to refuse offers. He did return for a sequel to "Cocoon" (a lousy attempt to cash-in on the original's success), in 1988. The very next year, he would show audiences another side of himself. In "Scenes From The Class Struggle In Beverly Hills", starring Jacqueline Bisset, he plays a terminally ill teen that gets to fulfill his sexual fantasies. Whether he liked the role or not, it would be his last ever acting performance. After that, he completely vanished, without even a message to his fans, or an interview to explain why.<br />
<br />
Such a complete and abrupt disappearance gave way to a wide variety of wild and persistent rumors, giving the young man a mythical status. Some said that he fell into drug-related problems, others that he got into a cult (his father is said to be a Scientologist) and was subsequently brainwashed. Some tabloids even reported his involvement in some grizzly murder case.<br />
<br />
Not once did Barrett emerge to confirm or deny these rumors, or even give a clue on his whereabouts. An anonymous Internet poster, claiming association with him, stated a few years ago that he wanted his legend to live on, and so allowed false reports to continue.<br />
<br />
The first CONFIRMED update on his life came in early 2004. According to IMDb, Barret Oliver<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEqUqbWQFZw5lVz4Ayys83jvDyd-xyxkujM3ciSrozklALnCHvygHUd3ruNCDtBt_rM9vgYLzt81NdW8DXPVDEIh1GHSapfcFdzqKVJ2Qq_w8cEFQ3aDCLNUCKSTAKat3bjbPkUyoi2PgP/s1600-h/bocandids2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250438625832709778" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEqUqbWQFZw5lVz4Ayys83jvDyd-xyxkujM3ciSrozklALnCHvygHUd3ruNCDtBt_rM9vgYLzt81NdW8DXPVDEIh1GHSapfcFdzqKVJ2Qq_w8cEFQ3aDCLNUCKSTAKat3bjbPkUyoi2PgP/s400/bocandids2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 291px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 235px;" /></a> is now a Photography teacher in California, and one of the last disciples of the 19th Century "Wet Plate" photo technique. He apparently holds workshops and demonstrations about the craft, and has even written articles on the subject. One fan who visited his photo exhibition in California wrote on a fansite that "He has a full beard, wears glasses and has long hair. His voice was recognizable, he wasn't really tall, and spoke quietly."<br />
<br />
Whatever happened to him? He simply left, and doesn't show any signs of regrets or desire to come back. But if he ever did, would his fans forgive him for neglecting them so nonchalantly?<br />
<br />
By the way, he was mistakenly thought to have committed suicide in 2003. Many people confused him with the star of the SECOND "Neverending Story", Jonathan Brandis, who did take his own life last year, at the age of 27.</div>

<br />

The adult actors, the directors and so on often are not very friendly to children, because a child is only a thing to make easy money and nothing more. Only a few directors see children as real persons. The first trouble Barret had was after making the movie D.A.R.Y.L.. In interviews, he suggested that "he can stop any time he wants" if acting was no longer in him. In 1989 Barret had finally had enough and he decided to leave the movie industry.<br />
<br />
The reasons behind this are no doubt personal due to added pressures in his life. One can only speculate. It might have been something as simple as a loss of interest, or something as personal as disgruntlement with the politics of the industry. Whatever the reason, he decided to pursue other interests that have obviously sustained him well and have probably been for the best. </div>

<br />
<br />
Barret was born on 24th August 1973 (a Friday) in the Los Angeles area of California. His parents were Kent and Kathy Oliver - Kent was an interior designer. There was no family connection with the entertainment industry, but Kent and Kathy already had one son, Kyle, then aged 2. Though little information is available about Barret's early years, it is generally accepted that he attended the Los Feliz (private) School - also sometimes called the Apple School - and continued to live in the LA area throughout his acting career. He may still be there.<br />
<br />
In the late 1970's, a friend of the Oliver family with Hollywood connections introduced Kyle to the movie business, where he soon achieved some modest success in juvenile roles. At once Barret - on his own initiative - declared that he too would like to venture on to the screen. His first appearances were in a number of commercials, and this led to small roles in TV productions such as Battlestar Galactica and The Incredible Hulk.<br />
<br />

There was also a well-developed character-part for him in the pilot episode of Knight Rider for TV, and in a further pilot for The Circle Family which did not evolve into the expected series. He was already a busy actor, though not yet 10 years old! During the Fall of the same year, he was one of 200 American boys to audition for the role of 'Bastian' in the imminent production of The Neverending Story, to be directed by Wolfgang Petersen. Barret made a strong impression, but was initially rejected on the grounds of being too young and immature for the role.<br />
<br />
By March 1983, however, the casting directors for The <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1qYiCW46kTupVi2v-xm71mLhVi-KfD8IFbh5vH8qx0Ve11CZLZNNV1du67Rexoyxon0E7_EsCkoTjM6bwff9158FISCg8D3W2Cenz0OPz_quMB9rUxTrdbwIl7fgr2GhLBRJEVPAiRrH8/s1600-h/whobarret.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250092370864621746" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1qYiCW46kTupVi2v-xm71mLhVi-KfD8IFbh5vH8qx0Ve11CZLZNNV1du67Rexoyxon0E7_EsCkoTjM6bwff9158FISCg8D3W2Cenz0OPz_quMB9rUxTrdbwIl7fgr2GhLBRJEVPAiRrH8/s400/whobarret.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 236px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 248px;" /></a>Neverending Story had still not found their ideal 'Bastian', and Barret was called to re-audition. The agents were amazed that he had matured so much in a few months (they thought he was his older brother!), and they were impressed by the confidence and intensity with which he read the scene with Bastian in conversation with Koreander, though he had declined the chance of a practice run. It happened that Petersen was in LA at that time for the Oscar presentations. So it was arranged that Barret should meet Petersen in a lounge at LA airport - Petersen's Lufthansa flight was delayed so that the meeting could take place. Barret was immediately confirmed in the 'Bastian' role, and shooting began in Munich only a few weeks later. The seed of the Barret legend was planted in an airport lounge!<br />
<br />
The Neverending Story was filmed in Munich during the spring and (hot) summer of 1983, and premiered in Germany in April 1984. Barret's powerful contribution to the success of this movie brought him a measure of international stardom, and it is still regarded as a classic. However, at just this time Tim Burton was planning his first live-action movie under the Disney banner. This was to be Frankenweenie, a spoof of (but also loving tribute to) the Gothic horror genre. The lead role was that of a young boy who uses Frankensteinian techniques to resuscitate his beloved dog, killed in a traffic accident. Burton was keen to cast Barret in this part, and the movie was shot in a few weeks in the early summer of 1984. Once it was completed, however, Disney lost the courage to release it, though it is now regarded as a minor classic, and is widely available.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggQ59IYOCrEX5BOwKX1Ar_4Y1EzbDmHAN9_BVyRlHzz_wI9omQI7COFtp-C0tJO23ixPbSyyEOshYEdKl16Ov0aYlCKXUkUR-RYUWnd-VmO3pEkHlMifHwzx0jxEiQ0eJp_vb7AkaMXyQc/s1600-h/whobarret3.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250092684009793826" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggQ59IYOCrEX5BOwKX1Ar_4Y1EzbDmHAN9_BVyRlHzz_wI9omQI7COFtp-C0tJO23ixPbSyyEOshYEdKl16Ov0aYlCKXUkUR-RYUWnd-VmO3pEkHlMifHwzx0jxEiQ0eJp_vb7AkaMXyQc/s400/whobarret3.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 225px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 214px;" /></a>Thus Barret was at that time denied the acclaim due to him for a further fine performance in a lead role. Yet in that same year he also featured in Wes Craven's Invitation To Hell, in the Highway To Heaven episode To Touch the Moon, and in the Finder Of Lost Loves episode Portraits. These were minor productions, but Barret had a major role in each of them, and his performances - especially in the latter two - confirmed his status as an important and reliably sensitive juvenile actor. The camera was clearly Barret's friend, and he could appeal to an audience profoundly without sentimentality or cuteness.<br />
<br />
Barret was not short of screen work at this time. He spent the late summer of 1984 in Florida, filming the role of 'David' in Cocoon under the direction of Ron Howard. Barret plays this role to perfection, but he himself was quick to acknowledge his debt to Howard's directorial assistance. The 'David' character is central to the movie's storyline, appearing in both the first and last scene, and Barret also had the chance to learn from working with a cast of former Hollywood stars. Yet Barret's career was developing further even while Cocoon was being shot. He had been shortlisted for the title role of Daryl in D.A.R.Y.L., and he was flown to New York during the Cocoon shoot to confirm him in this role.<br />
<br />
Filming for D.A.R.Y.L. started in January 1985 - the first scene to be shot was Daryl's and Turtle's first day at school. There were location shoots in Florida, North Carolina, and France, while the technical scenes were completed at Pinewood studios near London, England, in March 1985. The movie opened in June of that year, and critical reaction was mixed. The movie itself was regarded as enjoyable, but less meaningful in the context of its human/android theme than had been hoped; yet Barret's playing of the title role was universally regarded as a masterpiece of juvenile acting. It remains so, yet the limited commercial success of the movie resulted in Barret once again receiving less than the deserved recognition. He and his family paid their only visit to Japan at this time, to promote D.A.R.Y.L., and there was considerable worlwide interest in the movie. There are also rumors that a sequel to D.A.R.Y.L. had been planned, but the plans were subsequently dropped - such decisions hang as always on financial considerations.<br />
<br />
Barret's next appearance was in the <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLYpNiJ1q7gEH3H0_Sr0vgn0mi7389a6L9aFQG1qyv7OpkeUBdm_xjP4XngnmdMivusjRBLxRfHBfvn4nhfLhZuFYVO8wqaGL104U_PY_lI83yCFW869Fr-01QAkjePOEyEKSiVAiaLY9k/s1600-h/whobarret4.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250092923780172178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLYpNiJ1q7gEH3H0_Sr0vgn0mi7389a6L9aFQG1qyv7OpkeUBdm_xjP4XngnmdMivusjRBLxRfHBfvn4nhfLhZuFYVO8wqaGL104U_PY_lI83yCFW869Fr-01QAkjePOEyEKSiVAiaLY9k/s400/whobarret4.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 188px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 327px;" /></a>Shelley Duval production of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow in her Tall Tales and Legends series for TV. His role here - though not his playing of it - is unworthy of his status at this point in his career. At the end of the year (1985) he returned to the realm of Sci-Fi in Gramma, an episode of The New Twilight Zone based on a Stephen King story. Here Barret was on screen for the entire episode, and also did the voice-overs, but the low production values in NTZ prevented Barret's efforts from making much critical impression. In 1986, however, he moved on to his last feature-length role as a juvenile actor in Disney's lightweight comedy-crime-spoof Spot Marks The X. Here at last Barret was able to play the part of a normal, well-balanced, good-humored American youth, and he clearly reveled in the opportunity.<br />
<br />
Henceforth Barret, his voice now changed, took on 'teenage' rather than juvenile roles. In 1987 he returned to England to shoot The Secret Garden with a galaxy of British stars that included Sir Michael Hordern and Sir Derek Jacobi. The casting of an American in the role of Dickon Sowerby, an English rustic lad, is open to question, but Barret performed manfully, giving the part a wistful twist. Next, after completing an episode in the Hooperman series, he was recalled in 1998 for a reprise of the Cocoon theme in Cocoon 2: The Return, but by this time his natural charm and confidence in front of a camera was less conspicuous, and he lacked the support of a Ron Howard. In 1989 he was asked by Paul Bartel to take on the role of 'Willie Saravian' in Scenes from the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills. Here Barret broke new ground - he played a diseased teenager with sexual fantasies that are fulfilled late one night by the swimming-pool!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfgF8VmqBNYk9_3Rf9hsC5jfGcTG5xkdDhgnmwdPvz9Bw0JEE-KjzvjsO3JTMsexqQxREoDPaSYKWkOFa3mGkLraV9BHmyTZqgtCYNucesEQ6BnJZxP2RyglsErEEFVY70oHAKlUKoNfG2/s1600-h/bocandids2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250093174318937906" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfgF8VmqBNYk9_3Rf9hsC5jfGcTG5xkdDhgnmwdPvz9Bw0JEE-KjzvjsO3JTMsexqQxREoDPaSYKWkOFa3mGkLraV9BHmyTZqgtCYNucesEQ6BnJZxP2RyglsErEEFVY70oHAKlUKoNfG2/s400/bocandids2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 306px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 246px;" /></a>Barret may or may not have enjoyed that role, but it turned out to be his last. Rumors are rife - not least on the Internet - about his subsequent activities. Like so many former child stars, he is said to have had 'personal problems', though his parents perhaps helped him through them; the nature of these problems is the subject of pure speculation. He is said to have become active in Scientology, though the only evidence of this is that his father still advertises himself as a Scientologist. He is said to have become a welder, helping in building sets for 'Titanic' exhibitions, and to have studied photo-journalism at Valley College in LA. None of these suggestions has been substantiated, and recent efforts (involving the present writer) to trace Barret have ended in complete failure. Barret elected to leave the movie industry, but, as far as his fans are concerned, he also emigrated from planet Earth. Such a deep-seated desire for privacy in a different lifestyle must be respected.<br />
<br />
There is one further rumor worth recording. Somewhere on the Net, a few years ago, someone claiming distant contact with the Oliver family expressed the view that Barret had no interest in his fans, would not contact them, and would simply like his legend to live on. Well, the legend does persist, and the fact is due to Barret's own enormous talent, charm, and appeal in all he recorded for our entertainment. This site simply records the basis of that legend, together with the hope that it will continue to live on -- and that Barret is content wherever he may be.</div>

<br />
Remember that cute little tyke in The Neverending Story? And the charming little boy who loved everything about animals and nature in The Secret Garden? What about young "David Green" who watched his grandparents go off on a voyage to another planet in the film Cocoon?<br />
<br />
All those movie boys-who tugged oh-so-gently at your hearstrings!!-were played to perfection by brown-eyed Barret Oliver, and you'll be happy to know that you can see this adorable actor at your local movie theater right this very minute in Cocoon: The Return!<br />
<br />
Yes, the now 15-year-old Barret is portraying a teenaged "David Green" and now "David," has to deal with his grandparents and those friendly aliens all over again! For "David," this may be a perplexing problem for Barret...well, it's all in a day's work!<br />
<br />
When this gorgeous 5'8'', 120 pound hunk isn't working, you can find him at home in La Crescenta, California, with his dad Kent (an interior designer), his mom Kathy, (she manags Barret's carrer) and older brother Kyle, 18, who started all this in the first place! Barret tried acting only because his brother was already in the business. These days Kyle has leftacting, while Barret is creating quite a name for himself in the field!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzjl-ImdB0zC5Y8ULXhVZarrVjxJgmOAqwd0z9rYauUdxEmHQTHb6aiUhm5FtduMVcjiPmekypSChGoHNOjnhoIElKek576-ypRTQ5jvW7gDgyyyDfbQJzbU0fzyeylWl2uagGeDebFaX1/s1600-h/bohunkshot.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249758854199968002" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzjl-ImdB0zC5Y8ULXhVZarrVjxJgmOAqwd0z9rYauUdxEmHQTHb6aiUhm5FtduMVcjiPmekypSChGoHNOjnhoIElKek576-ypRTQ5jvW7gDgyyyDfbQJzbU0fzyeylWl2uagGeDebFaX1/s400/bohunkshot.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 270px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 180px;" /></a>And speaking of fields, that's where you're likely to find Barret-rounding up the five family cats that roam around outdoor! 'Course Barret's dog Rita keeps track of them too and she especially likes to keep an eye on Barret when he's building his model planes and cars!! Catch Barret alone, and he'll probably be reading a sci-fi book or talking on the phone with friends. His favorite kind of girlfriend is the smart kind and he loves taking dates to a movie or play followed by a yummy Japanese dinner!<br />
<br />
'Course an evening of great music suits him just fine too, so if you want to spend time with this Cocoon cutie, bring along your Talking Heads and Echo & the Bunnymen LP's! Meanwhile, catch this doll in Cocoon: The Return and let him know how you liked it by dropping him a line.</div>

<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">JULY 10th, 2002</span> <span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;"> <br /><br /> BARRET OLIVER, WE SALUTE YOU! </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The truth is, folks, we didn't wanna do a salute of Barret Oliver, but upon learning certain facts, we felt that a.) it was our duty to inform the public of them, and b.) he'd harm us if we didn't. Sure, we all thought he was cute in Neverending Story, and Cocoon, and maybe some of us thought he was endearing as the robot/little boy in D.A.R.Y.L.<br />
<br />
But what they didn't tell you about D.A.R.Y.L. is that it wasn't fiction. It wasn't even science fiction. BARRET OLIVER IS A SECRET GOVERNMENT KILLING ROBOT. Just like in the movie.<br />
<br />
So, if you should encounter Barret Oliver, do not make eye contact - the D.A.R.Y.L. series are programmed to see this as a sign of hostility - but rather, pass him casually, and run quickly to a safe place as soon as he's passed.<br />
<br />
If you have information which would help the authorities apprehend this former child star, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF. There's nothing the kill-bots hate more than a snitch.<br />
If you want a biography, go somewhere else, pal. This is just a salute.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">The Neverending Story (1984)</span><br />
<br />
Pretty cool stuff. And fairly family-friendly, considering the star is a GOVERNMENT-BUILT KILLING MACHINE!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">Cocoon (1985)</span><br />
<br />
What was Ron Howard thinking? Putting all those defenseless old people (Brimley, Ameche, Cronyn, etc.) in the path of the ruthless killing destructor that is Barret Oliver?! I can understand putting Guttenberg, and maybe even Tahnee Welch in D.A.R.Y.L.'s crosshairs, but the Old Folks? And Dennehy? What's wrong with you, Opie?!<br />
<br />
"Listen! And understand! That D.A.R.Y.L. is out there. It can't be bargained with! It can't be reasoned with! It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. It dosen't care about you or abide by the law, it will not look away, and it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead!"</div>

Barret Oliver's not a headliner yet, but at fifteen he's getting there with Cocoon: The Return, playing a kid caught up in an alien encounter. Three years ago he was in the original Cocoon. "It feels as if I've never left off," he says while on location in Miami, Florida, waiting to do a scene with Wilford Brimley and Courteny Cox.<br />
<br />
Oliver's spent half his life acting but hasn't yet decided on his future career. (He also likes to fly.) "Everyone thinks you get some big break," he remarks, "but as I remember, I just said, 'Hey, Mom, I want to be an actor.' She had a friend whose son was acting. We went over to his agenct and signed up, and then I started doing TV commercials."</div>

<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">Meet Barret Oliver, He's the Out-of-this-world star of Cocoon: The Return!</span><br />
<br />
Remember the name Barret Oliver because you're bound to be hearing it a lot in the years to come. Barret has already starred in a long list of hit flicks and popular TV shows, and you can currenty see him in the out-of-this world new movie, Cocoon: The Return.<br />
<br />
So if you haven't already been property introduced to one of the Hollywood's hottest new teen stars, then it's about time you were! TEEN BEAT has all the latest on this adorable up-and-comer right here and just for you!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">Barret on Screen!</span><br />
<br />
Teen fans may recognize 14-years-old Barret from his guest appearences on TV shows like The Incredible Hulk, Battlestar Galactica, Knight Rider and Highway to Heaven. But Barret's also had plenty of experience being larger-than-life on the silver screen. His early film roles included parts in the Disney short Frankenweenie and the romantic comedy Kiss Me Goodbye. Barret's larger parts include the young hero of the exciting fairy tale The Neverending Story and a one-of-a-kind boy with a microcomputer brain in the sci-fi adventure flick D.A.R.Y.L.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">Cocoon, Again!</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-0fE3GZSrIuPaYbDohCHxdMWB9NmGEt8agrFeIrGa3qjRWIdsQTIWv4mpSnJf0vw-e8JTEg-IHDWcktBrm41texgEtSXBlLFK4W9jHk1ZkaKHxoz7kiveXMyGei6nPLBFHUkUX-TRSQks/s1600-h/cadillac.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249754401398628034" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-0fE3GZSrIuPaYbDohCHxdMWB9NmGEt8agrFeIrGa3qjRWIdsQTIWv4mpSnJf0vw-e8JTEg-IHDWcktBrm41texgEtSXBlLFK4W9jHk1ZkaKHxoz7kiveXMyGei6nPLBFHUkUX-TRSQks/s400/cadillac.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;" /></a>Of all his many TV shows and films, Barret's biggest hit so far has to be the original Cocoon, in which he played a young boy named David Green. At the end of that movie, Barret's grandparents (played by Our House's Wilford Brimley and Maureen Stapleton) decided to leave the planet earth with a group of friendly aliens and travel to another world where they could live forever. But the story doesn't end there! Movie audiences are getting to find out what happened next now that Barret and the original Cocoon stars are back on screen in the thrill-a-minute sequel, Cocoon: the Return!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">Barret at Home!</span><br />
<br />
With all the success he's had, you might think that Barret would have a swollen haed, but nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, this rising star is as typical a teenager as you would ever expect to meet. For starters, Barret lives at home with his parents and his older brother Kyle. Although acting is his first love, show biz isn't the only thing in always-on-the-go Barret's life. When he isn't working on a new role or going to regular school, Barret enjoys working on models, especially model airplanes! It sounds like Barret will be flyin' high for a long time to come!<br />

It seems his performance as a boy robot looking for a family was undoubtedly his best role he ever played.<br />
<br />
Other award nominations fell under the young artists awards. Two were for supporting roles in T.V. series, and two were for his two major movie roles, as D.A.R.Y.L. and as Bastian with Noah Hathaway in The Never Ending Story. The Family Circle was a proposed sitcom with Barret, but never made it passed the pilot.<br />

<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">Article from: Pop/Rocky (1986)</span><br />
<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">Translated by Duoboleti</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Wheather in the fantasy-film "The Neverending Story", in "Cocoon", or in his latest role "DARYL", the 13-year-old barret oliver is convincing in each film-role. "Pop/Rocky" visited the successful young actor in his parents' home in the USA and took a look into the exciting life of a "Performer Family."<br />
<br />
It is Saturday afternoon, and Barret Oliver, who has grown a fair bit since the days of "The Neverending Story", and has become visibly more confident, opens the front door for us. "Hey, you've come while I'm in the middle of painting my room, but that doesn't matter". Of the three principal actors of "The Neverending Story", Barret is the only one who has been working continuously since then. That is also the reason that this interview takes place on a Saturday afternoon. During the week, Barret is already making his next film "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", an American fairy-tale.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">Mother Kathy accompanies Barret to the film-set!</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmpyoc4T9iJweCi0KSkEfKHPlKS-BngejPIkUyXE5aJGWjIC4HZuSmVzlQpYnHwJFWXficjLL59K_mcVIryknNSlks2Q0cdF-yDdbEgFhaWGa_8y1V-PYaMNpyOh4JK_l_n-T1_dAZUabl/s1600-h/bo-popr4.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249729858941707570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmpyoc4T9iJweCi0KSkEfKHPlKS-BngejPIkUyXE5aJGWjIC4HZuSmVzlQpYnHwJFWXficjLL59K_mcVIryknNSlks2Q0cdF-yDdbEgFhaWGa_8y1V-PYaMNpyOh4JK_l_n-T1_dAZUabl/s400/bo-popr4.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;" /></a>Barret is much in demand and successful. "We have all worked hard at it", his mother Kathy tells us. "It involves everyone in the family. Whenever Barret makes a movie, his father Kent and his brother Kyle must cope alone, while Barret and I hang around in hotel rooms." It was like that too with the film D.A.R.Y.L., which is showing at the moment in German cinemas. Barret filmed for three months in Florida, South Carolina and London. While he was involved in the movie-making, he also had three hours of school-work each day on his schedule.<br />
<br />
"An [exciting?] time ", mother Kathy says, "Barret needed a long break after it so as to become a normal boy again. However, this was not at all easy to do, as "Cocoon" soon arrived in the cinemas -- the telephone rang constantly, and many new film-offers arrived at the house.<br />
<br />
Barret is a [sensible] boy, despite his self-confidence, and he finds film-work tremendous fun. "What I like most is that I meet so many interesting people. Travel is also good fun. I've already been to Germany six times. Only the hanging-around during shooting is [unpleasant]. First, they rush you --'Hurry up, we need you for the next scene!'-- but then I have to wait<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">How did it all actually get started?</span><br />
<br />
"A friend of the family worked as [photo-agent?] and thought that our older son Kyle, who was then 6 years old, would be suitable as a model and should [put himself forward].<br />
<br />
As a result Kyle made promotional films, and it was tremendous fun for him. When Barret became 6 years old, he wanted to be like his big brother and begged: "Daddy, can I be an actor too?", says his father Kent, who works as an interior-designer.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">Brother Kyle is envious of Barret's success</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh46DUccqAogZN5t3z0Dbu9JmNLkNkXNof9EMiK92pkN06SL2WV0tVytS0LHXKJE7nZcJCGUqDHH-JY-PQR8lbqpPMnaf6cmYgOsaM8R9lcKeXqes_JU1PjY40O6T11K_kk1xLMC7xqBAS8/s1600-h/bomagazines12.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249730007695813874" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh46DUccqAogZN5t3z0Dbu9JmNLkNkXNof9EMiK92pkN06SL2WV0tVytS0LHXKJE7nZcJCGUqDHH-JY-PQR8lbqpPMnaf6cmYgOsaM8R9lcKeXqes_JU1PjY40O6T11K_kk1xLMC7xqBAS8/s400/bomagazines12.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 242px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 324px;" /></a>In a very short time, Barret was much more successful than his older brother. For the 15-year-old Kyle, the present-day situation is not at all easy. He is a bit envious and would also like to make feature films and be in the middle of things. "I'm not so interested in acting," Kyle claims, "I would prefer to become a director."<br />
<br />
Barret confesses he has no especially close relationship with his brother. "Sometimes we understand each other very well, but generally we don't. I am happy by myself and play with my robot-figures." Barret eagerly fetches models and books from his room to show us. "In school" adds Barret "Mathematics and Science are my favorites. On the other hand, I hate English", he grins. "But luckily there is no school today, otherwise I could never get my room decorated."<br />

<br />
<br />
They know there is something odd about the kid when he starts doing his own laundry. That's not natural for a grade-schooler. Daryl has some other strange attributes. He is unfailingly polite, obsessively honest, and bats 1.000 in Little League. Finally his friend, Turtle, pulls him aside and explains that adults don't like it when a kid is too perfect. It makes them nervous. They need to connect with him so they can relax around him. Daryl nods gravely, and his next time at bat he strikes out.<br />
<br />
Daryl's history is stramge, he was discovered by the side of the road, a neatly dresses little boy with amnesia. He is placed with a foster family, and by halfway through the move D.A.R.Y.L. he is begginning to develope into a more typical kid, with real human emotions. That is against the game plan, unfortunately, because Daryl is both more and less than human. He is a prototype of a secret government attempt to combine a computer brain with a genetically cloned body, creating a humanoid who can use his five senses as input for his silicon mind.<br />
<br />
D.A.R.Y.L. is sort of Charly in reverse. Instead of a retarded man who is allowed through science, to have a brief glimpse of what it would be like to be normal, what we have here is a super-intelligent thinking machine who gets a taste of being a real little boy. It is an intriguing premise, and the movie handles it with skill. The boy is played by Barret Oliver with an earnest, touching, solemnity. The people around him (including Mary Beth Hurt and Michael Mckean) are out of a Norman Rockwell drawing, laving, generous, loyal. His best friend Turtle (Daniel Corkill) is tactful in trying to get this odd kid to act normal.<br />
<br />
Tacked onto this small-town story, the details of the intrigue seem almost unnecessary. The movie contains the usual hard-nosed military men, visionary scientists, and officious cops. They've lost track of their expensive D.A.R.Y.L., and want to find him and deprogram him.</div>

<br />
<br />
For 11-year-old Barret Oliver, "D.A.R.Y.L." was an exhilarating and demanding experience. Chosen from hundreds of boys who auditioned for the part during a nationwide talent search, Oliver's credits include the lead roles in "The Neverending Story" and a 1984 Disney Studios featurette, "Frankenweenie." He is featured in Ron Howard's "Cocoon," in which he plays the grandson of Maureen Stapleton and Wilford Brimley.<br />
<br />
Acting since the age of six, the young trouper was also seen in "Kiss Me Goodbye" as well as on numerous TV shows, including "The Incredible Hulk" and "Knight Rider," plus the premier episode of "Highway to Heaven," the hit series starring Michael Landon.<br />
<br />
Oliver particularly enjoyed the latter part of the "D.A.R.Y.L." shoot when he, his parents and his brother, Kyle, 14, got to do some sightseeing in England before heading for home. "It's always hard to get back to the old routine," explained his mother, Kathy, "but it's worth it."<br />
<br />
Oliver and Danny Corkill, who plays Daryl's best friend, Turtle, in the film, became good friends off the set as well. Ten-year-old Corkill, a fifth grader from suburban Chicago, was previously featured as Orlop in "Dune," Diane Keaton's son Eddie in "Mrs. Soffel" and Alex, the little boy who gets kidnapped in "Without a Trace." He has also appeared in various commercials and on TV in "Ryan's Hope."<br />
<br />
Barret is quite an active young talent. Whether he continues in films in the fantasy genre or those of a different nature, he will doubtless continue to bring his personal, special realism to movie audiences.</div>

<br />
Imagination-with it we can go anywhere. Through books, plays, or movies we travel to strange worlds...worlds of the past...worlds of the future...worlds that were and those that will never be. And what we learn there touches us, changes us-but what if we became a part of it? What if our very belief in what we read affected the outcome of the story-if we became part of a neverending story?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000066; font-weight: bold;">The Story</span><br />
<br />
Ten-year old Bastian (Barret Oliver) finds himself facing that very question. Seeking refuge in a bookstore from school bullies, he finds himself drawn to an old book, The NeverEnding Story. Bastian takes it with him to his attic and settles down for a good read. To his surprise he finds the hero of the story is a boy, not so different from himself.<br />

A boy steps forward, announcing he is Atreyu. Although surprised, the Empress's spokesman, Cairon (Moses Gunn), does not question his Empress's wisdom and offers Atreyu the Auryn, a gold and silver amulet with two snakes forming an oval. It has the power to protect him as he must not carry weapons.<br />

Bastian makes his decision and steps into the world of Fantasia...to save an Empress...to fight terrible creatures...to sail the wind on the back of a luckdragon...to protect a world from the Nothing. And as he steops through into Fantasia he brings us one step closer to joining the NeverEnding Story.<br />

On the other side of the coin (or mirror) is Barret Oliver who must portray a quiet, intellectual boy capable of being caught up in the excitement of his imagination. Barret has been a busy young actor and so may be familiar to many movie-goers, although his name may not yet be attached to his face. He can be seen on television doing commercials for McDonald's, Goodyear Tires, Visa, Security Pacific Bank, Marineland and Hertz. At the movies he's appeared in Kiss Me Goodbye, Jekyll and Hyde...Together Again and White Dog. A few years ago he appeared with Noah Hathaway on an episode of Battlestar Galactica and was seen on The Incredible Hulk, Knight Rider and Love Sidney.</div>
