SakshiThe Art Of Expression
He adds further “When you date a guy or you’re with a guy that has this love for children, and not only that but now you’re with a guy who has a love for millions of children, that is traveling around and that’s only expressing ‘I love you, you love me’…”
Still A Star
Even though he has quit portraying Barney 16 years ago, he still is chased by fans “I still get compliments on Facebook and different places. I’m very excited about the fact that it has had a huge impact on a lot of people, not just in America but all over the world.”
Never Liked Barney
He also speaks up on the other side of the coin. He understands that not everyone liked his work, He explains to BuzzFeed, “When the kids got to that 6 to 7-year-old age range and were all, ‘Oh, I hate Barney, I can’t stand Barney,’ it never really affected me. Because I knew what we were doing. And the message that we were spreading was just so powerful.”
Troubles
It was not an easy task to play Barney for him. Along with Barney’s heavy suit accounting for 7o pound, he had to put up with the heat rising up to 120-degrees. He says “It’s a T-rex, so you’re basically up to your elbows in being able to move, and then also, Barney’s feet were huge.”
The First Income
His efforts did not go in vain. He was rewarded for is hard work with a lot of money. Joyner states “I remember receiving the first residual check, and the check was so big. And I was just like, “Oh my god, are you kidding me?” So I had this beautiful white stucco home, and I paid for the house with residuals, which is really cool.”
Before Audition
He did a lot of hard work before giving the audition. He watched all the videos of Barney and with every video he grew suspicious about his decision of taking a chance for this. He stated: “So I get these videos and every time I tried to watch the video…I’d fall asleep…I’m like, “This is boring!” Barney’s like barely moving, he’s waddling, and the voice is like [in deep, slow-motion voice],”Whoo-hoo-hoo, hello boys and girls.”
