	Actors - Barry Primus

Barry Primus (born February 16, 1938 in New York City) is an American television and film actor.

New Yorker Barry Primus is primarily an actor, but has also doubled and tripled as writer and director. He worked on stage for the first decade of his career, then made his screen bow in the Manhattan-filmed The Brotherhood (1968). Additional films include Boxcar Bertha
(1972), Heartland (1979), Night Games (1980) and Guilty by Suspicion
(1991). He also had a continuing role on the CBS TV series Cagney and Lacey (1982—1988) as Christine Cagney's (Sharon Gless) erstwhile boyfriend Sergeant Dory McKenna, whose drug problem compromises his value as a policeman. After working as director Mark Rydell's assistant on The Rose
(1979), Primus has increased his behind-the-camera activities; in 1992, he directed his first theatrical feature, the "inside" Hollywood comedy/drama Mistress.

Barry Primus taught acting and directing classes at the American Film Institute, The Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute, the UCLA campus, and at The Workshop in Maine. He created and moderates the video podcast which interviews actors about their craft.

He also teaches acting classes at Loyola Marymount University.
