Tony Barry
Tony Barry (born 28 August 1941) was an Australian tough-looking actor and activist who performed in nearly 60 feature films and over 45 television series, across a five-decade career, in both Australia and New Zealand. Barry was for a number of years afflicted by melanoma, culminating in a 2013 leg amputation.
