Barry Tubb

The '80s heartthrob was recently in the headlines for suing Paramount for using his likeness in the Top Gun sequel. 61 years old, never married, no kids, was in a brief relationship with Kelly McGillis after Top Gun. Family?

He was nude for the bulk of the soft core flick WARM SUMMER RAIN and appeared nude onstage in the Broadway play "Sweet Sue" with Mary Tyler Moore and Lynn Redgrave.

Not sure if he's really gay, but he played gay in the excellent TV movie Consenting Adult. Martin Sheen and Marlo Thomas played his less-than accepting parents.

He walked Julia Roberts down the aisle in her wedding to Lyle Lovett. Julia also met Danny Moder on the film Grand Champion, which Barry directed and wrote specifically with her niece Emma in mind.

His name is Barry. Case closed.

"Consenting Adult" is one of finest TV movies ever made. It debuted on ABC in 1985. I was 22 at the time and it helped me to accept my gayness. This film had a tremendous impact on my life.

OP, is that really Barry Tubb??

Here is the scene. I went to see " Sweet Sue" simply to see Barry naked. His body was spectacular, although male nudity on stage was frowned upon at that time, so he just sat in a chair with his back to the audience, as in the picture at R1.

He was a total dick in the iconic The Legend of Billie Jean.

I watched “Consenting Adult” when it aired but had it on silent so nobody could hear what I was watching. I was 13. I was like, “He’s supposed to be gay? He looks so normal!”

It was 1985. Unfortunately most of the images of gay men in the media at the time were the poor victims of AIDS.

So no peen was seen, R9?

He shows peen multiple times in the movie. He and Kelly Lynch are naked for a huge portion of it.

He discusses the Julia/Danny connection beginning at 4:08 in this interview and how she wound up appearing in Grand Champion not long after she'd won the Oscar.

[quote]suing Paramount for using his likeness in the Top Gun sequel.

I'm really hoping that the new SAG contract and actors prohibit use of likenesses in perpetuity.

It's one thing to use their images in advertising and trailers for the current project. I might even concede using unused ACTUAL footage as flashback material for a sequel. But, if they're creating new stuff with AI without compensating the actor that's just wrong.

I barely remember him being in TOP GUN.

He had spectacular DSLs when he was young.

No peen seen on stage. Damn.

I guess he was smart enough and got a vasectomy early on. Which you can't say about Emile Hirsch and Jennifer Anistons half-brother.

The peen thus seen was mainly on the screen.

I think he's got it. By George, he's got it.

He played a camp counselor in “Mask”. He asked Rocky to remove his mask.
