This is Awesome I sent Barry a letter,sase and 2 pictures in 2010 VV to something he was filming here in Canada and today to my surprise I got my 2 pics back autographed with great inscriptions... {up} [ca] It has been 3 years so my postage was way less than it is now and it came back from the u.s. im pretty sure and it doesn't even have u.s. postage on it but it was still delivered against all odds which is awesome... I loved barry in "Saving private Ryan", "25th Hour" & "The Green Mile" to name a few,he is a great actor and im very happy and shocked to get these back signed after 3 years. As you can see in the photo he sent me a typed letter as well on his own stationary which lists his mailing address as the same one listed on this site already on Wilshire Blvd. {up}

Yeah it was a bit shocking and really awesome...When you send vv if you don't hear back within a few months you assume that's it so to get this was great and I think hes a great actor too and saving private ryan is one of my fav movies of all time.

It's stories like this that give me hope that the letters I sent off a year ago will someday return to me.

I just realized its memorial day in America which makes getting this 3 years after I sent even more rewarding because saving private ryan is a great film and barry died in that film and I got this on u.s. memorial day ... 3 years after I mailed it and its memorial day in America.... {up} [ca] [us] It was meant to be ...
