**Barry Bostwick** (San Mateo, California, 1945) is an American actor, best known for his iconic role as Brad Majors in the cult film *The Rocky Horror Picture Show* (1975).

Hailing from musical theater, where he won a Tony Award, Bostwick also brought his versatility to the big screen. In film, he has often distinguished himself in leading or co-starring roles ranging from the romantic hero to the everyman, often with a touch of naiveté, charm, or a slightly "preppy" aura.

His performances are characterized by a blend of seriousness and self-deprecating humor, making him suitable for both lively comedies and subtle dramas. Although *The Rocky Horror Picture Show* remains his most famous film, he has appeared in numerous other film productions, solidifying his reputation as a reliable and recognizable actor, capable of imbuing his characters with depth and charisma.
