Born in Chester, Pennsylvania in 1956, Barry Godin has proved countless times how his creativity and business savvy have propelled him to the top of the visual entertainment industry, from casting director and talent management to set design and decoration. Godin is a graduate of Washington and Lee University and has studied at the University of Virginia, Pratt, New York University and the School for Visual Arts. He is a consulting buyer for New York's top film and television prop rental company. He was voted one of the top 87 people to watch in 1987 by Atlantic City Magazine. He realized being responsible for major theme parties and customer development for Atlantic City's premier casino hotel just wasn't a challenge anymore. So it was off to NYC. His management company has placed young actors and models with top firms in New York and Los Angeles as well as on the cover of major fitness and exercise magazines.
