Childhood and education
Barrett grew up in one of the most popular parts of New York City, which is Manhattan – he hasn’t shared any details with the public regarding his parents Linda and Conrad, as he respects their privacy as much as his own. As he hasn’t talked about any siblings, most of Barrett’s fans believe him to be an only child. Barrett grew up loving puzzles and thanks to being able to solve puzzles in less time than other kids of his age, he was invited to attend the popular and prestigious Dalton School in Manhattan.
He fell in love with acting while attending high school, and went on to spend several months every year in the Interlochen Arts Camp, where he worked on his acting skills. After matriculation, Barrett enrolled at the University of Michigan from which he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in theatre. He was attracted by London’s theatre scene, and therefore spent some time there studying and perfecting his acting skills – he’s also been part of several theater acting groups, and has performed in some of the most popular places in London, including the New London Barn Playhouse.
Career of a theatre actor
Although Barrett is not much of a believer, he didn’t want to pass on the role of Jesus in the “Godspell” theatre play, which helped him rise to prominence – he won the role soon after he graduated from college, and because of his great acting skills was invited to appear in numerous other plays. He then went on hiatus for a short period of time, as he started working for the Theatre Works during his short time there, and created a unique role for the “Kept” musical movie. Barrett got back to acting after that, and several new roles followed, including that of Mordred in the popular “Camelot” play – his next role was in the “Cupid and Psyche” theatre play, for which he was praised.
Barrett became popular worldwide after he began appearing in the “Avenue Q” musical comedy – as the show was basically revolving around puppets, Barrett practiced specially for this role, which led to him winning the main role in the show on 1 February 2005. He was part of the cast for nearly two years, but for around a year he was simultaneously playing in “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” as Leaf Coneybear. After that, Barrett won roles in numerous other theatre plays, but as people today watch more TV series, Barrett is mostly popular for his role of Eric Beale in “NCIS: Los Angeles”, which he won in 2009 – he’s been part of the main cast since then, and is still shooting for the show.

Is Barrett married to Renée Felice Smith or is he gay?

Some people even took the rumors a step further, and announced that the two exchanged wedding vows – although neither Barrett nor Renee have commented on these rumors, it’s known that the two were only friends, as Renee has been dating her longtime boyfriend Christopher Gabriel for years now. Probably getting tired of hiding his sexual orientation from everyone, Barrett shared the fact that he was gay with his fans in February 2019 – most of the fans weren’t shocked as they had already suspected this, but it’s a fact that Barrett lost part of his fanbase due to this confession, but he’s also attracted new fans.
