Barry Atsma (born 29 December 1972) is a Dutch actor. The family into which he was born moved many times, because Atsma's father worked as an expat for the Dutch-British multinational Unilever. Barry Atsma spent part of his youth in the United Kingdom, Greece, Brazil and the Netherlands. This provided him with insights into how people interact with one another in various cultures, and this no doubt proved a benefit to him in his acting career. He took up the study of law, but soon switched to the Academy of Performing Arts in the Dutch town of Utrecht, where he graduated in 1996.
To the Dutch general public, he became known through his role in the TV series Rozengeur & Wodka Lime (2001-2005). For his achievements in acting, he received both a Golden Calf (award) and a Rembrandt Award. Internationally, he appeared in the 2014 film production Hector and the Search for Happiness. Atsma has expressed his desire to direct a film himself.
Personal life
From 1994 to 2011, Atsma was in a relationship with the actress Izaira Kersten. The couple has two daughters. At present, he lives in Utrecht and, as of November 2015, he is in a relationship with actress Noortje Herlaar.
