==''Red Dwarf''== Barrie played the character [[Arnold J. Rimmer]] in all twelve series of ''[[Red Dwarf]]'', appearing in almost every episode of the series, absent only for a period during series 7.<ref>{{cite web |title=Red Dwarf Guide: SVIII |url=http://www.reddwarf.co.uk/guide/index.cfm?seriesID=8 |website=www.reddwarf.co.uk |access-date=18 September 2019}}</ref> When an unsold pilot for an American version of the show was produced, Barrie was invited to reprise his role as Rimmer.
