[edit] Early life
Barry Pepper spent much of his early life traveling the world in a homemade ship. When Barry was five years old, the family set sail. Pepper and his family navigated through the South Pacific islands for five years. [1] His education was completed in both public schools and correspondence courses. Due to the lack of television as entertainment, the family used sketch acting as a means of fun. When the family had finished their travels, they returned to Canada and set up a shop on Denman Island off Vancouver Island.

He is best known for his role as the religious sniper, Private Daniel Jackson, in Saving Private Ryan; as Dean Stanton in The Green Mile, as journalist Joseph L. Galloway in We Were Soldiers, his leading role in the movie Battlefield Earth, his depiction of Roger Maris in Billy Crystal's HBO film 61*, and as Dale Earnhardt in the ESPN movie 3: The Dale Earnhardt Story.
He appeared in the Jagged Edge music video Goodbye.
