By Mulder, 11 june 2023

Today, Gene Cousineau (Henry Winkler) from HBO’s Barry took over Canter’s Deli to give away 300 pastrami and reuben sandwiches to visiting Television Academy Members.  Gene Cousineau, the beloved acting coach from Barry, took over the lobby and went table to table introducing himself to members and Canter’s Deli patrons during the Saturday lunch period as members dined on the free pastrami and reuben sandwiches.  

Canter’s Deli served as just one of the many LA-area locations for the Emmy Award-winning series Barry. Other notable locations included Coral Tree Cafe, Dave & Busters in Torrence, Cielo Wines in Malibu, Rocky Oaks Estate Winery, Dream Hotel Hollywood, and Lucy’s El Adobe Cafe in Hollywood.  

Barry has been critically acclaimed through its final fourth season and has amassed 44 Emmy Nominations and 9 wins for the first three seasons.  It has also been lauded by SAG with 8 nominations, and Critics Choice Awards with 10 nominations. 

The Emmy-winning dark comedy series returns for an eight-episode fourth season, in which Gene Cousineau (Henry Winkler) is hailed as a hero as Barry's arrest has shocking consequences. It's all been leading up to this… the explosive and hilarious final chapter of Barry. Barry stars Bill Hader as a depressed, low-rent hitman from the Midwest. Lonely and dissatisfied in his life, he reluctantly travels to Los Angeles to execute a hit on an aspiring actor. Barry follows his “mark” into an acting class and ends up finding an accepting community in a group of eager hopefuls within the LA theater scene. He wants to start a new life as an actor, but his criminal past won’t let him walk away —can he find a way to balance both worlds? Also starring Stephen Root, Sarah Goldberg, Glenn Fleshler, and Anthony Carrigan. The series was created and produced by Hader along with Alec Berg (HBO's Silicon Valley).
