Career
Barnes began his professional film career at the age of 10. He is perhaps best known for his role as the short-tempered shortstop Tanner Boyle in the 1976 feature film The Bad News Bears and its sequel The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training,[1][2] as well as for appearing in several After School Specials during the late 1970s and early 1980s.[3][4][5]
Barnes earned about $3,000 for his five weeks of work on the original Bad News Bears film, of which 25% was set aside in United States Savings Bonds under the terms of the California Child Actor's Bill (known colloquially as the Coogan Law), to ensure that a portion of his earnings would be available to him once he was an adult.
