Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Barrie moved with his family to Yonkers, New York in 1952, where he attended public schools, going on to major in theater at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire.

Given Conscientious Objector status by his local draft board during the Vietnam War, Barrie trained as a combat medic.
In 1969, he received orders to be shipped to Vietnam.
A conversation with his brother, a career officer who had just returned from two years there, confirmed Barrie's decision to desert and leave the U.S. for Canada.
He later received a general discharge from the United States Army, became a Canadian citizen, and is free to travel to the U.S.
