Who is Barry Weiss?

Apart from 'Storage Wars', Weiss has appeared in shows such as 'Barry'd Treasure', 'Storage Wars: Barry Strikes Back' and documentaries such as 'Motorcycle Mania III' and 'Beverly Hills Garage – The Bruce Meyer Project'.
As per his A&E bio, "Since the age of 15, Barry has made a name for himself as an antique collector. A Robert Evans-meets-Jack Nicholson type, Barry thinks these auctions are a good place to make a buck. For Barry, buying is a hobby, but one at which he is very proficient. His wealth of knowledge extends from classic cars to war relics and everything in between.
Barry is always looking for an out-of-the-box approach to get one up against his competition. Whether it’s bringing psychics to an auction, or night vision goggles, Barry lacks no shame in his outlandish tactics. Look to Barry for the great one-liners; he’s never one to bite his tongue."
