The foundation of Joyner's tantric practice centers on love, and he explains that tantra is "all about pulling in God's Divine Sacred love from the universe through Spirit, Mind, and Body, and sharing it." In order to properly portray Barney, Joyner dove deep into his spiritual practices. In his interview with Trainwreck'd Society, Joyner described himself as being a student of White Lotus Tantra since he was 19. Wait, so how does this relate to Barney? Well, David Joyner is big on tantra. After the premonition, he was already pretty sure he had it locked in. Joyner said he wasn't too surprised to get the call, though. Joyner was inspired by this and took that passion into his audition, successfully scoring the role of a lifetime and helping create one of the biggest cultural icons of the '90s. The next day, as Joyner was driving to the audition, he recalls seeing a Southwest Airlines billboard with the caption "Breathe life into your vacation," just as he had dreamed of breathing life back into an unconscious Barney. Good thing Barney doesn't have sharp teeth. In this vision, Barney was passed out on the ground, and Joyner had to rush to the dinosaur's rescue, saving him through mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Sure enough, on the night before his big audition to play Barney, he had an intriguing dream about the now-popular character. As far as part-time work goes, hey - it's better than working a cash register.Īccording to Joyner, he comes from a family filled with psychic energy, and a lot of clairvoyance, so when it's time to make big life decisions, he has always trusted his dreams to guide the way.

There, he worked as a live mannequin, standing in store windows and moving like a mechanical robot. Surprisingly enough, the weird side gig that most prepared this talented guy for his purple future was in a mall. However, deep down, what Joyner really wanted was to be an entertainer. (That's why everyone loved that goofy-looking Tyrannosaurus so much!) He's also a talented musician, a skilled dancer, and an athlete. So yeah, the real guy who played Barney could simultaneously massage you, be your spiritual counselor, and fix your computer - all at the same time. Meanwhile, he also became a licensed massage therapist.

In an interview with Trainwreck'd Society, Joyner revealed that in his youth, he scored an ITT Tech degree in Electronic Engineering, and then worked for Texas Instruments as a software analyst. The idea of a spiritual purple dinosaur is already amazing enough, but it gets better, because Joyner is also smart as a whip.
