Barry Watson first grabbed my attention when I saw him on 7th Heaven many years ago...He is a cool-looking guy and an awesome actor! They should have had him on that show more often! ...Continue »
I must say that Barry Watson is definitely my favorite actor! I have seen a lot of good pictures of him. I first saw him on 7th Heaven many years ago. But that episode had David Galliger in it also, who played Simon Camden. At first, I didn't like the show then, because Simon tackled one of his friends in the house. Then, many years later, when I saw a commercial for it I saw Barry Watson on it. I watched the show and his acting was perfect! He is a really cool guy!

Matt is like the best older brother any one could have. He is so supportive to his younger brothers and sisters. He puts them first before anyone else. Its so amazing to see him work his magic as the oldsest Camden child. He is very happily married to a great jewish girl Sarah. I love Sarah, she is very funny and open minded about everything she does what she wants and doesnt think twicew about it. Matt and Sarah are both in medical school training to become a doctor. Best wishes for them and good luck in the future. I hope to be seeing Matt a lot this season.

Barry plays the role of Matt Camden on 7th Heaven. I have always loved him very much on 7th Heaven he was one of the better actors.

I also like him as a person as well. The thing I like most about him is that he is a cancer surviver. He was diagnosed with Hodgkins Disease and went throuch chemotherapy. He won a teen choice award the same time he was going through chemo. When I was watching it I thought, "What are they going to do if Barry wins? He's not going to be there because he has cancer." And then it was announced that he had won. He showed up with his hair falling out "not looking his best" and accepted his award. Ever since then I thought he was cool.

He is now a husband and a father to a little boy named Oliver.

When i watched the show regurly i was jealous of a girl who played Matt's girlfriend at the time.
He performs so well thati could believe anything he says even though i know he is acting.I hope he has a great and healthy life with his wife and son.
