Occupation Friend and Dinosaur
Barney T. Dinosaur (or simply just Barney) is a two hundred million year old purple dinosaur, who comes to life through a child's imagination. Barney was orginally voiced by American actor Bob West until retiring from the role in 1999. He was replaced by Duncan Brannan and then replaced again by Dean Wendt. Patrick Mcalister and Rick Starkweather have performed in the Barney costume both on TV and in the live stage shows. He is best known for his friendly, optimistic (and even generous) personality and his positive attitude. His theme song is the "Barney Theme Song" (or "Barney is a Dinosaur" to the tune of "Yankee Doodle" wink . His other well known song is "I Love You," which has been parodied by many people and the tune is sung slowly to "This Old Man". Barney likes most kinds of food, but his favourite is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, presumably with Pumpernickel bread, which is his favourite bread. According to Barney's Campfire Sing-Along, veggies are also a favorite of his.

Yup. 2000,000,000 years old.
