Not The First Choice

It might interest you to know that Joyner was not the first choice for the character Barney. Despite undergoing five rounds of auditions, It was someone else who bagged the role. But the woman who was chosen for the role could not get along with the cast members and also had some difficulty with the costume. She was then replaced by the Joyner, who made the character memorable. Joyner made his big screen debut with Barney’s Great Adventure.
