The multi-talented comedian, actor and hypnotist just wrapped up production on the new film, Tribute To Fluffy where he plays a sarcastic, bitter and road weary comedian, which is nowhere near his true persona. Barnhart, not being one to stay idle was headlining Brad Garrett's Comedy Club at The MGM Grand Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, NV in between scenes in the movie.

Don is the author of the upcoming book, Comedy 101 and stars in the documentary, Finding The Funny with Brad Garrett, Louie Anderson and Wendy Liebman from America's Got Talent. He is also in preproduction on the film, Freeloader that he wrote and will star in.

Freeloader is the story of a returning Vet that ends up homeless on the streets of Vegas and becomes the Robin Hood of the disenfranchised. "I have to get in shape for the film", said Barnhart in a recent interview. He continued, "And I mean military shape. My wife is thrilled that I may actually have a six pac on my belly and not in the fridge."
