Did you know that Barber has also tipped his toe into acting too? He played the character of Don in the Broadway show Kinky Boots. Being a man of good humor, Barber autographed memorabilia and photos at the Greater Binghamton Sports Hall of Fame ceremony last night including the above photo of his role in Kinky Boots.

That was clearly the last thing he expected anyone to hand him to sign as the room was filled with jerseys, footballs, and other sports fanatic-type items.
