Following the destruction caused in the Wednesday-Crackstone final showdown in Wednesday Season 1, the biggest concern for every fan was who would take the place of Principal Weems. Well, the promo videos that were released ahead of the Wednesday Season 2 premiere revealed that the new Principal of Nevermore Academy will be Barry Dort. So, now that the new season has arrived and we’ve gotten to meet him already, let’s dig deeper and find out who Barry Dort is in Wednesday Season 2 and who portrays him.
Who Is Barry Dort in Wednesday?
Barry Dort is the new principal of Nevermore Academy, and it can be said that he is quite unlike Principal Weems. To be precise, he is the polar opposite of the predecessor. Dort doesn’t show any disrespect for Weems, but he doesn’t respect her either. He believes that Weems had a soft corner for the normies, and he is going to repair the mistakes made by her.
While Wednesday Addams was trying to prevent the school from plunging into darkness, Weems called her a trouble magnet. However, in Wednesday Season 2, when the girl showed up at Nevermore after the summer vacation, Dort greeted her with a huge smile and called her the saviour of the academy.
Now, if you remember Weems as a flawless impersonator who could take the form of anyone, the first episode revealed the powers of Barry Dort. He is a skilled fire manipulator and summoner who can ignite anything with his fingers.
Who Is the Barry Dort Actor in Wednesday Season 2?
Steve Buscemi portrays Barry Dort in Wednesday Season 2. He is a 67-year-old American actor who has blessed the industry with numerous top-tier films and television series. These include Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams, the Hotel Transylvania film series, Boardwalk Empire, and more.
