Barry Walker is a recurring character in the second season of 13 Reasons Why. He is portrayed by Jake Weber.

He is Bryce Walker's father, Nora Walker's ex-husband and a successful hedge fund manager and pillar of the community. He also fathered an illegitimate daughter named Caitlin, whom he started seeing and accepting as his child, to replace Bryce after disowning him following his trial.

Early Life

He attended, just like his son, Liberty High School as a child. About 12 years ago, he had an affair and the mistress got pregnant of a girl, Caitlin, which he kept a secret.

Throughout the Series

• Season 2
• Season 3

Season 2

Barry Walker first appears when Gary Bolan is showing him and his lawyers the school's sports fields and what they're changing. Barry asks Mr. Bolan if the trial against the school won't be a distraction.

When Chlöe Rice stays over for dinner, Barry says she's a great girl and that it's important that she's loyal. That's also what he had told Bryce before he dated Chlöe; to find a loyal girlfriend so it would look good in trial.

Barry is sure that Bryce isn't a rapist, and nothing seems to be able to convince him. When Nora is skeptical towards Bryce, Barry blames her for not knowing the boy they raised.
