Barry had been doing a lot good in his career and that can easily be understood by reading his filmography but he grew disillusioned with Hollywood which is not very rare with actors.

He mentioned in an interview that sometimes this break is like going on a long-term vacation from work and also sometimes questioning why is one pursuing this in the first place.

Barry had already made a name for himself and was only going up in life, it was his conscious decision to take a break and step away from Hollywood. Whatever his reason might be or perhaps he was just bored of fame, it kept him away from Hollywood since his last appearance in 2014.

Hollywood is indeed a tough place to stay, he was not exactly the high-class or on his way to the Oscars but he had a place in Hollywood and perhaps selecting certain roles would have got him bigger a name.
