J S Barnes Biography & Facts

Christopher J. Barnes (born June 24, 1965) is an American former child actor. Career Barnes began his professional film career at the age of 10. He is perhaps best known for his role as the short-tempered shortstop Tanner Boyle in the 1976 feature film The Bad News Bears and its sequel The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training, as well as for appearing in several After School Specials during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Barnes earned about $3,000 for his five weeks of work on the original Bad News Bears film, of which 25% was set aside in United States Savings Bonds under the terms of the California Child Actor's Bill (known colloquially as the Coogan Law), to ensure that a portion of his earnings would be available to him once he was an adult. The bonds had been misplaced and didn't resurface until 1998, when he was living in Utah and worked at a flower shop.
