Career[]

Barney & Friends[]

In 1995, Jim Rowley, Executive Producer of Barney & Friends, called Holmes to see if he could direct a few Barney & Friends episodes and videos. Rowley loaned Holmes a few videos to watch, and he eventually accepted a position as a director. Prior, Holmes was a director for Wishbone, a series owned by the same company as Barney & Friends. [1] Holmes would later write episodes for the series, and is the only person to ever write and direct the same episode. He did it six times.
