The family into which he was born moved many times, because Atsma's father worked as an expat for the Dutch-British multinational Unilever. Barry Atsma spent part of his youth in United Kingdom, Greece, Brazil and the Netherlands. This provided him with insights into how people interact with each other in various cultures, and this no doubt proved a benefit to him in his acting career. He took up the study of law, but soon switched to the Academy of Performing Arts in the Dutch town of Utrecht, where he graduated in 1996.
He became known in the Netherlands through his role in the TV series Rozengeur & Wodka Lime (2001–2005). He is a recipient of both a Golden Calf (award) and a Rembrandt Award.
Internationally, Atsma is best known for his work on 2014 British film Hector and the Search for Happiness and the 2018 British television series The Split.
