A prolific author, Barris has written seven books, one of which was turned into the movie Confessions of a Dangerous Mind from Warner Bros., produced by George Clooney and starring Sam Rockwell. In this autobiography, Barris claims to have worked as an assassin for the CIA, which is patently denied by the U.S. government. Barris now resides outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
