Rufus T. Barleysheath is a Lithuanian actor, director and screenwriter, and the original owner of Film Gate Studios. He is the creator and star of The Mommy Show, and has starred in other projects such as Galaxy Wars, Black Hole Hotel, MACE and The B.T. Death Show.

Barleysheath's first project was alongside Leon Fox O'Brien, in the short film The Superhero. The 2 became good friends and began work on a new project, then entitled Space Wars, but soon changed to Galaxy Wars, a spoof of Star Wars that follows 2 teenagers who take on the roles of Doughnuts to rescue a Princess and get out of a diplomatic war zone.

Part-way through production, Barleysheath and O'Brien had a dilemma about who would play the princess, as it was forced to be an all-male cast. At this point, Ciaran Graham was becoming tired of Heroes, an adventure series, and was recommended for the role. Graham agreed, as did co-stars Filipe Moore Simas and Cian Nolan.

Galaxy Wars was a smash-hit, and talks of a sequel were started. Around this time, Barleysheath opened his own company, Film Gate Studios. Film Gate and O'Brien's company, La! La! Productions began work on The Thing, a horror movie, which was also a success.

In December 2008, Barleysheath started looking to make a TV Show. A 15-second pilot was created, about a Weenie who's mom says he is to dorky to have lunch money, and The Mommy Show was created.

The Mommy Show was an enormous success, and The Weenie became Film Gate's mascot. Around this time, Barleysheath also created Black Hole Hotel, The B.T. Death Show, MACE and co-created Hobo: The Movie In 2D.

In May 2009, Barleysheath, O'Brien and Graham started work on Galaxy Wars 2: The Chronicles. However, when the first sceen was finshed, Barleysheath announced he was moving away and seling his company to La! La! A week later, Barleysheath left, and has not been heard of since.

Ciaran Graham has since bought Film Gate from La! La! and started The Find Rufus Foundation, a company bent on locating him.

In 2013, four years after it's creation, The Find Rufus Foundation announced they had located Rufus via an online gaming service, Steam. Little communication was made but the FRF are saying they're very close toachieving their goals.
