He resumed high school (bald) in the fall and continued on to Hofstra University where he received a BFA in Theatre. In complete remission he got side-tracked into fast food management until his father made it financially possible for Larry to pursue his dream of acting. He toiled around the NYC Indy theatre scene for 5 years and then after his mother's untimely death from Lung Cancer, went to Los Angeles to get involved in Television and Film. He lives in San Fernando, CA. with his partner Steve and rescue-dog Cookie.
