Biography

Person Biography:

Larry was born and raised in Dallas, Texas, where his passion for performing was evident from a young age. He was often involved in school and church productions, showcasing his talent and charisma. This early start laid the foundation for his future career as a performer.

Larry's professional journey began as the lead singer and front man for a quartet, traveling the country for almost 20 years. After taking early retirement, he turned his attention to acting, initially taking on extra and bit parts in TV and movies, including Rain, A House Divided, Prison Break, Inspector Mom, and numerous student films.

His big break came when he was signed by Core Talent in Dallas and Landrum Arts LA in Louisiana, followed by TAG Talent Agency of Austin and Linda McAlister Talent in Dallas. This marked the beginning of his career as a professional actor, with a wide range of roles in industrial films, national commercials, and TV shows.

Larry's extensive list of credits includes work for notable brands such as Dunkin Donuts, The Dallas Mavericks, EnergyDepot, The Texas Rangers, HEB, Cabela's, Radio Shack, Alcon Labs, Ford Motor Company, and On The Border. He has also appeared in print ads for Mr. Gatti's Pizza, Aero Mexico, and SBC/AT&T.

In addition to his commercial work, Larry has taken on a variety of supporting and lead roles in TV and film, including Dr. Bill in "American Stud", Tim Badler in "Black Mold Exposure", Michael Mosca in "What Is Gothic?", Dr. Charles Brandon in "The Sisters Four", Tom Mosely in "The Stopping Place", Doc Moran in the western "Shroud", and Dr. John Harvey Kellogg in "The Genesis of Healing".

Larry's most recent projects include a supporting role as a sheriff in the popular NBC show Friday Night Lights, a role as Jack Ruby in JFK: The Ruby Connection for The Discovery Channel, and a supporting role as Reverend Woodard in the feature film "Bernie", starring Jack Black, Matthew McConaughey, and Shirley MacLaine.

He has also appeared in the feature films "Humans vs Zombies" and "Deep in the Heart", and has a supporting role in the Tom Hanks-produced film "Parkland", starring Zac Efron, Paul Giamatti, and Billy Bob Thornton.

In addition to his acting work, Larry fulfilled one of his goals by producing, directing, and acting in the short film "Amazin' Grace", which will make its debut in mid to late 2013. When asked about his aspirations, Larry replied, "The Next One!" – always seeking that next challenging role and new experiences.
