Then college came and he got the acting bug and completed a degree in Theater.  After college, he performed in local repertory theater and then made the big move to Southern California.  He continued his acting studies with the world-famous Groundlings improvisational troupe and then joined and performed with the comedy group, Hauska Comedy.  Larry  performed at legendary Hollywood comedy clubs such as The Comedy Store and the Ice House.  Over the years Larry has worked in several fields in the entertainment industry. 
 
Larry has now come full circle back to his childhood dream of creating voices, thanks to the inspiration of his daughters who loved when he would read them bedtime stories using funny voices and his puppets.”
