About Larry

Larry’s #1 goal is to put a smile on the listener’s face while selling your product, service, or entertainment piece at the same time. He is the voice of your next-door neighbor, the guy telling you jokes at the office water cooler, a silly character you might find living in ToonTown, everyone’s favorite Dad, or that smooth-talking radio personality.

The Color of War: History Channel Series

Never before seen color footage was found from World War II was made into a 13 part series narrated by Peter Coyote for the History Channel. There was no audio with the footage so the show’s creators had narration plus additional characters voiced to tell stories along with the footage. I had the privilege of voicing one of the characters.

Bio

As a child, Larry always wanted to be a Muppet…er a puppeteer. Collecting various puppets from the local toy stores, Larry became obsessed with creating voices and performing them through his puppets for his family and friends.

During his childhood, he also loved creating rhythms by taking wooden spoons and smacking them on all of the pillows on the family couch. He started studying the drums at the age of 8 and played in all of the school bands available through high school including the Northern California Honor Band.

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 had the privilege to perform with Hauska Comedy 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 worked as a music composer for music libraries, a professional drummer, a sound f/x editor and sound designer for film, and an on-camera commercial and indie film actor.

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.

What happens when a father wants to tell his kids about how amazing the Kenner toys were, how the culture of the ’80s and early ’90s was literally worth recalling, how every movie and franchise today has recreated and borrowed heavily from a decadent and indulgent decade and the Nintendo Entertainment System was a gateway and window into his very soul, yet his kids seem to be focused more on fortnight dances and youtube videos? What happens when he meets another dad who seems exacerbated by the busy lifestyles of his teenage girls, daughters who only are content with experiencing a classic movie on their mobile phone while Snap chatting, who still plays arcade games on his VR and watches John Hughes films almost religiously and recalls with intimacy every detail of the ’80s? Pop Rocks Podcast happens.
