After a confrontational Graduation Day, I decided to run away with a Show Business Circus. Went to Greenwich Village and started bussing bars between 2am and 6am while doing Open Mic Nites at the coffee-houses all over The Village. Within a couple of months, I was opening for Woody Allen, Miles Davis, The Kingston Trio, on to “Second City” in Chicago, became a Founding Member of “The Committee” - A San Francisco attraction rivaling Second City, co-starred or was featured in Escape from Alcatraz, Friends, Seinfeld, Trains, Planes and Automobiles, Home Alone, Billy Madison, Breaking Bad, El Camino, Barry, etc.

Within my first year an angry roommate was holding a knife to my throat. It turned out to be more of a “Carny” Show involving money, lots of rejections, The Police, and rent: A cautionary tale.

I’ve had an amazing, sometimes life-threatening, and rewarding life, and I wouldn’t trade it for a normal life even if one really existed.

“It’s wonderful… I mean it… I loved your incredible storytelling and the richness in your stories.”
- Michael Esslinger, best-selling author of Escaping Alcatraz

“Great book! Larry tells a fascinating story. Larry is not only a talented actor but a great writer as well. You won’t be disappointed!”
- James Bailey, best-selling author of Man Interrupted

“A funny, entertaining cautionary tale about Hollywood’s movie and television Show Business and many of its famous members. This book is about him, told by himself, for the edification and amusement of us all.
- Carl Gottlieb best-selling author of Jaws (film) and The Jaws Log (Book)

“Dear Larry, I read your manuscript. It's an engaging romp… Like a pearl necklace, your anecdotes and stories are strung together and hang beautifully."
- S. Wasserman, CEO

“Wonderful! … It could be a best seller and possibly a movie. All my staff are your fans and said they’ll buy your book!"
- A. Bell, editor

"Found it hard to stop reading...You're also a gifted scribe. You present your stories in an easy-to-read, intelligent yet entertaining fashion. I think not just fans of your work but those interested in considering a jab at show biz (or dare at a career) would benefit from the experiences presented in your book. Thanks again for a Great Read!"
- Stone Wallace, editor
