Nice website! Well designed. A pleasure to browse through. Thank you! Interesting life you’ve led (erm… are leading)! 😀
Whatever happened to Dooby’s Taxiola?
Sorry for the delay. I don’t know but I hope it’s in some museum.
Last night I spotted you in the S01Ep01 of Lou Grant (you were the cab driver) and I remembered you were in the Halloween episode “I was a teenage Taylor” on Home Improvement almost 25 years ago – I was in the audience! Congratulations on a career spanning all these decades!
I just listened to Derecks podcast and I am going to buy that book on Amazon sounds interesting.
You are a very funny, cool man…I like your website also.
Thanks, Tracee. I’ve got some new things coming down the road. Maybe even my own podcast or book about more of those stories. Stay tuned!
Hey Larry – like a lot of people, I’ve seen you in various roles but didn’t know your name. Am re-watching “Friends” and so enjoyed your role there. Decided to actually read the credits and found your name. Congrats on a long career. I hope you have some more roles in you.
All the best,
Marc
Is it true that you played a helper of sorts named “Sykes” for Freddy Krueger, in the waking world, where you had makeup effects that made it look like your eyelids were peeled back & stapled to your forehead, in a deleted scene from 1991’s “Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare”???
I’m re-watching “Breaking Bad,” and had to comment on the episodes where you, as a junkyard owner (and 4th Amendment constitutional expert) help Walter and Jesse, trapped by Hank in an RV, and the episode involving the magnet erasing the laptop. Beautiful work! You really make those scenes.
Charlie Butz, Kokolovitch and Tom Pepper are my favorites. Love your weasel laugh in Billy Madison too. A truly great career. Good luck with what’s next!
