Todd Graff As 'Larry' GREAT Comic Turn


I thought Todd Graff played 'Larry' with great comic flair and once you realized he is supposed to be a bit 'retarded' himself and very sensitive about it... he ends up being rather endearing. Larry for all his cruelty, becomes a 'bridge' to the crude and messy 'real' world that Gene is going to have to live in now.

It is very interesting you say this poetcomic1 and I couldn't agree more. I think the character of Larry was a bit mean to Nicky in the beginning but it was only because I think because Larry might have been insecure himself and maybe jealous of the way Nicky and his brother Geno had a brotherly relationship. I think Larry even though was a bit misguided at times in his thinking did do a better job of protecting Nicky and making sure he didn't let people just walk all over him where Geno really couldn't and Larry also helped Nicky loosen up and enjoy life like seeing the Mrs.Vincent women and dancing with her and taking him out for drinks on his B-DAY. I thought Larry was awesome and my favorite character in the whole movie besides Nicky. Plus you know Larry is cool because any friend that tries to get you laid on your B-DAY is a okay in my book!
