Larry Fine

Larry Fine was a member of the Three Stooges, the American comedy team known for slapstick shorts from the 1930s through the 1960s.

Fine played the middle Stooge—the frizzy-haired, relatively passive one between the dominant Moe and the childlike Curly or his replacements.

His name occasionally appears in cultural references to the trio: Larry, Moe, and Curly.
