Born Entertainer
At an extremely early age, Larry Fine worked on his performance skills by playing the violin. Growing up, his interest in music expanded, and, as a teenager, he became more interested in singing. He also made some extra cash from that, in addition to his boxing skills.

Once he reached the ripe age of 18, he transitioned his energy to on-stage performances, particularly with vaudeville. In 1925, approximately five years later, he met Moe and Ted, and he temporarily replaced Moe playing his “stooge” role in their acts. He obviously did a great job because they decided to keep him.
