- Publicity listings
- TriviaAfter Columbia shut down its shorts department, the Three Stooges took their act on the road. What they did not know was that they had found a renewed popularity thanks to their old theatrical film shorts being sold to television, exposing them to a whole new (and younger) audience. Larry's sister recalled that when their train pulled into some towns, there were mobs of people waiting. Larry, Moe and Joe DeRita would wonder who the V.I.P. was; they had no idea the crowd of people waiting was for them.
- TrademarksAlways played the middle stooge with a receding hairline and bushy, unkempt hair. While he was not as dominating as Moe or as distinctive as Curly or his replacements, his relative normality allowed him to play the necessary straight man to the others.
