Lawrence "Larry" Wolf, a talented individual, entered this world in the vibrant city of New York, a place where the sounds of creativity and innovation fill the air. His journey in the world of acting began under the guidance of the renowned Stella Adler, a celebrated acting coach who nurtured his skills and helped him blossom into a skilled thespian.

As a member of the esteemed ensemble cast of filmmaker Robert Downey Sr.'s satirical films, Lawrence Wolf's talents were showcased in two iconic movies: Putney Swope (1969) and Pound (1970). In these films, he left an indelible mark, bringing to life memorable characters that continue to captivate audiences to this day.

One of his most notable roles was that of Mr. Borman Six, a German auto tycoon with questionable political allegiances, in the groundbreaking film Putney Swope. This character, with his enigmatic presence and complex motivations, added depth and nuance to the story, making Wolf's performance a standout.

Another unforgettable role was that of the anguished Mexican Hairless, who poured his heart out to Robert Downey Jr.'s not-so-innocent puppy in Pound. This poignant scene showcased Wolf's remarkable range as an actor, as he conveyed a sense of desperation and longing with ease.

Noted actor Wolf has had an extensive career, boasting an impressive array of film, commercial, and television appearances, with a notable distinction being his involvement in multiple pilot projects that unfortunately never materialized into full-fledged productions. Additionally, Wolf has showcased his creative versatility by authoring and helming the acclaimed short film Billy Butterfly, which premiered in 1971 and garnered widespread recognition and accolades.

Beyond his esteemed filmography, Wolf has also ventured into the realm of live theatrical productions, showcasing his versatility as a performer. One notable endeavor was his tenure as the leader of The First Topless String Quartet, a groundbreaking ensemble comprising four talented and captivating women who, despite never rendering a single musical note, garnered widespread acclaim for their artistic merit.

Wolf's multifaceted talents extend far beyond the realm of acting, as he has been blessed with a remarkable vocal range, allowing him to pursue a parallel career as a musician. In fact, his passion for music dates back to the 1960s, when he began singing with a fervor that has only intensified over the years.

One of his most notable musical endeavors was his stint as the lead singer of The Electric Chair Rock band, a group that undoubtedly showcased his impressive vocal prowess. Moreover, Wolf has also explored his creative side by adopting the alter ego of Johnny Slime, a charismatic Vegas lounge singer who embodies the essence of a bygone era.
