Larry was born in New Haven, Connecticut on September 10, 1970 to Lawrence and Sheryl Sullivan. His family moved to Florida when he was ten years old after his father's employer, Armstrong Rubber Company, closed its plant.
Having grown up in Kissimmee, just outside of Orlando, he began his professional career with the role of Winnie-the-Pooh at Walt Disney World in 1988. That same year his first TV job was as stand-in for
John Newton on the television show
"Superboy" (1988). Soon after, he returned to Walt Disney World starring on stage as a singer/dancer with the Kids Of The Kingdom group, and later performed at Tokyo Disneyland for several months. Upon finishing his contract with Disney, he performed in several shows at the St. Louis Muny, the oldest and largest outdoor Equity theatre in the country.
Sullivan moved to New York in 1993 and four months later was quickly cast in the national tour of "Miss Saigon" which brought him to Los Angeles.
Larry has appeared in numerous films including
Rush Hour (1998) and the festival hit
