He first began his acting career in New York starring in Upstairs at the Downstairs on Broadway. He switched to teaching after he started having stage fright before shows.[2]
He taught at Juilliard and Circle in the Square in New York. He originally came to Los Angeles to train C. Thomas Howell for The Hitcher. After Helen Hunt thanked him in her accepting speech after winning an Oscar in 1997 for As Good as It Gets, the A-List demand for Larry's coaching had increased.[3] Later, he moved to Los Angeles, founding The Larry Moss Studio (now The Acting Studio at Edgemar Center for the Arts) with Michelle Danner.
He studied his craft under Stella Adler, Sanford Meisner and Warren Robertson.[2]
