Larry Maxwell Biography

Actor Larry Maxwell appeared in over 60 films, including When Harry Met Sally (1989), but is perhaps best-known for the larger roles he played in the indie films Poison (1991), where he was a mad '50s-style doctor who distills the AIDS virus, and Public Access (1993), as a member of an idyllic small town turned upside down by a cable access talk show. Both films won awards at the Sundance Festival. Before breaking into film, Maxwell regularly appeared off-Broadway and was part of Charles Ludlam's Ridiculous Theatrical Company. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
