Read the interview here:

From 1979 to 1988 Larry collaborated with John as a producer and a first assistant director. For many, many years I've been wanting to know more about him. I only have one photo with him and It's rare to see him being interviewed about the movies he did with John. It was very nice to see him being interviewed in the Big John (2006) documentary though. It was time to seek out the man and give him some more spotlight. This interview isn't as comprehensive as my interview with Christian P. Della Penna (First AD: Escape From L.A.) but sometimes I forget that the movie is as old as me and that these guys have worked on many other projects afterwards.

Very, very proud to present this interview! Thank you so much, Larry! This is awesome!
