Moss studied his craft with Stella Adler, Sanford Meisner and Warren Robertson. He began his career at New York’s famed cabaret Upstairs at the Downstairs and went on to appear on Broadway in numerous productions.

After teaching in New York at Julliard and Circle in the Square, he moved to Los Angeles and founded The Larry Moss Studio. It was here that he directed and developed Pamela Gien’s THE SYRINGA TREE, which had its world premiere at ACT in Seattle. THE SYRINGA TREE opened in New York in September 2000 and won the OBIE AWARD for BEST PLAY of 2001, the DRAMA DESK AWARD AND THE OUTER CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD for OUTSTANDING SOLO PERFORMANCE.

Moss developed and directed Bo Eason's one-man show, RUNT OF THE LITTER, which opened in New York at Manhattan Class Company in January 2002 and was voted one of the top ten plays of the year by New York Daily News. It was bought by Castle Rock to be made into a major motion picture.

In 1998, Moss directed the award-winning short film DOS CORAZONES. He will direct the film THE LILY FIELD by Pamela Gien, which will be produced by Matt Salinger. His new book on Acting “THE INTENT TO LIVE” was released by Bantam Dell in 2004. He directed Michael Raynor’s WHO IS FLOYD STEARN?

He is currently directing RFK by Jack Holmes at The Cultural Project and will be directing CLINT HOLMES LIVE AND ON TIME On-Broadway this Spring 2006 and SUGAR by April Daisy White off-Broadway.
