From what I understand, a genuine gentleman. I was so confused when Shawn Hayes was cast to play him in the incredibly confusing project that turned out to be a movie. To my surprise and delight, he paid a very impressive and respectful homage to Larry Fine. It felt like he picked up the role like a Stradivarius: gently and with intentions of entertainment.
It was a 2012 film that lived in production hell for literal decades. Name a famous actor between 1995-2012, and they were probably rumored to have been attached to the film. At one point, Jim Carrey gained 40lbs to play Curly, but then bowed out when he realized he’d have to gain another 40lbs and became concerned for his health.
Ultimately, they settled on Chris Diamotopolis, the guy who played the boom operator that ruined The Office. His previous notable credits included playing Robin Williams in the Mork and Mindy TV behind the scenes drama thingy.
Shawn Hayes, who played Jack on Will and Grace, played Larry. And Will Sasso, from MadTV and Vine, played Curly.
Overall, the movie mostly works. The story is very Stoogie, with some very peculiar pop references. It’s a three-act story shot like shorts from the original Three Stooges days. All of the actors playing the Stooges are very careful and loving with their portrayals. The movie just didn’t get the attention that it deserved due to being rumored for so long.
Anyway, definitely worth checking out if you’re a fan or even just interested.

I’ll have to check that out! I’m unfamiliar with any Shawn Hayes and Three Stooges movie with them played by someone else.
