Larry played Sunnydale High bully turned gay activist Larry Blaisdale. Larry is a Mormon, but this didn’t stand in his way of playing a gay character (Mormons do not condone homosexuality). Larry was in an episode of Mr. Belvedere with Seth Green when the two were about 12 years old. The two also worked together on Airborne. Larry played another bully in Hocus Pocus, starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Bette Midler.

Larry was just recently in the Johnny Cash movie, Walk The Line, as Marshall Grant.
Also, another thing: when Amy turned back into a person in season 6, she was excited about going to the prom w/ Larry. Willow had to tell her that A) Larry was gay and B) Larry was dead. The prom took place in season 3 in which Larry told Xander that he was ’so out he had his grandma fixing him up with guys.’ Wouldn’t Amy have figured out that he was gay and even if she didn’t, wouldn’t he have said something? This has bothered me for a while.

Amy turned herself into a rat in Gingerbread which was shown before The Prom.
Also, Larry told Xander he was out in Earshot but I don’t think you know when he actually came out, so maybe it wasn’t until after Amy made herself into a rat.

That was Hocus Pocus that his name was Ice, not Walk the Line.

It’s strange that Larry teases Oz about dating a junior in Phases, when he must be a junior too.

No, Oz is a senior ; he ought to have left high school at the end of season 2, but…
(From Anne)
I love that Oz’s explanations never explain anything ! (Just as in Phases: “Is Jordy a werewolf ? Huh-huh.” And that’s all folks.)

Yeah but I mean Larry must have been a junior, since he graduated with Buffy &co. Or at least he would have if he hadn’t been killed.
I love that line from phases as well. Oz gets called Stoic a few times in the series, and he really is. Like in Phases when he wakes up in the woods completely naked and just says “Huh.” I love that line.

Oh, you meant Larry. Sorry, once more I rushed to conclusions :)
