For the new fans reading this, why don't you tell us a little about yourself?
LOL. OK, I have gotten pretty skilled at this part of the interview, taking into consideration that everyone who has interviewed me has asked this question. (Haha) So, anyway, I'm Larry Laboe. I am a model, actor, and singer, or at least trying :-P
How old are you, and where are you from?
I actually just turned the BIG 16 March 2nd. I am from Michigan, but I'm planning on moving to Los Angeles, CA. in July. I've already been out there, but it's still going to be a big change for me. Trust me, I think I will be able to adjust to the sun just fine ;) LOL.
I understand that you're both an actor and a singer. Which were you interested in first?
Umm, that's kind of a hard question, but I'd have to say singing, because I was doing it first. I always sang, when I was a little kid, and I didn't start acting until school started. Unless it was me acting to my mom faking sick, or something :-P.
Do you have any role models? If so, who are they, and why?
The first one I would have to say would be my mom. My mom, because she brought me up as a single mother, and still gave me everything I wanted, even though sometimes she really couldn't. If I need support in something, she's always there to give it to me. She has helped me out a lot in everything I have done so far in recording, and stuff.

What do you think is the best part of being a singer?
MEETING EVERYONE!
Have you met anyone really famous, yet?
I met O-Town at a hotel in NYC, one of the times I was there.
If you could do a duet with any artist that is out right now, who would it be and why?
All right, I'm going to really think about this question in this interview, because in all of my other interviews, I've just been throwing out the first thing that came to mind. OK, I'm going to say Usher. I would choose Usher, number one, because he has great vocals. Number two, because he has an awesome stage presence, and can definitely dance. The number three reason would be because he would just be overall fun, and easy to work with.
Do you have a solo CD out right now? If not, when can fans expect it to come out?
Yep, it came out about two months ago. Its called "Funny Thing Called Love." You can check out clips from it at www.LarryLaboe.com, and even buy a copy right online.
What CD is currently in your CD player?
Well, it's not the same one as yesterday. LOL. It's the 50 Cent CD. And, yes, I LISTEN TO RAP. Haha.
What are your goals/hopes to accomplish with your music and acting career?
I definitely hope to record a full CD within this next year, or at least to get started recording it. I'm going out to LA in July, like I said, so I'm hoping that I will get a lot of print work, and acting work right away, and still continue working on music, and going to school while I'm doing that. I'm also going to be promoting like crazy, doing a lot of promotional concerts, and appearances. To me, accomplishing what I want in music and acting is getting work and recording. As long as I'm doing that, I will be happy.
If you had to give up either acting or singing, which one would you pick?
I'd find some way to do both. Trust me, I'm good at that!
You have some awesome fans. Do you have a message for them?
THANK YOU- THANK YOU- THANK YOU- YOU ARE AWESOME! I WANT TO SEE EVERY ONE OF YOU AT MY CONCERTS AND PROMOTIONAL APPEARANCES...SO BE THERE!!!
