Fun Facts
- In VeggieTales Promo: Take 38, Larry's original voice would later be used for Scallion 2's newer voice (which sounds like Jean Claude Pea without the French accent). When Where's God When I'm S-Scared? was produced, he had a lower dopey type of voice. He is eventually got his voice higher after the first two episodes beginning with Are You My Neighbor?. The lower dopey voice was inspired by an old puppet named Soupy that Mike Nawrocki used when he was studying in the puppet ministry at Bible college.
- He is the only character to appear in every VeggieTales project and Big Idea production in general.
- A running gag in the series is other characters mistake him as being a pickle. Thus, he often responds, "I'm not a pickle, I'm a cucumber!"
- Larry had a lisp until Lyle the Kindly Viking. He wouldn't get it back until The Lost Tooth, though this is because of him missing his tooth. According to Mike Nawrocki in the audio commentary for Where's God When I'm S-Scared? he just got tired of the lisp and went to speech therapy for a while and got rid of the lisp.
- According to the official Jonah website, if he weren't an actor, he would've been a world champion at Candy Land.
