Larry Fishburne (real name Lawrence Fishburne III, also known as Laurence Fishburne) is an American actor. He was born in 1961 at Augusta, Georgia. When he was only a baby his mother moved with him to Brooklyn, New York. His English teacher godfather had known his talents early in his life, just as it happened with his mother, who started dragging him around to a series of auditions at the New Federal Theatre and the Negro Ensemble Theater in Manhattan. He made his stage debut at age of ten in New York, and started his first television role in 1973 at the age of eleven. By the age of twelve, he had his first small movie role; and at 14-years-old, he falsified about his age and scored a career fighting role in Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 film 'Apocalypse Now', the filming of which was to be a life-altering experience for the untrained, underage newcomer. Not only did he co-star big with such stars as Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen and Robert Duvall in his second debut film, however, he braved monsoons, civil unrest and possess
other unseen bad situations. Research Larry Fishburne
