Do you know the names of the actors who played Moe, Larry and Curly in the Three Stooges?

Asked by LostInParadise (32183points) January 11th, 2024

I was never a fan, but I thought odd that I could not name the actors. I went to IMDB to check the names and realized I never heard of these guys. I suspect the same for most people. Isn’t that a bit odd?

Different guys at different times. From Wikipedia:

Moe Howard (born Moses Horwitz) and Larry Fine (born Louis Feinberg) were mainstays throughout the ensemble’s nearly 50-year run; the pivotal “third stooge” was played by (in order of appearance) Shemp Howard (born Samuel Horwitz), Curly Howard (born Jerome Horwitz), Shemp Howard again, Joe Besser, and “Curly Joe” DeRita (born Joseph Wardell).

Interesting! I wonder if all of those Horwitzs were related. I’m guessing so. I wasn’t a big fan, but enjoyed them for a few years.

I made a mistake by checking the movie instead of the television show. I do vaguely recall the names Moe Howard and Larry FIne. I don’t recall the name Curly Howard.

I knew them. I was a fan as a kid.
