Publisher's Synopsis Acting wasn't a long-held childhood dream for Larry Lamb instead his childhood memories are filled with recollections of his parents continuously fighting. His mother and father were totally mismatched the only thing they shared in common was their children and life in the Lamb household veered from laughter and happy moments to hysterical outbursts and terrifying episodes. Larry the eldest of three children was only too often caught in the middle and found himself at the centre of his father's raging anger tormented by a man who struggled with the enormity of fatherhood. When his parents' marriage finally broke down Larry's mother moved out along with her baby daughter and as they grew up Larry and his brother Wesley lived with their father seeing their mother and sister only in rushed meetings at bus stops and in public parks. For years Larry didn't know where his mum lived and he didn't dare talk of her at home his mother's presence left a gaping hole. As soon as Larry was old enough he left home. Putting as much distance as he could between himself and his volatile childhood he set off on a journey that would take him to work as an encyclopaedia salesman in Germany in the oil business in Libya and Nova Scotia until he found himself starring on Broadway. In time it would take him to Hollywood too and bring him leading roles on the Square in Eastenders and in Billericay in the much-loved comedy Gavin and Stacey. Along the way Larry wasn't just trying to make his own way in the world he was seeking the close female companionship he'd missed out on with his mother too. After a series of relationships he found himself back in England and father to George. Facing fatherhood was a pivotal moment so easily he could have fallen into the ways of his own father but whilst his marriage to George's mother didn't last he couldn't let the same mistakes be repeated again and he vowed to have the relationship with his son that he'd never been able to have with his father.
