Lorenzo "Larry Boy" Barese, played by Tony Darrow, is a fictional character on the HBO original series The Sopranos. He is the only one of the five original captains of the DiMeo crime family who remains in that position throughout the show. In the episodes "Pax Soprana" and "I Dream of Jeannie Cusamano" his first name is given as "Lawrence," but in the episodes "The Legend of Tennessee Moltisanti" and "Stage 5" he is called "Lorenzo," which is likely his true given name. Richie Aprile mentions that he had a dermabrasion prdocedure. He is typically polite, relatively soft-spoken and loyal to the Soprano crime family.

Barese is the caporegime of his own crew which is the biggest in the crime family. His crew's activities include drug trafficking, gambling, loan sharking, waste management and stock and credit card scams. His cousin, Albert "Ally Boy" Barese, is his second in command and he is also the godfather of Soprano associate Benny Fazio. Over the years Barese managed to become an influential member of the DiMeo crime family during the 1990s. Following the death of acting boss Jackie Aprile, Sr. in 1999, Larry supported Tony Soprano becoming the new boss over Tony's uncle Corrado "Junior" Soprano. However, Larry supported Tony's plan to use Junior as the official boss and agreed to follow Tony's orders as he was running the family behind Junior's back.
