Larry Wolek is a fictional character from the American soap opera One Life to Live.
Actor Michael Storm is most notable in the role and played Larry for 35 years, from 1969 through 2004. Storm is the second-longest serving cast member of the ABC Daytime-produced One Life to Live after actress Erika Slezak (Victoria Lord), and briefly crossed over as Dr. Wolek in the premiere episodes of All My Children in 1970.
Created as one of the original male protagonists for the series, Larry is introduced on the premiere episode as the youngest sibling of the Wolek family. The character debuted July 15, 1968 and continually appeared through May 28, 2004.
The role of Larry was originally played by Paul Tulley, who appears from the debut of the series in July 1968 through episodes in August of that year. Actor Jim Storm soon assumed the role in August, playing Larry through December 1968, when Storm accepted the role of Gerard Stiles on fellow ABC soap Dark Shadows. Storm recommended his brother Michael Storm for the role, which the latter Storm accepted and appeared as the character from January 1969 onward through his last appearance onscreen opposite Philip Carey on the episode aired May 28, 2004.
The younger brother of Anna (Doris Belack) and Vince Wolek (Antony Ponzini), Dr. Larry Wolek (Paul Tulley) is introduced as the boyfriend of rich socialite Meredith Lord (Trish Van Devere), a match which Meredith's father, media magnate Victor Lord (Ernest Graves), does not approve. In July 1968, Victor pushes Meredith into an engagement with the more socially acceptable Dr. Ted Hale (Terry Logan). Meredith's engagement to Ted ends when he stumbles down a Llanview Hospital staircase to his death while arguing with Larry. Nurse Karen Martin (Niki Flacks) tells police she overheard Larry and Ted arguing over Meredith and Larry threatening Ted, and Larry is arrested for murder.
