Early Life

When Larry the Cable Guy was born on February 17, 1963, his name was Daniel Lawrence Whitney. Tom Whitney and Shirley Whitney raised him. Larry came from a simple background because he grew up on a pig farm. His father was a Christian minister and an entertainer who played the guitar.

Larry signed up to go to The King's Academy for his early education. His father ran the elementary school at the same school where he went to high school. Soon after, he went to Berean Christian School. Then, he went to college at the Baptist University of America. He also went to school at the University of Nebraska at some point.

Career

In the 1990s, when Larry was starting, he was on a show called The Ron and Ron Show, which was aired all over the country. He also appeared on other shows, like The Chris Baker Show, which was broadcast on KDGE. He was on The Todd and Tyler Show on KEZO.

His first few years as a stand-up comedian were challenging. At the beginning of his comedy career, Larry performed on stage under his real name. He did not do well, which was a shame. But this changed when he came up with the character of Larry the Cable Guy. This is still the character he plays on his popular shows. It has to do with the personality of a person with a strong Southern accent. Most of his funny comedies are about the beginning of his life. Fans liked him because of his catchphrase, "Git-R-Done."

"Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie," a film about a stand-up comedy concert from 2003, was the first time Whitney was seen. He gave Mater's voice in the movie "Cars" that same year. The actor then did the movies "Delta Farce" and "Witless Protection" not long after this. In 2011, he did Mater's voice again in the film "Cars 2." In the movie "A Madea Christmas," which came out two years later, the American actor played Buddy. Then, in 2017, he played Mater again in "Cars 3."
