 However, Hank sometimes acts as a voice of reason for Larry and solves his problems for him, whether intentionally or not.Larry infrequently expresses an underlying affection for Hank, despite finding him intolerable (telling his wife-to-be that he "loves him" in the episode "Hank's Wedding"), and on occasion steps beyond his comfort zone for the sake of their friendship, for example cutting short his much needed vacation in order to attend the grand opening of Hank's 'Look Around Cafe' In the episode "The Grand Opening".Larry depends almost entirely upon Artie to protect him from the network executives and the unpleasant realities of show business.
