Larry Blaisdell

Larry Blaisdell was a minor recurring fictional character portrayed by Larry Bagby in the second and third seasons of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

At first he is the stereotypical "jock who often gives Xander Harris a hard time. In "Phases," when Xander presses Larry to confess to a series of werewolf attacks, Larry misunderstands and infers that Xander, like himself, is a closeted homosexual. This gave a humorous premise for most of the Larry and Xander conversations in later episodes, and also led to Larry's own coming out of the closet, and the revelation of his more caring and compassionate side.
