Larry Dalliapoulos is a fictional character on the 1977 - 1984 ABC sitcom Three's Company, portrayed by Richard Kline. He is better known by his shortened name, Larry Dallas. He lives upstairs from Jack, Janet, and Chrissy/Cindy/Terri, and is Jack's best friend. He is a womanizer, often lying to get them into bed. His lies are mostly about his real name and his job, from being "Playboy's best photographer" to being a doctor, etc., though his actual vocation is a used car salesman. In one episode when being questioned by his landlord Mr. Roper, Larry claimed to have served 5 years in the United States Marine Corps. Larry is of Greek descent, though this fact and his full last name are mentioned only in the episode where Jack opens "Jack's Bistro", in which he explains that he shortened it to "Dallas" because he "could never spell" Dalliapoulos. Larry has the distinction of being the only other character besides Jack Tripper to appear on Three's Company and both of its spinoffs, The Ropers and Three's a Crowd.
