Moe Howard was the undoubted leader of the pack. With his unmistakable bowl haircut and irritable demeanor, he was often seen dishing out orders—and the occasional smack—to his fellow Stooges.
Curly Howard: The Bald Buffoon
Curly Howard's chrome dome and infectious high-pitched voice made him a fan favorite. Despite being the youngest brother, his childlike antics and gyration dance moves could steal any scene.
Larry Fine: The Frizzy-Haired Schemer
Ever caught between Moe's wrath and Curly's silliness, Larry Fine stood out with his wild violinist's hair and meek, yet conniving personality. Somehow, he always seemed to get tangled in the trio's zany shenanigans.
Shemp Howard: The Original Stooge
Before Curly's cueball head spun onto the scene, Shemp Howard, the older brother, played the third Stooge. His twitchy mannerisms and vocal sounds added a unique flavor to the group's dynamic.
Curly Joe DeRita: The Latecomer
Curly Joe DeRita stepped into large shoes as the final replacement for the trio. His fuller figure and jovial nature meant he could slapstick with the best of them, keeping the laughs rolling.
Joe Besser: The Squeamish Substitute
Last but not least, Joe Besser brought a different flair to the group with his "not so haaaard!" protests. His gentlemanly and finicky character provided a stark contrast to the rough-and-tumble humor of his predecessors.
