- Actor
- Soundtrack
Shemp Howard was born Samuel Horwitz in
Brooklyn, New York, USA. He was also the brother of fellow stooges
Moe Howard and Curly Howard. Larry Fine was not related to any of the other
stooges.
When not working with The Three Stooges, Shemp made a lot of feature film appearances, such as The Bank Detective (1940) with W.C. Fields. Shemp, Moe, Larry and Curly appeared in only one short together -- Hold That Lion! (1947). In it, Curly appears as an uncredited train car passenger. Watch for the man with the hat on his face. This was a short, non-speaking cameo, due to a stroke Curly suffered the prior year.

- TrademarksLike brother Curly with his infamous "Woo-woo-woo" and "Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk", Shemp also had a well-known quirk - he would go, "Gee-gee-gee-gee-gee!" in many of his films.
