His father was of English and Swedish descent and his mother was from a Jewish family (from Germany and Russia).[3][4] He was reared in Pasadena. He graduated from Montebello High School in 1945, aged 17 and at times claimed 1933 as his birth year.[5] Larson found the role of cub reporter Jimmy Olsen on The Adventures of Superman to be a handicap, because he became typecast as a naive young man.[6] This caused him to do little acting after the show ended in 1958, and instead he focused on behind-the-scenes work, such as writing and production. Larson was always willing to sit for interviews about the Superman series and his connection to it, and in recent years had a number of cameos that paid subtle tribute to his character and the series, including a 1991 episode of the TV series Superboy, alongside Noel Neill, who played Lois Lane in Adventures of Superman, and an episode of The New Adventures of Superman as an aged Jimmy Olsen in the episode "Brutal Youth", first broadcast on October 20, 1996. Larson had a cameo in a late-1990s American Express card commercial with Jerry Seinfeld and an animated Superman, directed by David Kellogg. He and Neill provided commentary on several Adventures of Superman episodes for the January 2006 DVD release of the 1953 season, and in 2006, he appeared in Bryan Singer's film Superman Returns in a cameo role as "Bo the Bartender". Larson and Neill appeared together at the premiere of Superman Returns.{{Citation needed|date=February 2015}} Larson's last television appearance was in an episode of Special Victims Unit, which aired on the NBC network on January 6, 2010. In this episode, titled "Quickie", Larson portrayed Dewey Butler, the grandfather of a young suspect who was taking revenge on women by knowingly spreading AIDS to them. Among his other work, Larson wrote the libretto to the opera Lord Byron to music by Virgil Thomson.[7] Personal lifeLarson was the life partner of director James Bridges from 1958 until Bridges' death on June 6, 1993.[8] Prior to that, he was the companion of actor Montgomery Clift.[9] Larson owned and resided in the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed George Sturges House in the Brentwood section of Los Angeles, California until his death. He died on September 20, 2015 at the age of 87.[10] His interment was at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier, California.[11] Filmography{{col-begin}}{{col-break|width=50%}}Film
