Moses Harry Horwitz

Moses Harry Horwitz, who is better known as Moe Howard, was the leader of the pack. Moe got started in acting by working as an errand boy for Vitagraph Studios in Brooklyn, New York. The studio started giving him work and he eventually joined a Mississippi River showboat’s acting troupe.

Surprisingly, Moe announced that he would be retiring from the Stooges in 1925 after he married Helen Schonberger, and opted to work in real estate alongside his mother for steady income. Ted Healy was able to convince him to come back in 1928.
