Trevor Larcom Reflects on Filming ‘Happy Endings Funeral Parlor’ and Its Unique Blend of Humor and Heart

Los Ange­les, CA – In a recent inter­view with Pop­fuzion TV, twen­ty-year-old actor Trevor Lar­com opened up about his lat­est film, “Hap­py End­ings Funer­al Par­lor,” a unique blend of humor and heart set against the quirky back­drop of rur­al Iowa. The film fol­lows the mis­ad­ven­tures of two hap­less broth­ers run­ning a strug­gling funer­al home for their eccen­tric Uncle Nicky, where chaos reigns and hilar­i­ty ensues.

Lar­com expressed his excite­ment about the role, cred­it­ing his friend and writer Kyle Ric­chet­ti for piquing his inter­est. “What orig­i­nal­ly drew me to the role was that it was writ­ten by a good friend, Kyle Ric­chet­ti, after he brought it to me. The script and the sto­ry­line real­ly drew me in,” he said. He not­ed that this project dif­fers from his pre­vi­ous endeav­ors, par­tic­u­lar­ly in the sense of cama­raderie expe­ri­enced dur­ing film­ing.

Film­ing in small-town Iowa pro­vid­ed Lar­com with invalu­able expe­ri­ences that shaped his per­for­mance. “After the first day of film­ing, just walk­ing around the streets of the small town real­ly influ­enced my per­for­mance and made me feel like a small-town kid. Mem­o­rable expe­ri­ences were main­ly just talk­ing to the locals since the film was so for­eign to them,” he recalled.

As the film delves into themes of grief inter­twined with humor, Lar­com antic­i­pates that audi­ences will find a remark­able bal­ance. “I think view­ers will be sur­prised to see the crazy things that hap­pen with the broth­ers and what hap­pens to my fam­i­ly and me when we unfor­tu­nate­ly get caught up with them,” he explained.

One of the most sur­pris­ing aspects of the pro­duc­tion for Lar­com was how the writ­ers effec­tive­ly infused ele­ments of Iowa life into his char­ac­ter, mak­ing him feel authen­tic. “It was real­ly how great of a job the writ­ers did of incor­po­rat­ing the sur­round­ings and lit­tle details into mak­ing my char­ac­ter feel not just like a movie char­ac­ter but like a real kid with inter­ests,” he said. He also appre­ci­at­ed the cre­ative free­dom grant­ed dur­ing pro­duc­tion, which helped enhance the comedic ele­ments of the film.

As 2025 approach­es, Lar­com has big aspi­ra­tions. “I hope to con­tin­ue to build and grow this amaz­ing pro­duc­tion and explore every oppor­tu­ni­ty that the new year has to offer me,” he remarked. “I’m def­i­nite­ly look­ing for­ward to help­ing take ‘Hap­py End­ings Funer­al Par­lor’ to high­er lev­els and see­ing it keep grow­ing.”

Lar­com, a third-gen­er­a­tion Ange­leno, has a diverse back­ground that has shaped his artis­tic jour­ney. With sib­lings who inspired his love for research, art, and sports, Lar­com finds him­self well-round­ed and eager to explore var­i­ous dimen­sions of life. He first stepped into act­ing at the age of six after his moth­er’s friend rec­og­nized his tal­ents, quick­ly becom­ing a union mem­ber through a series of suc­cess­ful com­mer­cial book­ings.

Lar­com gained wide­spread recog­ni­tion for his role in the pop­u­lar ABC series “Fresh Off the Boat,” where he filmed over sev­en­ty episodes. He also played Col­in Far­rel­l’s son in the acclaimed series “True Detec­tive,” which gar­nered him an inter­na­tion­al fan base.

Out­side of act­ing, Lar­com enjoys golf­ing, cook­ing healthy meals, and lis­ten­ing to coun­try and rap music. His upbring­ing in a Chris­t­ian ele­men­tary school instilled in him a strong sense of faith and trust in God.

As he embarks on this lat­est ven­ture, Lar­com is enthu­si­as­tic about attend­ing film fes­ti­vals to show­case “Hap­py End­ings Funer­al Par­lor,” a role he is proud to embody. With aspi­ra­tions to con­tin­ue evolv­ing as an actor in the com­ing year, Trevor Lar­com is cer­tain­ly a tal­ent to watch in the film indus­try.
