## Biography

Fritz Feld, also credited as Fritz Feilchenfeld, was a German-American character actor. Born in Berlin, Germany, he began his career in German cinema in 1917 with a screen debut in *Der Golem und die Tänzerin* and later worked in the United States from the late 1920s.

He appeared in over 140 films across seven decades. Feld is known for roles including Dr. Lehman in *Bringing Up Baby* (1938), Jardinet in *At the Circus* (1939), and supporting parts in *Hello, Dolly!* (1969), *Barefoot in the Park* (1967) and *History of the World: Part I* (1981). He frequently played maître d's, aristocrats and eccentrics, and developed a trademark mouth-slap "pop" sound first used in *If You Knew Susie* (1948).

Feld also appeared in numerous television series such as *Batman* (1966), *Bewitched* (1964) and *Magnum, P.I.* (1980). He was married to actress Virginia Christine from 1940 until his death in Los Angeles on 18 November 1993.
