HOLTZ, Fred *

Actor (1915)

Thanhouser Career Synopsis: Fred Holtz appeared as a member of the sheriff's posse in Mercy on a Crutch, a 1915 Thanhouser film.

Biographical Notes: The New Rochelle Pioneer, March 13, 1915, mentioned the actor: "Get this - the camera did Freddy Holtz, weighing several pounds over 200, in all his pristine youth and glory, posed in a movie this week. No, Freddy is not after Fatty Arbuckle's job, and wouldn't take it as a gift, because that would mean going to Los Angeles, and he is satisfied with New Rochelle, but he prefers posing in pictures to drumming in Loew's Theatre."
