• “Thirty-five years in professional and educational theatre have taught me that the prime requisite for a performer is to know his audience.   Fritz Klein as Abraham Lincoln not only knows the characteristics of particular age groups and interests, but he has that magical ability to adapt his performance to varying groups without sacrificing a whit of authenticity. Within a month’s time I saw Mr. Klein hold forth for a full-length performance mesmerizing an adult crowd that included many professional historians, and then a lively audience of elementary school children. Both performances grabbed and enraptured his audience.  I’ve seen (and often directed) many Lincolns over the years, but Fritz Klein has distilled our 16th President into living, breathing national treasure.”  Dr. Ken Bradbury (Educator, playwright, actor, musician, composer, and syndicated newspaper columnist.)
• The reaction from our clients to your presentation was exceptional.  Both the 'history buffs' and the 'history resistant' were very impressed with your talk.  Our conference survey included the following comments:
  - He did a great job!
  - I had met Mr. Klein previously but had not heard him speak. I thought his thoughts were engaging and was impressed that he could remain in character during the question and answer period.
  - Lincoln was a highlight, both fun and informational
  - You made a very good choice for the motivational speaker. His choice of words were very applicable to every day business and individual life. Kudos to all of you on this.
  - Fritz was Great............ Fantastic. Thank you
  I couldn't be more pleased with how the whole thing turned out.  Your interactive style was just what I was looking for in this setting.  I would be happy to recommend you in the future.  I'll look for you on TV in November.  Bob Blythe LRS Pensiongold Teaming Conference, Sept. 2009
• "Fritz Klein IS Abraham Lincoln - He exhibits all the complexity, wisdom, and great country humor that Lincoln possessed. We could not imagine a better Lincoln impersonator - our audiences spoke in raving terms about his appearance at our recent Civil War reenactment. We have invited him back." Jeff Schultz, Wade House State Historic Site, Greenbush, Wisconsin.
• " I wish I could adequately express my delight regarding your performance as Abraham Lincoln during the Indiana Chamber of Commerce Annual Awards Dinner..." "Your performance was absolutely outstanding and I was completely mesmerized throughout its duration. I can also relay to you how profoundly moved our attendees were that evening. My telephone has not stopped ringing!" Christopher LaMothe, President, Indiana Chamber of Commerce.
• "In the days following your performance at Westmer, I heard many favorable comments from students and teachers. We were impressed by your sensitivity to the audiences as you were able to change the direction of a story and alter inflection or volume to regain the children's attention. Your material was appropriate for each age group, and the children enjoyed listening." Robert Cummins, Principal, Westmer Elementary School, New Boston Illinois.
• "That was the best, most excellent assembly I've ever had in my life."  Gregory Robak, 4th Grade, Lincoln Elementary School, Highland Park, Illinois
• We worked with Fritz Klein last year for our Docudrama “Lincolns Last Night” that aired on TV pretty much world wide, including a primetime slot on NatGeo Channel US for B.Obama’s inauguration night, a primetime slot on national TV networks in Germany, France, Italy, Belgium etc.
• I am the executive producer of “The Real Abraham Lincoln” as our show was called in the U.S. and I can highly recommend to work with Fritz. He is very professional, has great and deep knowledge on Lincoln and is a positive character to work with. He constantly inspired us on the filming site and his performance was so good that NatGeo took him for all their further assignments with Lincoln stories and there were quite a few.
• We were glad that we choose to work with Fritz and hope you will also give him a chance to become one of  your best horses in your stable as we call it here in Germany.  Peter Bardehle  VIDICOM Media GmbH und Co KG, Geschäftsführer CEO: Dr. Peter Bardehle, Geffckenstr.15, 20249 Hamburg, Germany, TEL +49-40-222133, FAX: +49-40-2271 5757 bardehle@vidicom-tv.com // VISIT OUR WEBSITE: www.vidicom-tv.com // Company Registration Handelsregister Hamburg HRA 10754
• "...knew his material and one felt we were in the room with Abe Lincoln" Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, St Louis, MO
• In terms of his look and presence, Fritz really became Lincoln. Members of my crew even remarked to me how they "gasped when he walked into the room"...and felt as if "he'd just stepped out of a time portal from the 19th century". I noticed a change in everyone's behavior, as if they were truly in the presence of our 16th president. We shot Fritz with the Red Cameras at 4k resolution and even under this scrutiny he passed with flying colors. I highly recommend Fritz for any acting needs you may have. He's a great actor and when it comes to presenting Lincoln, he's the best in the business.  Tucker Bowen Freelance Director / Producer 
  
• I can whole heartedly endorse his skills having worked with him on my National Geographic Special "Lincoln: American Mastermind" which will air Nov 23rd at 9pm EST. Having worked with stage actors before, I was a little nervous Fritz's live event experience would have to be toned down for the intimacy of film work. However, this was not the case. Fritz's performance was wonderfully subtle and nuanced. He was right at home in front of the camera and really brought the character of Lincoln to life for us. He also brought to the table a wealth of knowledge and insight into Lincoln's behavior and mannerisms, even his speech patterns. In addition to his impressive acting chops, Fritz was a pleasure to work with...always patient and thoughtful, he responded well to direction, and gave it his all even late into the night.
