An excellent Esquire profile from 1976 of the comedian Harry Ritz, the sparkplug of the Ritz Brothers comedy team.
The brothers are an acquired taste, perhaps, for today’s audiences. They are tummlers—the guys at Borscht Belt resorts who would do literally anything to get a laugh, with “anything” generally being something loud and disruptive. Tummlers were the roving masters of ceremony, the one-man entertainment committees, the troublemakers who would lead games, songs, dances, while telling jokes and taking pratfalls.
Similarly, the Ritz Brothers, in their film appearances, would usually kick the chaotic energy of a scene up a few notches even as they performed as a well-rehearsed unit, with Harry the leader.
A few examples of Harry Ritz’s work with his brothers:
“He Ain’t Got Rhythm” from On the Avenue
“Here Pussy Pussy” from The Goldwyn Follies

“You’ve got to have the experiences in your personal life that are usable to you. The experiential rush of my career taking off was so new to me that those were the experiences that were feeding my work for a while. But you’ve got to have real experiences. Human experiences. You’ve got to fall in love; you’ve got to be bored.”
-Timothée Chalamet GQ Magazine (10/17/23)

FREDDIE FOX PHOTOGRAPHED BY NIALL HODSON FOR WONDERLAND MAGAZINE IN THE SUMMER 2024 ISSUE.
TALKING ABOUT JOINING THE CAST OF 'HOUSE OF THE DRAGON.'
"I’m looking forward to seeing the dragons come to life."
"When we shot the scenes for real we were looking at tennis balls on sticks."
"I’d actually only seen a few episodes of series one when it came out originally, so honestly, I was a real newbie to the Thrones universe."
"I did, of course, watch the first series of House of the Dragon before I started work on series two, which I loved."
"The writing, the acting, the production values – they’re all so impressive."
"I think having a neutral eye on the show and not feeling the pressure of being an actor and fan at the same time was helpful, so that I could get into character without too many preconceptions."
"I’m so lucky to be able to inhabit this world building in a way that feels new and exciting for me."
