About

Actor Fritz Klein of Springfield, Illinois has been a full-time actor and speaker for many years. Klein was first asked to portray Lincoln after performing as Lyman Beecher in a local history pageant in Kailua-Kona, Hawai’i where he lived at the time.  After a number of requests for repeat performances, he decided to begin extensive research in order to write a one-man production on Lincoln. That production has led to many others.  He has since performed as Lincoln in 43 states and internationally as well.  He and his wife Linda now reside in Springfield, Illinois where he performs at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum, as well as many other venues around the country.   In the summer Klein plays Lincoln in a variety of venues around Springfield in the local “History Comes Alive” program.  For information about visiting Springfield, Illinois, click HERE
