Fritz Feld (October 15, 1900 – November 18, 1993) was a film character actor who appeared in over 140 films, both silent and sound. His trademark was to slap his mouth with the palm of his hand to create a pop sound.
Born Fritz Feilchenfeld in Berlin, Germany, Feld began his acting career in Germany in 1917, and developed a characterization that came to define him. His trademark was to slap his mouth with the palm of his hand to create a "pop!" sound that indicated both his superiority and his annoyance. The first use of the "pop" sound was in If You Knew Susie (1947).
Feld filmed the sound sequences of the Cecil B. DeMille film The Godless Girl (1929), released by Pathé, without DeMille's supervision since DeMille had already broken his contract with Pathé, and signed with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
Feld often played the part of a maître d', but also a variety of artistocrats and eccentrics; his characters were indeterminately European, sometimes French and sometimes Belgian but always with his particular mannerisms. In one memorable 1963 The Man from U.N.C.L.E. episode, "The Napolean's Tomb Affair", Feld played a banker, a beatnik, a diplomat and a waiter. The episode also featured Ted Cassidy from The Addams Family. In his later years Feld appeared in several Walt Disney films and also played an uncharacteristically touching dramatic role in Barfly. In addition to films, he acted in numerous television series in guest roles, including the recurring role of "Zumdish" the manager of the intergalactic Celestial Department Store on Lost In Space.
