Fritz Klein is a professional Abraham Lincoln impersonator. During the filming of Lost River: Lincoln's Secret Weapon (2009), there was a photograph taken to be used so that a painter could reconstruct a copy of the original painting by Francis Carpenter of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. From looking at a print of the original Carpenter painting, Klein immediately assessed his make-up option. "I need the 'high' hair," he said.
