Chuck Low
Biography
Charles Lewis Low (July 21, 1928 – September 18, 2017) was an American actor.
Low was born in New York City, to a Russian mother and Austrian-Polish father. He achieved his biggest success as Morris "Morrie" Kessler in the Martin Scorsese film Goodfellas (1990). The character of Morrie was famous for his "Morrie's Wig Shop" commercial which is seen as comical, and that coupled with his penchant for pestering Jimmy Conway about money leads most of the characters to see him as a nuisance, setting up his eventual murder by Tommy DeVito. Kessler's character is based on Martin Krugman. He was also known for wearing his dark brown leather blazer.
He has had small roles in other Robert De Niro films, such as The Mission, The King of Comedy, and most notably in Sergio Leone's 1984 film Once Upon a Time in America as Deborah and Fat Moe's father. He also guest starred in a first-season episode of The Sopranos, as Shlomo Teittleman. He can also be seen in Alan Taylor's 2003 film, Kill the Poor.

Anne Breymann
Biography
Welcome to my miniature world of magical creatures,
I’m an artist and visual storyteller, working in a variety of mediums such as sculpture, puppets, diorama, animation and illustration. My work is inspired by my passion for nature, folktales and mythology, woven together with the absurdities of human behaviour in everyday life. With the help of clay, paper, textiles, wire, wood and found treasures I bring the creatures that live in my head out into the world.
I grew up in Bremen close to the North Sea, and studied at the Kassel School of Art and Design in Germany. For more than a decade I’ve been part of the fabulous world of animation, balancing my time between freelance and personal work. I create animations and puppets for film, tv, theatre and museums, direct short films and teach workshops on puppet making for stop motion animation.
I work from my studio in Berlin, which I share with eight fellow artists. My work has been shown at numerous film festivals around the world as well as in exhibitions and art galleries. -- Breymann
