Fred Ott

Fred Ott

Frederick P. Ott (1860, New Jersey – 24 October, 1936, West Orange, New Jersey) was an employee of Thomas Edison's laboratory in the 1890s. His likeness appears in two of the earliest surviving motion pictures – "Edison Kinetoscopic Record of a Sneeze" (a.k.a. "Fred Ott's Sneeze") and "Fred Ott Holding a Bird" – both from 1894.

In the former film, Ott takes a pinch of snuff, which causes him to sneeze.
