Probably born in the beginning of the fiftieth year in Romania. One of the first Jewish actors during the competition between Avraham Goldfaden and "Professor" Horowitz.

About him B. Gorin writes:

"In the province, he [Horowitz] met with Grodner, and steeped with a hatred for Goldfaden, they put together a company and set out, returning to Bucharest to learn with Black(?).

The troupe now had the names of both Grodner and Horowitz, and the latter here had also taken a place as an actor, together with them  there also arrived Feyvele Fridman."

"Professor" Horowitz for a long time continued to act with F. in Romania, but after that as Horowitz went away from there, F. also took to wandering, and thus we found him in the beginning of the eightieth year acting in London and in those clubs, and at the end of 1886 he acted, together with Jacob P. Adler, Aba Schoengold, Anna Held, Keni Lipzin, the Grodners et al, in the Princes Club, as the turmoil, due to the fire alarm, had in 1887 precipitated the death of seventeen people and because of this, the Yiddish actors had to discontinue their further acting and emigrate. F., together with Adler, Lipzin et al, with the material assistance, created for them by the head rabbi Dr. Adler[?], traveled to Chicago, where they began after Passover 1887 to perform in the "Madison Street" Theatre.
