FRITZ

Fritz

Fritz was a security guard at the Federal Building in downtown Los Angeles. He was stationed at a desk in the main lobby of the building, and visitors were expected to check in with him upon entry. Employees, too, such as MacGyver and other DXS agents, would also be expected to sign in at the security desk.

Fritz had come to America from Germany, but he had left family behind when he emigrated, and it had been many years since he had had any contact with his sister, who lived behind the Iron Curtain in East Berlin during the Cold War. During one of his missions to East Germany, MacGyver made a point of visiting Fritz's sister in East Berlin, and she gave him a letter and photographs of her children to bring to her brother in America, assuring him that the family was fine. Fritz was overwhelmed with emotion and deeply grateful when MacGyver surprised him by handing him the unexpected letter upon his return.
