Kleinman (who performs as The Incredible Kleinman is a minor character who appears in Grand Theft Auto IV as a cabaret act.
Description[]
He is a magician who appears with his assistant Laurel in the Perestroika cabaret.
The pair were apparently once romantically involved and seem to have had a bitter break-up and Kleinman constantly insults her during their performances and their act seems to disguise an ever-escalating war of physical abuse against one another. This starts with their first performance when Kleinman is levitating Laurel when he is distracted by a heckler and drops her. He states she was made a quadriplegic, although the Perestroika MC will try and downplay this, suggesting she may only have been paraplegic.
In their next performance, a seemingly unaffected Laurel prematurely pulls a guillotine blade onto Kleinman's arm, causing a severe laceration. Kleinman retaliates in their next appearance by "accidentally" throwing a knife into her shoulder. Kleinman then has his groin cut by a table saw, followed by being stabbed with a sword and set on fire. In their final act, she shoots him in the head with a pistol at near point-blank range.
His "cheating death" acts did not go very well as the audience and MC become more and more frightened.
He is voiced by Kurt Rhoads.
