How many Marx Brothers? What are their names?
The core of the act was the three elder brothers, Chico, Harpo, and Groucho; each developed a highly distinctive stage persona. The two younger brothers, Gummo and Zeppo, did not develop their stage characters to the same extent, and eventually left the act to pursue other careers. Gummo was not in any of the movies; Zeppo appeared only in the first five. Gummo claimed he was the #1 reason why the group was successful: “I quit the act!” More details are here: http://en.wikipedia.
