There were five Marx Brothers in total: Chico, Harpo, Groucho, Gummo, and Zeppo.

Quick Scoop

  • The Marx Brothers were a famous American comedy family who performed in vaudeville, on Broadway, and in films during the early to mid‑20th century.
  • While only three (Chico, Harpo, Groucho) usually appeared in their most famous movies, the full family act originally included all five brothers, with Gummo and later Zeppo also taking part.

In many classic film credits, you’ll often see them billed as “The Four Marx Brothers,” which is why people sometimes assume there were only four—but historically, the family troupe had five performing brothers.
